10 Players Whose Values Increase Based Solely on the 2011 Schedule

  1. Matt Schaub, Texans, QB. Defensively, AFC South rivals Indianapolis and Jacksonville aren't nearly what they used to be.

  2. Matthew Stafford, Lions, QB. The Lions face the second-toughest collection of defenses to run against, so that means more throwing.

  3. Rashard Mendenhall, Steelers, RB. The Steelers are this year's Chiefs - no team faces a more fantasy-friendly schedule.

  4. Felix Jones, Cowboys, RB. Only the Steelers encounter an easier set of teams to run against.

  5. Steven Jackson, Rams, RB. As the Rams improve, they'll run more and more against a schedule that struggles to stop the run.

  6. Tim Hightower, Redskins, RB. The Redskins' NFC East competition is heading seriously downhill in terms of defense.

  7. Knowshon Moreno, Broncos, RB. A new, defensive-minded coach can afford to play it conservatively against a bunch of opponents who have trouble stopping the run.

  8. A.J. Green, Bengals, WR. Bad teams have to throw a lot, and fortunately for the Bengals, their opponents aren't real strong at stopping the pass.

  9. Jermichael Finley, Packers, TE. Only the Steelers get a softer collection of defenses to throw against.

  10. Panthers defense. Carolina's opponents as a whole struggle to stop the run, which will help this bad team keep the clock rolling and focus on defense.
