At the Kicker position: John Kasay (2008 Avg: 8.13 Pts/Game) has been added to the starting lineup. Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Delhomme playes this year (123 - 84 - 1 0.594%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (97 - 111 - 0 0.466%), and last season's teams gave up more points (4,964) compared to this season's teams (4,368) so this could mean less fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Delhomme surprisingly had a higher fantasy avg (14.84 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (13.74 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could be an indication of a higher fantasy average. Defenses: From a defensive standpoint, Delhomme will face defenses that are stronger this year (Avg.
