At the Running Back/Full Back position: Tim Hightower (2008 Avg: 7.15 Pts/Game) is no longer starting and Dan Kreider and Chris Wells have been added to the starting lineup.
Schedule Difficulty:
Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Warner played last year (111 - 96 - 1 0.536%) were more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule for the upcoming season (100 - 108 - 0 0.481%), and this season's teams gave up more points (4,734) compared to last season's teams (4,468) so this could mean more fantasy points.
Performance Against Sub 500 Teams:
Warner had a lower fantasy avg (19.84 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (20.66 pts/game), and with a less difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be a indication of a better fantasy season.

Starting Position Performance against Defenses:
