Leonard Fournette. I am old school-really love the work horse RB. The Jags do not seem to have anyone else and no other weapons in the arsenal. And are most likely not to get any real weapons in the foreseeable future. Many will take Kareem Hunt but I am still trying to justify my sell high call from a few weeks ago.

Ask the Expert Question: Pick one player who's been great thus far that you believe it's a great time to sell high on -- somebody who won't be as good the rest of the season, and say why.

Kareem Hunt. He looked a little less "Superman" on Sunday Night and has the rookie wall to contend with along with two offensive linemen out. I say sell High-very high. He also seems to start slow and really explode in the second half of games when defenses are tired and run-down. He may not see that as much in the next few weeks. Well he does face PIT this week so perhaps the time to sell will be after a big game versus the Steelers this week.

Ask the Expert Question: Several first- and second-year quarterbacks have started the season off strong. Of these young passers, which one do you believe will go on to have the best NFL career?

DeShaun Watson has my eye. He has stepped in as the starter quite admirably and has some great receivers in DeAndre Hopkins and a returning Will Fuller. His rushing makes him lethal in every game and the Texans defense will bail him out on occasion. If/when in the future the Texans get a decent RB the sky is the limit.
