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.
Edge gets new life in Seattle but the offense isn't all that great to start with and Edge isn't as quick as he used to be. He'll get some touches but not enough to warrant a selection. Late round flyer at best.
No current injury information exists for Edgerrin James

Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 4
Positives He will be the primary ball carrier and should carry the ball 300+ times if he stays healthy.
He had 10 games with over 20+ carries in '07 and only one game under 10 carries.
Edge finished last season as the 10th ranked RB in this Fantasy Sharks scoring system.
Opens the season with a nice schedule and gets to play the 49ers and Rams twice.
Negatives He'll turn 30 this season and has had a ton of carries over the duration of his career.
His reception numbers have decreased every year since 2004.
The Arizona O-Line isn't one of the best units in the league and the center (and backup center) are currently injured.
He may lose a few carries to Tim Hightower this year, and that may include some at the goal-line.
Not much upside. He probably won't better his numbers from the previous couple of years in Arizona. Draft Strategy Not a pick that made me want to do cartwheels, but one I needed to make here. He was probably the last clear starter left on the board and I still needed to add a RB2.
I don't expect him to finish the season as the 10th ranked RB like last season, but I'd be happy with anything in the 15-20 range. I think he's capable of doing that providing he stays healthy. (Contributed by: Aussie Cowboy)
Round 3, Pick 7
Positives Proven and durable running back. Clear-cut starter and used to handling the load. Negatives Bad team, bad O-line, on the wrong side of 30. Draft Strategy RBs go incredibly fast in expert leagues, so I thought this was the safest pick available. Edge probably won't win any fantasy games by himself, but he should be a consistent source of about 10 points/week. (Contributed by: pcfountain)
