While the relative value of a team's strength of schedule is marginal for fantasy purposes, it's still one more weapon to have in an fantasy owners draft arsenal. Below are the rankings from the teams with the most difficult schedules in 2010 (Titans and Texans) to those with the easiest (the NFC West).
How does this knowledge help you?
Perhaps you're on the fence about whether to take Chris Johnson or Adrian Peterson with the first pick. Knowing AP has an easier schedule than Johnson may be the bit of knowledge that moves you off the fence.
Maybe you're torn between Matt Schaub and Philip Rivers at QB. Could Schaub having the worst schedule and Rivers having one of the easiest be important information?
These are little things on the whole, but still, knowledge can be a powerful weapon in the battle for fantasy dominance!
