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.
The questions still remain, was the second half of 2007 the real Ryan Grant? Did the holdout affect his 2008 performance? Where does that leave him for 2009? We think the pendulum will swing a little bit here, last year Grant went well before he should, this year QB Rodgers may grab that mantle, leaving Grant slightly undervalued in 2009 fantasy drafts. He should be able to establish himself and put up good numbers in 2009, but keep an eye on his early season performances.
Last season, the Packers had some awful luck. they outgained their opponents significantly but couldn't win games. They went 6-10 but 7 of those losses were extremely close, by an average of 3 points if memory serves me.
This season seems like ...
O-line, O-line, O-line , Tackle, Tackle lets start the chant...

Draft Analysis
Round 2, Pick 7
Positives Strong young player, put up good numbers last year.
Team was strong last year, continuing to rebuild, expected to be better this year. Negatives No Favre, won't be a negative if Rodgers performs as expected. Draft Strategy Was the best RB choice left at this point. (Contributed by: DAFLCommish)
Round 2, Pick 11
Positives Strong young runner who plays behind a great line. His holdout was short so he should be very fresh by the 1st week. Negatives Rodgers needs to keep defenses honest or he could suffer. Draft Strategy Getting a guy who's the focal point of his offense at the end of the 2nd round is terrific. Nobody will steal his TDs down close and he can hit one from anywhere on the field.

Round 2, Pick 12
Positives Young straight-ahead runner on a solid offense. Heavily incentive-based contract gives him lots of motivation to excel. Negatives Inexperience. Uncertainty about Aaron Rodgers. Defense could stack the line and force Rodgers to beat them, but I think he can with this group of WRs. Draft Strategy I was very happy to land a starting RB available at the end of Round 2. I'll certainly be aggressive acquiring a RB3 though since Grant is unproven. (Contributed by: Phyrre56)
