I have the third pick and I was thinking Portis, but now I see Faulk and Holmes have the two easiest schedules for the playoffs. Who Is The Third Pick?
remember, you still have to make it to the playoffs. dont let the end of the year thing be TOO big a factor in your draft. personally, out of the three you're considering, i like portis the most. however, we all know the scoring potential of faulk and holmes.

also remember, the rankings given are based on the performances of teams for LAST YEAR. Sure, it does give you a good indication of how hard a team will have it, but there are SURPRISE teams every year.
For example:
Last year if I saw my fantasy quarterback played the Bears in week 16, well, I would be worried. As it turned out however, the Bears were only Cubs last year.
The Falcons and Panthers looked like fantasy feasts last year when you had players opposing them, but they had some stingy defenses.
Bottom Line: Don't make TOO much out of the schedule.
That's the reason I picking the Panthers defense, who will be good anyways, but the schedule is really easy. Also that's the main reason my backup defense is the Rams. Lovie Smith will get them playing well again and he will be a head coach someday in the NFL. Also, it's the reason I picked Hasselbeck over some of the other QB's. Hell, he plays the Cardinals in Week 16 our Super Bowl week. That will be a lopsided game. The Cards always role over.

however, it doesn't matter who Hasselbeck plays in Week 16 if your season is over
