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: Who has changed your opinion (for good or ill) the most this postseason?

TOM KESSENICH

Colston Loveland will enter 2026 as my TE2 behind Trey McBride. I think he's been unleashed by Ben Johnson and the playoffs showed him to be a true force moving forward in the Bears' offense. He finished the last four games with double-digit targets in all four games, topped 55 yards in all of those games and had 5 receptions or more three times. With Caleb Williams improving and Johnson calling plays and scheming him open, I expect Loveland to continue to improve and move into the elite TE ranks next season.

Kessenich is the Director of High Stakes Contests for SportsHub Games. He runs the NFFC, NFBC and NFBKC and is a fantasy sports Hall of Fame inductee.

SAM HENDRICKS

Puka Nacua. I have always known he was good, but I honestly think he might be the top wide receiver in the league. I always seem to pick someone else and have him around WR 4 or 5 but I really do think he warrants WR1 consideration. His aggressive play style still scares me and I think he will miss some time every season because of that, but he is so good!

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 30-year fantasy football veteran who participated 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.

SCOTT SACHS

I watched every game C.J. Stroud played at Ohio State. He was a gamer, had some monster games when the pressure was on, and the Buckeyes were very successful with him 2021-2022. He picked up where he left off in his rookie campaign for Houston, and had a Pro Bowl season in 2023. Where the heck was that guy the last 2 playoff games this season? Loss of composure, horrible decision-making, and became a turnover nightmare. Like a Kicker with the yips, Stroud struggled mightily, and arguably should have been benched in the 2nd half at New England. Can he recover his confidence and be the franchise QB for Houston going forward? Huge decision for the Texans to either give him the bag, or give him the boot.

With 2 perfect seasons and multiple league championships to his credit, Sachs runs Perfect Season Fantasy Football, featuring LIVE Talk & Text Advice. He is a 3-time winner of the Fantasy Index Experts Auction League, as well as a previous winner of the Fantasy Index Experts Poll. Follow on X: https://x.com/ffbcoach

HOWARD BENDER

Caleb Williams -- he truly is a pressure-driven QB and while you don't always want to rely on a comeback each week, he definitely seems to be someone you want with the ball in his hands when the game is on the line.

JASON WOOD

I'm loathe to overreact to small sample sizes, so in some ways I bristle at the question. History overweights playoff moments and outcomes far more than objective analysis of an athlete's career should allow. But since you asked, I think C.J Stroud is the playoff's biggest fantasy loser, particularly in dynasty circles. After an exceptionally promising rookie debut, the Texans have been incapable of getting Stroud to replicate that output, much less build on it. He's now two offensive coordinators in and has regressed. And we saw him completely fall apart against high-level defensive pressure.

SCOTT PIANOWSKI

I'm disappointed the Broncos didn't lean into RJ Harvey more. Obviously Sean Payton has always been committee driven, but Harvey didn't even get to 10 carries. Harvey figures to be a fantasy headache again in 2026.

On the plus side, Colston Loveland looked unstoppable the last few months and through the playoffs. I can't wait to draft him next year, even with a buzzy price attached. I'm also impressed at how Rhamondre Stevenson has taken over in New England.

Pianowski has been with Yahoo Sports since 2008, covering a variety of sports. On the rare occasions when the computer is turned off, he enjoys word games, poker, music, film, game theory, and a variety of condiments. He lives in suburban Detroit.

ANDY RICHARDSON

For me it's Caleb Williams. I knew he was talented, but when a guy makes actual jaw-dropping plays in back to back weeks to either help win games or at least force overtime against a better all-around team -- which would have probably been a win if his wide receiver didn't opt not to run a route for some reason -- you notice. Apart from Williams' significant arm talent, he'll run at times, and he's playing on a team with a leaky defense, talented offense overseen by one of the league's better minds, and in a division that seems to foster some higher-scoring clashes and probably will in the near future, too. I expect I'll have Williams on a team or two next year, which wasn't the case this season.
