ASK THE EXPERTS appears weekly from training camp through the Super Bowl with answers to a new question being posted Thursday morning. How the guest experts responded when we asked them: Which Week 1 dud will turn things around the rest of the way?

SAM HENDRICKS

Aaron Rodgers. Why was his performance so poor? Perhaps not enough preseason work. Perhaps too much Zen meditation. Or maybe the Saints came to play. Why will he turn things around? They go to Lambeau Field on Monday Night versus Detroit. Questions none. And............let me leave you with this. "R-E-L-A-X." .............Green Bay went 11-2 after that last year.

Hendricks is the author of Fantasy Football Guidebook, Fantasy Football Tips and Fantasy Football Basics, all available at ExtraPointPress.com, at all major bookstores, and at Amazon and BN.com. He is a 25-year fantasy football veteran who participates in the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC) and finished 7th and 16th overall in the 2008 and 2009 Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC). He won the Fantasy Index Open in 2013 and 2018.

DAVID DOREY

Ezekiel Elliott had a down 2020 (though was still the No. 9 fantasy running back) and then only rushed for 33 yards on 11 carries and caught just two passes for six yards. But he was playing in Tampa Bay at the worst venue for rushing from last year. And the Cowboys were in "catch up mode" for much of the game. This week he'll visit the Chargers that just gave up 90 yards on 20 rushes to Antonio Gibson. And then he has a three-game stretch of home games versus the Eagles, Panthers, and Giants. He'll be fine.

Dorey co-founded The Huddle.com in 1997. He's ranked every player and projected every game for the last 23 years and is the author of Fantasy Football: The Next Level. David has appeared on numerous radio, television, newspaper and magazines over the last two decades.

MICHAEL NAZAREK

The is an easy one... The triplets of Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and Davante Adams in Green Bay. The Packers usually struggle on the road against the Saints, and Sunday was no different. If you have a panicked Rodgers, Jones, or Adams owner in your league, NOW is the time to pounce and buy low. They will rebound immediately, and it could win your fantasy season to get them NOW.

IAN ALLAN

I’m not giving up on Marquez Callaway. I think he’ll be the top wide receiver in New Orleans (at least until Michael Thomas returns), and they’ll get him going as they open up the offense more.

Allan co-founded Fantasy Football Index in 1987. He and fellow journalism student Bruce Taylor launched the first newsstand fantasy football magazine as a class project at the University of Washington. For more than three decades, Allan has written and edited most of the content published in the magazines, newsletters and at www.fantasyindex.com. An exhaustive researcher, he may be the only person in the country who has watched at least some of every preseason football game played since the early 1990s. Allan is a member of the FSTA Fantasy Sports Hall of Fame and the Fantasy Sports Writers Association Hall of Fame.

SCOTT SACHS

Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are playing Detroit in a must-win situation. No excuse for wilting in the Florida heat in Week 1, so this week against the Pack's personal punching bag for the last 10 years, the Lions, is a chance to get well and even things up to 1-1. The NFC North is arguably the weakest division right now, so there can be zero tolerance for any more of Green Bay's complacency going forward.

ANDY RICHARDSON

If you just glance at the box score you might think that Melvin Gordon was great and Javonte Williams wasn't in the win over the Giants. Full credit to Gordon for his 70-yard breakaway, but watching the entire game it was an even committee in which it looked, to me, like the team wanted Williams to seize the lead back role. There were no holes all game against a good Giants run defense, and then Gordon busted a run right after the Giants were stopped on fourth down in Denver's red zone -- the moment when fans at the game started heading for the exits, knowing it was all over. I think Denver will have a lot more success running it against Jacksonville this week, and Javonte will be the main beneficiary. Grab him if he was dropped by someone thinking Gordon is the guy.

Richardson has been a contributing writer and editor to the Fantasy Football Index magazine and www.fantasyindex.com since 2002. His responsibilities include team defense and IDP projections and various site features, and he has run the magazine's annual experts draft and auction leagues since their inception.
