ASK THE EXPERTS appears weekly from training camp to Super Bowl with answers to a new question being posted Thursday morning. How the guest experts responded when we asked them: Who is the Thanksgiving turkey of the 2013 season?

MICHAEL NAZAREK

Hands down the Turkey for the 2013 season has to be Colts RB Trent Richardson. It's been quite a while since I've seen so much talent produce so little, whether he was a Brown or a Colt. He's the most puzzling mystery of the decade thus far!

SAM HENDRICKS

Darren McFadden -7 games played out of 11, 437 combined yards, 13 receptions and 4 TDs. He is averaging just over 10 points per game played this year. Boom and bust really do describe him. Having named and shamed him, he will now proceed to play on Thanksgiving and excel the rest of the year. Go figure. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

DAVID DOREY

Hands down the Atlanta Falcons who were to challenge for the Super Bowl and now cannot even win a game. The addition of Steven Jackson was to reignite the rushing attack that has done nothing. Julio Jones started the year well but then left. Roddy White has been a flop even worse than Tony Gonzalez. It has been a team-wide implosion across the board and all fantasy players from there have disappointed.

ALAN SATTERLEE

Boy, it's hard to imagine the answer to this question isn't unanimous: Trent Richardson (although I guess you can make a case for Ray Rice, or the Texans if you take the team route). T-Rich has been absolutely abysmal. It's hard to believe he was an exciting 1st-round fantasy grab just three months ago. With Norv Turner coming to town, I know I bought into the idea that he could do for T-Rich what he's done with other RBs in his career and turn them into 350+ touch workhorse fantasy stars. Sure, T-Rich had a tough rookie season averaging just 3.6 YPC but the team was pretty bad and he still had 303 touches. Then, the sudden (and shocking) trade to Indianapolis sounded like fantasy gold. Gobble gobble. Talk about a major letdown - is there even a comparable in recent memory? It looks as if it is the Browns who fleeced the Colts by nabbing their 1st round round pick for Richardson. T-Rich is averaging just 2.93 YPC this year - which includes dropping from 3.4 in two games with Cleveland to 2.8 in now 9 games with the Colts. It feels like Indianapolis would have been better off trading for Mark Ingram.

It has to be Doug Martin. While I am not a fan of bagging on an injured player, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year running back was putrid when he was on the field. Most fantasy football drafts witnessed him go inside of the top five, usually the top three. I felt that was ridiculous at the time and warned against it for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately for far too many owners, Martin's 2013 season just never took flight. As an extremely close second, Baltimore Ravens RB Ray Rice is the stuffing.

SCOTT SACHS

The biggest Thanksgiving Turkey player is easily Trent "Turk" Richardson. Hard to pick team as there are so many to choose from, but the Falcons should change their name to Turkeys this year. Coach of the TB Turkeys, Greg Schiano, gets my vote.

BOB HENRY

As a Michigander and metro Detroiter, I can easily say Brady Hoke. Oh wait, you want one from the NFL. Easy, just head East on I-94 to Ford Field. Fresh off two embarrassing losses, I'm looking at you Jim Schwartz. Admittedly, I've been a proponent for Schwartz, but the continued lack of maturity and discipline from his teams combined with hand wringing, throw something at the television losses at Pittsburgh and now at home against Tampa Bay are a sign that perhaps the Lions have peaked under his leadership. The Lions have enough talent to compete, make the playoffs, possibly win the division and (dare I say) even win a playoff game for the second time in my lifetime (thank you Erik Kramer). Unfortunately, none of that will happen until the Lions learn to play with greater mental acuity and that starts with the head coach. Being aggressive is good, but faking a field goal up 4 points in the fourth quarter on the road is like Marty Morninwheg taking the wind in overtime instead of the football. Schwartz is a smart man and a good football coach, but he seems to have a tragic flaw when it comes to aggressiveness, focus and execution - and it shows up repeatedly on the field through his players misgivings. The latest Lion loss at home is just as troublesome. Coaches don't commit turnovers, though, so on Thanksgiving the NFL Norris division could very well be decided by whether Aaron Rodgers is able to play, or better yet, if Schwartz and Mathew Stafford can lead the Lions to a victory and protect their home field and any hopes they have for securing a divisional title. Putting aside the Lions, the biggest disappointment has to be the Houston Texans. Thought to be Super Bowl contenders, they're closer to the first pick in the draft than playing games in January.

JAKE CIELY

Is there any other answer besides Trent Richardson? The man was a consensus first rounder with expectations high, as the new offense and regime only meant a higher ceiling in 2013. No player has disappointed owners more, as Richardson is sitting on waivers in a good percentage of leagues. Having a first round running back go from Top 10 expectations to waiver fodder is the ultimate fantasy turkey. And don't forget he's a real life NFL turkey two, as this now (technically) two-time first rounder (bet Indy wishes they had that pick back now) is handling backup duties to Donald Brown. I could have tried to pick someone else or made a case elsewhere, but it's truly a race for second helpings (place) after TRich.

MICAH JAMES

While Trent Richardson is my own personal Thanksgiving turkey, I'm giving TRich a bit of a break in the big picture because I think switching teams after a handful of games hampered him in 2013. My official answer, then, is C.J. Spiller. For one of the most-hyped running backs during draft season, Spiller hasn't produced much of anything for his owners this season. He was nicked up for a couple of weeks (what running back isn't?) but even so - one touchdown and 615 total yards aren't the numbers you want to see from your early first-round pick. Don't eat your turkey leg too quickly C.J., we'd hate to see you puke. :)

ANDY RICHARDSON

There are so many candidates I have a difficult time picking just one. I'll eliminate the injured players (David Wilson, Doug Martin), and I suppose cut Trent Richardson some slack -- not his fault he was traded to a new offense. I really want to name Montee Ball, because I liked him a lot in the preseason and also because his fumble against the Patriots factored heavily into my loss by less than a point last week. (Same-game turkey: Stevan Ridley.) For me, though, it's the Eli Manning-Hakeem Nicks combo, who have simply done nothing for almost the entire season, even with favorable matchups, even when the team has won a game or two. Every time I've made the mistake of starting either, they've let me down. Worst is the one league where I actually have a pretty strong team, but missed the playoffs due to my weekly quarterback tandem of Colin Kaepernick and Eli -- ouch.
