10 Players Whose Values Decrease Based Solely on the 2011 Schedule

Eli Manning, Giants, QB. Only the Bills encounter a tougher collection of defenses to pass against.
David Garrard, Jaguars, QB. With the fans calling for Blaine Gabbert, Garrard's hands will be tied by a series of tough pass defenses.
Adrian Peterson, Vikings, RB. A deteriorating defense and a tough schedule to run against will force the Vikings into a passing mode in 2011.
Darren McFadden, Raiders, RB. No team has a schedule tougher to run against than the Raiders.
Jamaal Charles, Chiefs, RB. The 2011 schedule is tough enough, but remember: Last year's cakewalk vastly overrated this guy.
Beanie Wells, Cardinals, RB. He's not even a fulltime player on a team that will have to throw a lot more than it runs this season.
Pierre Thomas, Saints, RB. When Drew Brees goes up against one of the 10 softest schedules in terms of pass defenses, why would you run the ball?
Brandon Marshall, Dolphins, WR. Substandard quarterback, lack of a quality sidekick, tough schedule to pass against: It all adds up to a long season for the temparmental star.
Steve Johnson, Bills, WR. Even before it gets awfully cold in Buffalo, the Bill passing game figures to struggle against the league's toughest set of pass defenses.
Ron Gronkowski, Patriots, TE. The Pats have many passing options and a much easier schedule to run against, but the 2010 surprise will have a hard time repeating.
