Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the TE 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.

Draft Analysis
Round 3, Pick 2
Positives WR playing TE. Outdistances other TE by large margin. 4 Year average for Tony is 75 recpt. for 950 yds. and 8 TD's. Those are WR2 numbers. Negatives It's a TE in the 3rd round. The ability of Tony to actually separate himself from the rest of his position as I project will define not only my draft but the success of my team. Draft Strategy Could have taken RB's or QB here. Only QB I like this early is Culpepper and he is already gone. RB's left all feel like a reach to me. Too many questions on each of them.
Note added after 7th round.
Hindsight 4 rounds later -- could have gone "safe" in the draft and picked C.Martin in this spot. (Contributed by: Cantebury)
Round 3, Pick 7
Positives He is like good 2nd WR. The level dropped a lot after him in TE position. Barring any injury, he is pretty much a lock as a Top TE. Comparing drafting a WR, he is a much safe choice. Plus the WR positions seems to be pretty deep and unpredictable. Negatives I won't take him if any one the top 6 WRs still left. Draft Strategy I was targeting WR Chad Johnson or Hines Ward with this pick. They just went right before my pick. I am facing a tough choice here. All the other WR I like I believe I will still have a good chance to get him in next round. The only QB I will consider here is long gone. Tony seems to be the only choice left for me. I was a little surprised that he is still here. Usually he is like a top 3rd round choice in most TE required leagues. (Contributed by: Java)
Round 3, Pick 6
Positives The five-time probowler is the Cheifs all-time leading receiver, and he's a Tight End. With 71 grabs last season, 916 yards and 10 TDs, he is as good as a WR. Negatives With stellar performances for the last five or so years, will he experience a let down? Draft Strategy I dreafted two solid RBs in the first two rounds. i wanted to go WR here, but the big dogs were gone, so I thought "Hey, TEs are required in this league, why not grab the best now, and one that is a WR in disguise?" Gonzo fit the bill. I really do not think I sacrificed anything here for two reasons; First, Gonzo puts up numbers like a 3rd round WR; and two, the only other TE that will come close to him is Heap. This will help my team out perform my competition at the TE position, and anything I lost by not taking a guy like S. Moss or Ward will be negligible. (Contributed by: mrkkti)
