How much do you look at matchups while drafting?

I think matchups are extremely important... look what ron dayne did at the end of the year last year, now imagine a stud having those same matchups the stats will multiply even more.

I like to look at playoff schedules at the beginning of the year, but I won't go so far as to target players from certain teams unless the matchups are just ridiculous for someone (I mean like they have to have a schedule like @DET, ARI, HOU in weeks 14, 15, & 16).

I pay more attention to schedules about midway through the season when I am looking for WW defenses for the stretch run. (I also pay attention to it for trades, but trades tend to be rare in my leagues - no one tries to make trades that are good for both teams, they just try to screw each other)
