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: Michael Bush has the overall skill and body build to of been the Raiders top dog in the running game last year. With all his talent, he failed to impress his coaching staff at times with his preparation and desire. Falling in and out of Coach Tom Cables dog house seemed to be a yearlong drama for Bush.

Through it all Bush did show the kind of skill he has as late in the season, he posted a strong game against the Broncos 133 yards rushing and a touchdown on only eighteen carries. For the season Bush was strong when on the field as he posted a 4.8 yard per carry average for 589 yards on the ground.

Like Darren McFadden and Justin Fargas last season Bush failed to see over 130 carries on the season and that is simply not enough touches for any one runner to be a fantasy option.

2010 NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings: Early in the offseason Coach Cable was saying that he wanted a feature runner in this offense. In OTA’s it looked like Bush was primed to be that very player as he consistently saw first team touches over McFadden.

However, Coach Cable balked on his feature back talk by June and said he is more than happy using both McFadden and Bush in a 50/50 split. Thankfully, Fargas is gone from this messy situation so now fantasy owners only have to worry about two players to choose from on this team.

The Raiders have made strong strides to becoming a solid football team for this upcoming year and someone should be a productive player on the ground. With the 5th easiest schedule to pass against and the 7th easiest to run against the Raiders should move the football better than previous years. This is even more convincing to believe when you remember that the team doesn’t have JaMarcus Russell (thank God) under center and now they have Jason Campbell.

Overall I believe Bush is the favorite to have the stronger fantasy reliance in this offense for 2010. McFadden should see around the same workload early on, but if he continues to gain 3.4 yards a carry it will be Bush that continues to see more work as we get deeper into the season.

Don’t look to Bush as a week one starter, but if he shows good signs early on then you might want to consider using him as a good flex play option.
