This season the Fantasy Doctor will answer a few of our readers' fantasy questions on an almost daily basis, Monday through Friday. Send your questions to the Doc at the address above.

Dear Doc,
Last year Ben Roethlisberger had a career year in touchdown passes and set a single-season Steelers record. A high percentage of his touchdown passes came in the red zone. The Steelers struggled running the ball in the red zone without the help of a power back so Ben was forced to throw the ball a lot.  Do you think the addition of Rashard Mendenhall will affect the number of touchdown passes Big Ben will throw, or do you see him throwing for more yards and more touchdowns than last year because of the additions of Mendenhall and Limas Sweed? Thanks.

I absolutely think the presence of Rashard Mendenhall in the Steelers' backfield will affect Ben Roethlisberger's TD total. Last season Willie Parker had all kinds of trouble crossing the goal line, forcing the team to throw a lot from in close. This resulted in a ton of TD passes for Big Ben (a career-high 32). However, Pittsburgh drafted Mendenhall with the idea that he could be the power back that Parker isn't, meaning he'd be able to stuff the ball in from inside the five-yard line. If Mendenhall converts these scoring opportunities, then Roethlisberger won't need to throw as much in the red zone, resulting in fewer TD passes in '08.

Greetings,
Short and sweet. One point per reception, 6 points for all TDs, 8-team league. I can keep 2 and I have narrowed things down to 3 choices:

Joseph Addai
Reggie Wayne
Randy Moss

Thanks!

While cutting Reggie Wayne is never easy, I think you have to, in this scenario. Obviously Randy Moss is better than Wayne head-to-head, so it comes down to picking between the two Colts. If you're already keeping Moss, it makes more sense to then hold on to a RB so you have some team balance. And since Joseph Addai is certainly no slouch, I think he's the logical choice for your other keeper. Moss and Addai give you a solid one-two punch, so you should be able to get over losing Wayne.
