Ask the Expert: Which one player do you think fantasy coaches should be most thankful for having on their teams this year. Why?

Which one player do you think fantasy coaches should be most thankful for having on their teams this year. Why?

I will give you one at each position. Each gives great value for the position they were drafted. 

QB RG3                    Currently 2nd best QB (drafted 12.06)
RB C. J Spiller          7th best RB in PPR leagues (drafted 6.11)
WR Reggie Wayne   4th best WR in PPR leagues (drafted 7.01)
TE Heath Miller        5th among TEs in PPR (undrafted at times)

You can make a case for any of these players as difference makers on a Championship fantasy team this year. But if you force me to pick one....Robert Griffin III and his 25 points per game is a steal in the 12th. 
Honorable mention goes to Heath Miller but he has already lost some points with the QB situation in flux the past two weeks at PIT. 

And happy Thanksgiving!
