HOT AND NOT WEEK 3<\/h2>\n

Hot and Not – Week 3<\/strong><\/p>\n

Week 3 of the NFL season is upon us and the first two weeks have given us a glimpse into what we can expect from the Fantasy players that we drafted. Some have overachieved and some have totally underwhelmed.<\/p>\n

Below is Dave B\u2019s Week 3 version of Hot and Not. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Peyton Manning \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> Manning has thrown for three touchdowns in each of the first two games and 688 yards total. He\u2019s got a Denver team that may be without Champ Bailey on Sunday and then Jacksonville up next.<\/p>\n

Jay Cutler \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> Cutler has been putting the ball in the air a lot and hasn\u2019t been throwing interceptions! He\u2019s got five touchdowns so far and 649 yards passing. Shootouts with Green Bay and the Giants are on the schedule. He should remain HOT under mike Martz\u2019s system.<\/p>\n

Michel Vick \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013<\/strong> Surprised? Me too! Vick was named starter this week even though Kolb is healthy. Obviously, Coach Andy Reid and some of the players feel that Vick gives them the best chance to win. He\u2019s got Jacksonville and a Washington team that Matt Schaub passed for nearly 500 yards on coming up. <\/strong><\/p>\n

RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Adrian Peterson \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong> He\u2019s about the only thing going right in the Minnesota offense. He\u2019s catching the ball more than ever and now he doesn\u2019t have Chester Taylor to take his place on third down. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Darren McFadden \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong> I don\u2019t know how long it will last but there is no denying that McFadden is HOT. 30 carries for 145 last week after a great Week 1 should keep him as the starter in Oakland.<\/p>\n

Frank Gore \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013<\/strong> Frank had a down week against Seattle but he was a beast against New Orleans. He is a dual threat back that has to be a huge part of his team\u2019s offense. The Niners will feed him often and with KC and Atlanta coming up, Gore should be a monster. <\/strong><\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Miles Austin \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong> He\u2019s playing in the second ranked passing offense on a team that has NO running game to speak of. Austin has averaged 10 catches and 144 yards so far this season.<\/p>\n

Roddy White \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013 <\/strong>20 receptions so far this year and a staggering 35 targets! With that many looks, White has to be considered HOT.<\/p>\n

Dallas Clark \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong>Clark has put up incredible numbers so far – 16 catches, 163 yards and two touchdowns in two games. I can\u2019t see his production slowing down any time soon.<\/p>\n

Not Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Brett Favre \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong> Favre has one touchdown and four interceptions so far this season. It may be the lack of receiving threats, it may be the rust or it may be the age but Favre certainly is NOT HOT.<\/p>\n

Chad Henne \u2013\u00a0Miami Dolphins \u2013 <\/strong> Hard to believe that a quarterback with a 2-0 record can be NOT HOT. Henne only has one touchdown so far this season and is averaging 148 yards passing.<\/p>\n

Joe Flacco \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013<\/strong> Flacco has only tossed one touchdown <\/strong>and has thrown five interceptions. Things may get better against Cleveland this week, but Pittsburgh is on deck.<\/p>\n

RBs <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Cowboys RBs \u2013 <\/strong>Ugh! The Cowboys trio of Barber, Jones and Choice combined for 36 yards rushing last week and now own the 28th<\/sup> ranked rushing offense in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>Has anyone seen MJD? Maurice has yet to visit the end zone this season \u2013 shockingly NOT HOT.<\/p>\n

Shonne Greene \u2013\u00a0NY Jets \u2013 <\/strong>Greene has just 70 yards total rushing in two games. LaDainian Tomlinson looks like the better back in New York and threatens to be this year\u2019s Thomas Jones. He will likely get the bulk of the carries going forward.<\/p>\n

WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Braylon Edwards \u2013\u00a0NY Jets \u2013 <\/strong>What a boob! Blowing two times the legal limit during the season is inexcusable. I hated Edwards before \u2013 I hate him even more now.<\/p>\n

Steve Smith \u2013\u00a0NY Giants \u2013 <\/strong>Steve Smith has yet to get it going this season. Last season, he was Eli\u2019s go-to-guy. This season, he\u2019s just another average possession receiver.<\/p>\n

Lee Evans \u2013\u00a0Buffalo Bills \u2013 <\/strong>He was shut out last week and wasn\u2019t a factor at all in Week 1. For a #1 receiver, he\u2019s NOT HOT.<\/p>\n
