Ask the Expert: Which struggling star do you expect to return to greatness

Of all the league's struggling stars -- Matt Forte, Steve Smith, name your own candidate -- which one do you see as most likely to turn things around the rest of the way?


The list is long and distinguished. Some others worthy of contention for the struggling tag include: Tony Romo, C. Portis, B. Westbrook, MB3, B. Edwards
T.O., A. Boldin and Eddie Royal. My turnaround candidate is Clinton Portis. With questions at QB (and Head Coach) Portis may find himself with more opportunities as he tries to carry the team on his shoulders. He is currently 20th for RBs but has started to pull away recently. The remainder of his schedule is medium to tough run defenses. He has the potential for a top 10 finish.
