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.
Was last season the beginning of the end? or the result of a dysfunctional offense and a foolish move on Lewis' part by losing weight to become 'more elusive?' We'll probably find out this answer very early in the season, the weight's back on and he's being asked to be the between the tackles bruiser this offense is built around. If 2008 was a bump in the road this could be a nice last hurrah for Lewis.
OK, fellow Browns fans.... we have 4 NFL titles (50,54,55,64) and 4 AAFC titles (46-49) to our name, so let's not forget that we haven't ALWAYS been this bad...... I was born in 1966, so I haven't been alive for ANY of them, but I DO remember ...
Quick........I'm on the clock in a draft.......I have to go WR here and Braylon is the most talented on the board by far.......I want to grab him, but I dont know what to think of his "so-called" injury, his willingness to give 100% in ...

Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 2
Positives Wow. As a Ravens homer, I can tell you there really aren't many positives. So... uhm... He's the clearly-defined starter in Cleveland? Maybe he's fully recovered from his past dings and dents? Maybe a change of scenery translates into a hookup to the Juvenation Machine? He's my RB3, so I'm not counting on him for too much? Notice how all these "positives" are questions? Negatives If he had trouble running behind the Ravens o-line, how in the blue heck is he gonna improve behind Cleveland's? Typical Jamal Lewis rushing attempt the past two seasons- snap, tippitoe like a scared girl, and then run straight into the back of your blockers for less than 3 yards. He has difficulty running outside the tackles, and he sure can't catch. Draft Strategy Believe me, I was happy to see him leave Baltimore, but, despite his deteriorating skills, I wanted to insure some RB depth. As we know, RBs go fast in these Shark leagues. There was no way Lewis or anyone comparable was going to be available at my next pick. I think you're fork-in-the-back done Jamal, but prove me wrong. (Contributed by: adevil519)
Round 5, Pick 10
Positives He was one of the few clear cut starters left on the board. Should be playable in bye weeks with limited upside. Camp reports so far are good. Negatives He could be getting a little used up at this point. Cleveland's offense isn't exactly a powerhouse. Draft Strategy I felt I needed a #3 RB at this point. Had Ahman Green dropped to me I may have taken him instead. Hopefully with my other two quality RBs I won't have to use him much. (Contributed by: Decktard)
Round 5, Pick 10
Positives He is definitely the starter and will get as many carries as he can handle. Negatives He's not explosive anymore. He's going to a bad team who will be behind early often, lessening his carries. The lack of a proven QB will enable defenses to stack the box against him. Draft Strategy Not the greatest pick ever, but since i took Lynch a rd. earlier for his upside i needed someone who i knew would be definitely starting and in the lineup for at least the first half of the season until Lynch definitely takes over in Buffalo. I liked Lamont Jordan even less, and the Detroit and Green RB situations are up in the air so i went with someone who i knew would definitely get the carries. (Contributed by: killak_35)
