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 slow starter will turn things around the rest of the way?

SCOTT PIANOWSKI

Game flow hasn't worked out for Alex Collins through two weeks, and the Ravens also fumble shamed him (that is, benched him) briefly in Week 1. He's still the most talented back on the roster, by far, and the line looks credible. Maybe this isn't a huge compliment given the messy running back board these days, but Collins still looks like the RB2 he was projected to be, preseason. It's a good time to quietly explore a trade for Collins.

Pianowski has been playing fantasy football for 20 years and writing about it for 17. He joined Yahoo! Sports in 2008 and has been blogging 24/7 on RotoArcade.com ever since.

JUSTIN ELEFF

To my eyes James Conner is no LeVeon Bell, so if we use a loose definition of "rest of the way" Bell almost has to be the pick. He will literally go from zero to sixty (percent of what you drafted) in a split instant. And the rest of the list is all running backs, too: Kareem Hunt should be working with lots of open space as teams sell out to counter the Patrick Mahomes Death Star passing game, and Dalvin Cook is a dead setup to improve immediately on his 3 yards per carry and 39 yards per game. He's healthy (but for a cramp), he looks way better than his numbers, and four of his next seven opponents are the Bills, Cardinals, Jets and Lions, with only the Jets on the road. Gimme.

IAN ALLAN

I’m a Peyton Barber fan. I liked the way he ran in the preseason. He runs hard and gets what’s there — he doesn’t take negative runs. He hasn’t really gotten in on the Tampa Bay party yet, but I expect he’ll be better going forward. With all of those pass catchers putting defenses on their heels, I think he’ll have some success banging out yards. And the way they’re moving the ball, I think he’ll be finding the end zone.

DAVID DOREY

Deshaun Watson is currently the No. 18 quarterback, but started his season on the road at the Patriots and Titans. He’s still coming back from his knee injury but started connecting with DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller last week. The schedule calms down and Watson gets back into his groove.

If I had to pick one player, Ryan Fitzpatrick will really pick it up at some point (I kid, so much for last week’s come-back-to-earth nominee though let’s see over the long haul). It’s a deeper call, but I continue to believe that D.J. Moore is going to make noise at some point (he’s simply too talented for the Panthers not to get him on the field). After his Week 1 shutout, Rotoworld recaps said he “is not a must-hold in redraft leagues” and I couldn’t disagree more. One week later and on his first NFL target we saw what Moore could do on a nifty 51-yard touchdown. I also think the New England Patriot running backs Rex Burkhead and Sony Michel are both buy-low targets. New England’s running backs will have better days and adding Josh Gordon should help the backs breathe a little on the line. New England has a juicy string of match-ups coming up (at Detroit, then three straight home games against Miami, Indianapolis and Kansas City). I’ll add one more, David Njoku has started off slow (TE26 on the season) but he is due for a score and will have big weeks (especially when the Browns eventually turn to Baker Mayfield).

MATT PRICE

Kerryon Johnson. Eventually the Lions will realize he is their best all-around back and allows them to be more creative with their offense. When Blount and Riddick are on the field the offense is predictable. Johnson can do it all and will allow the Lions offense to keep defenses guessing.

ANDY RICHARDSON

Maybe I'm being stubborn, but I'm not giving up on Jamaal Williams. Two dud games, and yes Aaron Jones is returning this week. But Williams' games came against what I believe are two of the four best defenses in the NFL. This week he faces a Washington defense that ranked last in run defense a year ago. There's risk involved, but I'm putting him in my lineup and expecting he'll have a productive game -- rushing yards, catches, and a touchdown.
