Fantasy Football Index - Scheduletron
This is a listing of "difficulty of schedule" based on a multitude of parameters, all are from using last years info. Take this stuff with a grain of salt, remember last year Buffalo was the #1 Defence in the league but early season reports had them like 23rd, also San Diego was said to be a walk over, so you never know what will happen with injuries, players breaking out and such.

Here is a 2005 weekly matchup report with player rankings you can download. This report is based on Yahoo standard scoring:

that's the good stuff!
yeah, I was looking at that link yesterday, and the one zarback posted and the only problem is, they don't take into consideration about off season moves. i.e. they both show that Oaklands offence is going to suck this year -dispite that the additions of moss and jordan and that they have the 9th best O-line. And, KC's D is still crap despite all the players picked up in the off season. -I'm not sure of all the other teams- I think your correct to say to be careful when looking at these, and just use as a starting point.
Anyone know where I can find a list of all the offseason moves or grades?
what are all those different colors for in the ratings
The color coding is designed to indicate the probable points the defense (or offense) is likely to give up. The warmer colors indicate the likelyhood of a better matchup vs. the tougher matchups in blues. Obviously this isn't an exact science and offseason moves with definitely change things to some extent. But it should be a good starting point. More info is here:

Also, I agree the Raider offense should put up a lot more points this year with Moss/Gordon and be a tougher matchups for defenses. Hopefully, they hold onto the ball better and the O line does their job too. I'm still a little worried about Collins...he's got a great arm, but doesn't make very good decisions sometimes. I guess I'll get a preview at camp on Monday!
Anyway...not perfect...but hopefully its a good starting point for some more analysis.
