WHAT AM I LOOKING AT?

The charts below are 2009 rushing strength of schedules, based SOLELY on the average remaining opponent's rush yardage allowed. 
The cumulative average (in red)  is based on a RB's 2009 remaining opponents.  

Ex:  Ryan Grant has the most difficult remaining SOS in '09 - average opponent allowed 98.6 y.p.g.

WHAT SHOULD THIS BE USED FOR?

The short answer?  Not much. The long answer?  There have been very exhaustive studies involving the
statistical relevance of strength of schedule based on remaining average allowed stats. 
The results indicate an extremely weak correlation.  S.O.S. is simply one more small measure to take into consideration when attempting
to "split hairs" for weekly start/bench decisions. 

Use these stats for anything more than that and you're on your own.
