Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the RB position. The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
What he has going for him is his experience playing in New England for Josh McDaniels, last season. What he has against him is that his skill set translates best, perhaps, to short yardage packages - which happens to be the niche Peyton Hillis carved out for himself a year ago.
Broncos spent high picks for these two and they both really didnt make any visisble effects, imo. Do you see any improvement going to come for these rookies. I am worried about them because ayers was a one-year wonder on tennesse and alphonso ...
Denver got shalacked today, the Ravens just wanted it more but I am pumped and ready for next Monday night.
My trials and tribulations against the Steeler fans on these boards are well documented, mostly provoked by me.

Draft Analysis
Round 3, Pick 4
Positives Norv Turner Offense (Emmit Smith, Stephen Davis, etc...) RB's under turner have huge fantasy years. Turner is raving about this guy and he is fresh (having backed up Curtis MArtin). Big powerfull and a decent receiver out of the backfield. Negatives Don't know if he can handle a full seaosn as the feature back he hasn't done it yet. Draft Strategy I was hoping either Lamont or Stephen Jackson would be available here. I took a risk at round 2 and it paid off. Jackson went leaving me with a n easy choice. Should get great production from him here. (Contributed by: Mad_Puppy)
Round 3, Pick 1
Positives He has the power, experience and drive to be a great starting back. Hopefully he will take advantage of this new opportunity with Oakland. Now that the shadow of Curtis Martin has been lifted, it's time to shine. Negatives New team, used to backing up Curtis Martin, not used to as many carries as a full time back. Draft Strategy As you can see, I love running backs! They will make or break you. Now that I have two power starters, I can take some risks. LJ would be a risk because he's starting with Oakland and could be great, but could also flop. (Contributed by: bgarske)
Round 3, Pick 4
Positives Jordan is one of the "middle of the pack" RBs that has tremendous upside. He finally pouted his way out from underneath Curtis Martin's shadow so now we'll get to see what he can do. In NFL terms, he's essentially a rookie in that he has no wear and tear on his body, but he does have some knowledge of pass protection so he should still be on the field on third down (unlike most rookies). Oakland has cleared the deck for him to be "the guy" so if he is able to handle the job, the fantasy points should roll in by the bunch. Negatives Any time a player is "the guy", it is a new set of circumstances where you don't know if the player can handle it. And any team with Randy Moss on it there might be a struggle to get into the end zone. Draft Strategy Jordan has strong upside potential from where I'm picking him, I believe he could end up being one of the top 10 fantasy producers at RB by the time the season is over. At the same time, there's not a lot of risk with the selection since he will be the unquestioned starter on opening day. (Contributed by: doug_coutts)
