Ask the Expert Question: Which new coaching hire will have the biggest impact (positive/negative) on his team's fantasy fortunes? Why?

Which new coaching hire will have the biggest impact (positive/negative) on his team's fantasy fortunes? Why?

Lets look at our candidates: Hue Jackson-CLE, Dirk Koetter-TB, Chip Kelly-SF, Adam Gase-MIA, Ben McAdoo-NYG, Doug Pederson-PHI and Mike Mularkey-TEN. The winner will be Hue Jackson. I have my doubts that the 50 year old can turn around the Browns and give them a winning season (15 of last 17 have been losing), but he can turn their fantasy performance around. They can't get any worse right? He has the experience and no real expectations from Browns fans so the pressure should be minimal. First he has to get a QB and revamp the offense then comes getting the defense in order. Ok can I rethink my pick?




ASK THE EXPERTS appears weekly at http://www.fantasyindex.com/ with answers to a new question posted Thursday morning.

Sam Hendricks is the author of Fantasy Football Guidebook, Fantasy Football Tips and Fantasy Football Basics , all available at http://www.ExtraPointPress.com/, at all major bookstores, and at http://www.amazon.com/ and www.BN.com. He is a 25+ year fantasy football veteran who regularly participates in the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC), Fantasy Football World Championship (FFWC) and finished 7th and 16th overall (out of 228 top players) in the 2008 and 2009 Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC). He won the Fantasy Index Open in 2013. In 2015 he won his Pros vs Joes Challenge division and finished 5th overall.

2nd Place Finish in Fantasy Index Experts Rankings

Great finish to the Fantasy Index Experts Rankings-2nd place overall. 
I finished in the top 10 of all but the RB categories.
Congratulations to Cory Bonini with his 1st place finish. Cory enjoyed top finishes in QB and RB to surpass me for the win!

The top 11 finishers win spots in the Mock Draft competition in the 2016 edition of Fantasy Football Index magazine. As the winner of this poll, Bonini gets his choice of draft position in that league.

There were reader qualifiers in this poll (the top two finishers in last year’s Fantasy Index Open) but they didn’t finish in the top 11. Pete Owers finished in 15th place, and Todd Voorhees finished in 19th.

3rd Place Finish in Fantasy Football Index Experts Rankings

A great way to finish the 2015 Fantasy Index Magazine Experts Rankings with a 3rd place finish in the QB Rankings. 
That gives me a Top 10 finish in every position except RBs where I came in 12th. 

Overall I finished 2nd just losing to Cory Bonini as he finished in 1st place in both the RB and QB categories to pass me for the win!
