Enjoy the Week 5 Hot and Not list and by all means, leave a comment to let me know what you think!<\/p>\n

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

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

Peyton Manning \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> Manning continues to be on fire despite his team\u2019s floundering. Another 352 yards passing in Week 4 keeps him on the HOT list.<\/p>\n

Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong>Orton has defied all odds this year and followed up a 476 yard Week 3 effort with 341 yards and two touchdowns in Week 4 \u2013 he\u2019s HOT!<\/p>\n

Philip Rivers \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Rivers completed 75% of his passes in Week 4 and threw two more touchdowns. He has at least two touchdowns in every game this season. With Antonio Gates playing the way he is, expect Rivers to remain HOT!<\/p>\n

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

Arian Foster \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong> Foster leads the NFL in rushing through the first four weeks of the season and is a threat to catch the ball too. He has at least 100 combined yards in all four games this season. He\u2019s HOT!<\/p>\n

LaDainian Tomlinson \u2013\u00a0NY Jets \u2013 <\/strong>LT has emerged and surpassed Shonne Greene on the Jets depth charts. He is running like a young man and is racking up yards rushing and receiving. Minnesota may present a few problems this week but still there is no denying that Tomlinson is HOT.<\/p>\n

Peyton Hillis \u2013\u00a0Cleveland Browns \u2013 <\/strong> Hillis has scored in every game this season and is receiving at least 20 touches per game for Cleveland. If you drafted him \u2013 congratulations \u2013 he\u2019s HOT.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention: <\/strong>Rashard Mendenhall \u2013 Pittsburgh Steelers<\/p>\n

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

Antonio Gates \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Gates is fifth in the NFL in receiving yards and has six touchdowns on the season. He is by far the most reliable receiver for an HOT Philip Rivers.<\/p>\n

Reggie Wayne \u2013\u00a0Indianapolis Colts \u2013 <\/strong> Wayne caught 15 passes in Week 4 \u2013 15!!! With the lack of a serious running game in Indianapolis and with word of Austin Collie\u2019s leg injury, Wayne will be the man in Indianapolis once again.<\/p>\n

Brandon Lloyd \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> Lloyd has three 100 yard games so far this season and caught 11 balls for 115 yards in Week 5. Lloyd should remain HOT as long as Kyle Orton continues his strong early season play.<\/p>\n

Honourable Mention:<\/strong> Hakeem Nicks -New York Giants, Eddie Royal \u2013 Denver Broncos \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

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

Alex Smith \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013 <\/strong>One of the bigger disappointments so far this season, Smith has thrown just three touchdowns and seven interceptions. Yet another offensive coordinator is leading the 49ers offense this week against a good Philadelphia defense.<\/p>\n

Matt Hasselbeck \u2013\u00a0Seattle Seahawks \u2013 <\/strong> 233 yards is his highest output this season. In the last two weeks, Hasselbeck has thrown only one touchdown and has two interceptions.<\/p>\n

Derek Anderson \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong>Anderson has been a bust and now is likely to surrender his starting job to Max Hall. Three touchdowns and five interceptions on the year make Anderson NOT HOT.<\/p>\n

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

Brandon Jacobs \u2013\u00a0New York Giants \u2013 <\/strong>Ahmad Bradshaw is clearly the man in New York. Jacobs fumbling, inconsistency and attitude issues have made him a clear cut back up. Unfortunately, Jacobs is NOT HOT. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Brandon Jackson \u2013\u00a0Green Bay Packers \u2013 <\/strong> Jackson has gained just 74 yards in the three games since Ryan Grant\u2019s injury. John Kuhn (Who????) is actually outgaining Jackson over that span.<\/p>\n

Clinton Portis \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong>Clinton Portis is injured \u2013 surprise!!! With the emergence of Ryan Torain in the Redskins backfield, Portis is likely to see a significantly diminished role \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n

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

Steve Smith \u2013\u00a0Carolina Panthers \u2013 <\/strong> Smith had just 33 combined yards in two games prior to his injury. A high ankle sprain and the poor play of his quarterbacks make Smith one of the least HOT receivers in the game.<\/p>\n

Mike Sims-Walker \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>The Jags scored 31 points in Week 4 and Sims-Walker was shut out. That marks the second time this season that Mikey has gone catchless!<\/p>\n

Steve Smith \u2013\u00a0New York Giants \u2013 <\/strong>Not a good week to be named Steve Smith! Eli Manning appears to be focused on other toys and has largely gone away from Smith. Other than a Week 3 – 103 yard effort, Smith has yet to gain over 43 yards this season.<\/p>\n
