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.
Seems just the other day he was going first or second overall in fantasy drafts, a lock for 100 yards and a touchdown per game, right? Well much has changed for LJ. His starting job isn't in jeopardy quite yet, but his games featuring 25 carries minimum behind what used to be an incredibly sound O-line are long gone. LJ is the prototypical grinder, his effect on opposing defenses felt most sharply in the latter stages of games. It isn't out of the question he could reach the century mark and maybe even rack up a few more touchdowns than people expect at this point in his career, but the problem is that LJ is sort of a square peg in a round hole. When you think of Todd Haley and Arizona's pass-happy tendencies, doesn't LJ seem perfectly suited for the pass blocking and route running asked of RBs in that offense? I didn't think so either.
Thursday came the news of Chad Ochocinco saying that he wanted to see Terrell Owens sign with the Bengals. During a party in Miami on Friday, which was attended by coach Marvin Lewis, Owens said that he would change his name to Ochouno if he came to ...
I can't believe nobody comes to the team talk and we are 7-2. We should be 10- 2 after Oakland, Cleveland, and Detroit. At least 9-3. I thought at the start of the year we might be a fringe playoff team at 9-7, I couldn't see better than 10-6. ...
How long you been a bengal fan, how long have you live in or around the Cincinnati area?
Personally, Im tired of the Cedric Benson bashing; B. Scott aint doing squat until Benson goes down. It amazes me from a couple years ago listening to the ...
1. Everyone knows I have a man crush on Bernard Scott... He will probably get a little at first and I think he may end up getting as much as 40 to 50% by seasons end. Possibly more if Benson can't cure his fumbling and pass blocking woes.
2. Our ...
T.J. Houshmandzadeh's apparent exit raises questions about the status of Chad Ocho Cinco, whose trade value has fallen significantly in the past year. By trading him, the Bengals could make a clean break from the diva-receiver years, if they are so ...

Draft Analysis
Round 2, Pick 11
Positives Prior to 2007, was a top 5 fantasy back two years running. LJ is among the league leaders in touches per game, a big advantage in this format. Even after posting an abysmal 4 TDs in 2007, his 3-year average remains a stellar 15 a season. Negatives Kansas City rates to be awful this season. Herm Edwards is among the most fantasy unfriendly coaches in football. The offensive line in KC used to be the best in the league, but now is in major rebuilding mode. Draft Strategy There's not much strategy here. This is an RB-friendly format and LJ has an ADP nearly a full round higher than this. I'm not a particularly large fan of LJ, but he's clearly the best risk here. (Contributed by: Agenda42)
Round 2, Pick 3
Positives Another workhorse RB. LJ held out of training camp last year. He was just hitting his stride (Back to back 100 yd/ 1 td games in weeks 6 & 7 and then after a bye, had @ 100 total yds and scored 2 TD's before breaking his foot vs Green Bay in week 9) last year when his season ended due to injury.
He will be the centerpiece of the offense. Negatives Injury concerns. Conservative offense. Brodie Croyle. Herm Edwards. Draft Strategy LJ has uber-stud potential. I could not pass him up in a Shark League. There are plenty of possession receivers to go around, but feature backs like Johnson are rare, indeed.
