There are definitely some players that have been consistently good all season and most of them have landed on the HOT list. Unfortunately, there are some players that have underperformed through the first five weeks of the season and regrettably, they have made the NOT HOT list.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy Dave B\u2019s Week 6 Hot and Not list and by all means, leave a comment to let me know what you think!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Rivers \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Rivers is a man on a mission indeed. He has tossed at least two touchdowns in each of his five games so far this season. Rivers has passed for over 431 yards in two of his last three games and has St. Louis, New England and Tennessee on the schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong>Orton\u2019s worst game of the season came in Week 1 when all he did was pass for 295 yards. 314 yards and two touchdowns against the Ravens superb defense make Orton one of the HOTTEST QBs in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tony Romo \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong> The Cowboys are 1-3 but it is not Tony Romo\u2019s fault. Sure he\u2019s throwing interceptions but there is no denying that 1064 yards passing, and six touchdowns in three games is HOT.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Rashard Mendenhall \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong>Mendenhall has averaged 102.8 yards per game and has scored four touchdowns \u2013 all without a quality quarterback calling the plays. The return of Ben Roethlisberger should open up some lanes and give Mendenhall even more room to run. If you think he was HOT before the bye, watch what he does the rest of the season.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> Johnson is on the list not so much for what he has done already (although he has 2 \u2013 125+ yard and two touchdown games in his past 3), but for his matchups going forward. He is going to rip Jacksonville apart on Monday night and then plays a vulnerable Philadelphia defense the week after.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maurice Jones-Drew \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong> MJD may not be putting up monster numbers but his consistency and the fact that he is ramping up his play makes him HOT. He is running the ball effectively given the chance and he\u2019s adding receiving yards to his total.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Hakeem Nicks \u2013New York Giants \u2013 <\/strong>Nicks has been over 100 yards receiving in each of his past two games and is developing into an elite talent. Detroit and Dallas are on tap so expect the HOT numbers to continue.  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oddsmaker.com\/refer.php?ID=capperspicks\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 1px; border: 3px solid #ffffff;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.referincome.com\/graphics\/banners\/om\/nfl_5million_fantasy_300x250.gif\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Lloyd \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> Lloyd has had only one game less than 100 yards receiving this season (Week 2 against Seattle). He has 16 catches, 250 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games. The Jets are up next but they could be without Derrelle Revis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Roy Williams \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong>its true \u2013 Williams makes the HOT list. He has 11 catches, 204 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. As long as Tony Romo looks his way, he\u2019ll stay HOT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Terrell Owens \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> 17 catches, 324 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games \u2013 nuff said!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Not Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Matt Schaub \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong>Schaub was supposed to be a Stud this season but has failed to throw for more than 200 yards in three of five games this season. Last week he failed to throw a touchdown and registered one interception in the Houston loss. Schaub appears to be captain of a sinking ship \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew Brees \u2013\u00a0New Orleans Saints \u2013<\/strong> This may be a bit harsh but Brees doesn\u2019t look like the same QB. He only tossed one touchdown against Carolina and this three interceptions cost the Saints a win against Arizona last week. He\u2019s not cold, but he\u2019s certainly NOT HOT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Joe Flacco \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013<\/strong> Flacco had one good game this season, a three touchdown game against Cleveland. In the other four games he is averaging 213 yards, and has just two touchdowns and six interceptions in those games \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>DeAngelo Williams \u2013\u00a0Carolina Panthers \u2013 <\/strong> Williams doesn\u2019t have one 100 yard rushing game this season and has only one touchdown so far. Teams are playing to stop the Carolina run and Williams is suffering for it. As long as there is no passing threat in Carolina, Williams will remain NOT HOT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Denver RBs \u2013 <\/strong>Laurence Maroney and Correll Buckhalter combined for eight whole yards rushing in Week 4 and followed that up with 39 combined yards in Week 5. Brutal!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Beanie Wells \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013<\/strong> Wells has been an absolute dud this season. In his last two games, he has totalled a whopping 54 yards \u2013 hardly acceptable for a feature back don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Greg Jennings \u2013\u00a0Green Bay Packers \u2013 <\/strong> Greg Jennings is moody! He has every reason to be. In his last four games he hasn\u2019t eclipsed 36 yards receiving! He is averaging barely over two catches per game during that span. He\u2019s is certainly NOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chad Ochocinco \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong>Since Week 1 Ocho has taken a back seat to Terrell Owens. He has averaged 3.5 catches and under 49 yards receiving in those games. He also hasn\u2019t hit pay dirt since week 1.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lance Moore \u2013\u00a0New Orleans Saints \u2013<\/strong> Remember Moore\u2019s 149 yard, two touchdown effort in Week 3? Since then he has six catches for 45 yards in two games combined. I hope that you are not depending on him for your Fantasy squad!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for Internet Fantasy Predictions then look no further than our Dave B our fantasy expert weighing in on weekly fantasy football topics for Week 6 action&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":24327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[299,1540,17338,17335,2309,2310,1537,1536,1535,17337,17336,2657,3058],"class_list":["post-27793","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy-football","tag-cheatsheets","tag-fantasy-football-news","tag-fantasy-player-updates","tag-hot-and-not","tag-hot-fantasy-players","tag-not-so-hot-fantasy-players","tag-projections","tag-start-bench-list","tag-studs-and-duds","tag-top-cold-players","tag-top-hot-players","tag-week-6","tag-week-6-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27793"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27793\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28214,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27793\/revisions\/28214"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24327"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
