Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the DEF 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.
If only the Vikings had a consistent offense, this would boost their fantasy defense into the top 3. Minnesota should be a fantasy starter, probably in the range of the 8-10th best. While other owners are taking the top defenses early, you can cash in later on with the Vikings as they should provide consisten numbers all season.
And you can take it to the bank!
Ryan Longwell was on with PA today, and said Brett told him how much fun he had this year. Longwell (One of Brett's best friends on the team) is convinced he will be back.
Hopefully he gets rested up down ...

Round 14, Pick 3
Positives Adding Fred Smoot, Erasmus James and Sam Cowart in the off-season should give the Vikings a much-needed boost on the defensive side of the ball. Negatives This is the Vikings, who have been prone to giving up easy, long touchdowns. If Smoot's pre-season injuries linger, it could be same story, different season for the purple-people eaters. Draft Strategy The Falcons defense were selected right before my pick and they would have been mine. Oh well, a few defenses always surprise and the Vikes could be one of them. If not, that's why they give us the waiver wire. (Contributed by: Ron_Anish)
