Before you’re 2010 fantasy football draft begins, it’s always good to see the schedule of particular players you’re prospecting for your future team.

While there is no guaranteeing which teams will be strong and which teams will be weak in a given season, it’s still good to have an idea of the opponents your players will face.

Once the 2010 – 2011 season has started, we will find out which teams are for real and which teams are going to fold up. Who would have thought the Bengals would go undefeated in their division and the Titans would start out losing their first six games in 2009?

Throughout the season, you can always come back to our site and use our schedules for each team and player for your reference. Alternatively, you can also print out or download the schedule as well.

2009 Fantasy Year In Review: Darren McFadden took a step backwards in his second year from a disappointing rookie season. Each of McFadden’s years spent in the NFL have seen him only carry the football around 110 times a season. This is simply not enough work for any running back to be productive and find a grove on the field to have success.

With LG Robert Gallery gone for the 2009 season, McFadden’s yard per carry average dropped from 4.4 to 3.4, and it is obvious he needs Gallery playing.

2010 NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings: The Oakland Raiders as a team have had a very good offseason in picking up key players to improve this team overall. McFadden also received good news for his fantasy value when the team parted ways with Justin Fargas and now he only has to compete with Michael Bush.

That said, Bush is looking like the running back that will handle the early down duties, and physically he is better suited for that role. For McFadden, I would like to see him get closer to 200 carries this season and around 60 receptions in the passing game.

Since Reggie Bush came into the league we are seeing more running back slash wide receivers playing both positions. Using a player like McFadden in the slot isn’t out hard to believe has he has good skills in the passing game and would be an asset for Jason Campbell.

Unfortunately the Raiders aren’t the most creative offense in the world, and I doubt they will use McFadden in this fashion. While Coach Tom Cable is saying the Raiders will give Bush and McFadden an even amount of work, I still think McFadden could get left out if he fails to impress early.

McFadden is still worth selecting on draft day but if he’s not seeing around fifteen touches a week in the first month you should go ahead and explore other options on the waiver wire.
