Fantasy Index Magazine "Ask the Expert" Question: Pick one currently struggling star who will be significantly better the rest of the season, and why.

Pick one currently struggling star who will be significantly better the rest of the season, and why.

Andre Johnson is the 14th ranked WR in most PPR leagues due to a weak week 1 and 3 and an injury induced goose egg in week 4. Now his ankle seems fine. Look for big points this week and for the rest of the year as he returns to form and the #1 ranking.

Week 7 for FFGuidebook.com. 5 and 2

Here is my week in review:

Seven major fantasy football leagues for me this year:

Three are Expert leagues. Two of those Expert leagues are associated with my rankings, projections and mock drafts in Fantasy Football Index magazine and Fantasy Football Pro Forecast magazine. The other is the now annual FFPC Pro's vs Joes Challenge. The Fantasy Index Expert Auction and FFPC Pro's vs Joes are also Draft Masters format so draft and forget.

Of the four remaining money leagues, one is the Fantasy Football Players Championship Main Event, two are FootballGuys Players Championship teams and the last is my local league.

Week 7 Results: Wins are in BOLD
Fantasy Index Expert Auction-Draft Masters: WIN, 9-2 versus all the other teams. 4th place overall but a long way from first.
FFPC Pros vs. Joes League #7 - Charles Jefferson's Z-28's: Loss, went 5-6 ( we play every team each week), 8th overall and just treading water. Injury to Ryan Grant and Jake Delhommes struggles drag this no transaction team down.

Fantasy Football Pro Forecast Expert League-Win now 5-2

FFPC Main Event "Clark W. Griswold" Saturday Online League #21: Win now 4-3 (6th overall)

FPC Satellitte Sunday 09.05.7: WIN, 4-3 for year (4th overall)

FPC Satellite Tuesday 09.07.10h: Loss, 4-3 (10th overall)

Local League: WIN, 5-2

Overall 5-2 (4-1 in H2H leagues). For the season, 30-19

Ask the Expert: Would you rather have a go-to, featured guy on a lesser offense, or more of a committee RB or No. 2 WR type on a high-powered offense?

Philosophical question: Would you rather have a go-to, featured guy on a lesser offense, or more of a committee back or No. 2 WR type on a high-powered offense?

It depends on the league format. In H2H leagues I will take the go-to, featured guy on a lesser offense since there is no doubt he will get the touches. In the NFL it is all about skill and opportunity. The go-to player will always get his chances during the game. It might be carries to run out the clock or garbage catches against a prevent defense when his team is well behind. But those opportunities go to the featured player. A player in a running back by committee (RBBC) approach or the #2 WR will be less consistent. They may score the same as a go-to guy from a lesser team over the year, but it will be filled with goose eggs and a few high scoring games. Give me a consistent FF player in a H2H league. On the other hand in a total points or draft masters league, the high risk/high reward player takes on a bigger role on my cheat sheet.
