Now is time to look at your roster and determine who you can depend on and who you can\u2019t. Below is a list of some HOT players and some NOT HOT players in the NFL.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy this week\u2019s HOT and NOT list and be sure to leave a comment!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Drew Brees \u2013\u00a0New Orleans Saints \u2013 <\/strong> Brees has regained the form that was sadly lacking for a few games. He has averaged 271 yards passing and 2 \u00bd touchdowns in his last two games and now has the privilege of playing the Cleveland Browns. Cha-Ching!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kevin Kolb \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> It is going to be really hard for the Eagles to go back to Michael Vick especially since they have gained back a ton of confidence in Kolb. He passed for 326 yards last week and is now averaging almost 290 yards and 2 touchdowns since retaking the starting job. Tennessee\u2019s weak pass defense is on the menu this week!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Roethlisberger \u2013 Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong>Ben is back and although his numbers were not extraordinary last week, his team won huge and his arm wasn\u2019t needed. Ben is fresh, confident and ready to conquer the league. Three touchdowns in his first game this season makes him HOT already!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Steven Jackson \u2013\u00a0St. Louis Rams \u2013 <\/strong> Jackson has rumbled for over 100 yards two weeks in a row and he\u2019s catching the ball out of the backfield as well. Sam Bradford has gone cold, but Jackson remains HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ahmad Bradshaw \u2013\u00a0New York Giants \u2013 <\/strong> Bradshaw had a minor hiccup against Houston but in the two games sandwiched around the Texans tilt, Ahmad has averaged 131 yards rushing. He is a threat to catch the ball too, making him even HOTTER!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong>Johnson has rumbled for 142 yards and three touchdowns in his last two games. Add in the occasional catch out of the backfield and CJ2 is one of the HOTTER RBs in the NFL. Philadelphia and San Diego are on tap so the goodness should 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><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Calvin Johnson \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> Megatron has battled injury but has caught four touchdowns in the last three weeks. He has at least four grabs in every game this year and has only been less than 50 yards one time. He\u2019s as HOT as they come.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Marshall \u2013\u00a0Miami Dolphins \u2013 <\/strong> Marshall had an off game a couple of weeks ago against New England but in the two sandwiched around that game, he has 20 catches for 293 yards! Insane!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Andre Johnson \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013 <\/strong> Sprained ankle? What sprained ankle? Johnson has caught 13 balls for 233 yards and one touchdown in his last two games. He has a bye this week followed by a guaranteed shootout against Indianapolis on the schedule.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeremy Maclin \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong>Maclin had 13 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns in the past two games. With DeSean Jackson likely out for an extended period, his numbers should stay HOT.<\/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>Brett Favre \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong> If you are depending on Favre for your Fantasy squad, I am truly sorry. He is NOT HOT as they come &#8211; 118 yards passing was enough for the Vikings to win but not good enough to avoid the NOT HOT list.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jay Cutler \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> I know that it is not all Jay\u2019s fault. His offensive line is absolutely horrid. In the last 2 \u00bd games that Cutler has played, he has thrown a measly one touchdown!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Sanchez \u2013\u00a0New York Jets \u2013 <\/strong>He was a solid Waiver Wire pick up after Week 3 but since then Sanchez is NOT HOT. He has not passed for 200 yards in his last three games and has one touchdown and two interceptions in his last two.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ryan Matthews \u2013 San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Matthews is still hampered a bit by injury but he hasn\u2019t done much to steal the starting job away in San Diego. Some would argue that Mike Tolbert is the better back right now. As long as Matthews is getting his usual 9-12 carries per game, he\u2019ll remain NOT HOT.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jahvid Best \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong>Best has not eclipsed 67 yards and he has not scored in his last four games. He is making a few catches but is doing nothing with them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Bush \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong> Bush has been underwhelming as a starter apart from one game this season. Darren McFadden will return this week or next and Michael Bennett has declared himself fit to go \u2013 all will eat into Bush\u2019s touches going forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>TJ Houshmandzadeh \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013 <\/strong> Housh has no more than three catches in any game so far this season. In his last two games he has identical stats. Two catches for 24 yards in each game \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eddie Royal \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> Royal appears to be the forgotten man in Denver. In his last two games, Royal has a total of 68 yards receiving on seven catches and no touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mike Sims-Walker \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>Mike is the quintessential \u201cFlash in the Pan\u201d. He has six catches for 62 yards combined in the last two games.<\/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 7 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":[299,1540,17338,17335,2309,2310,1537,1536,1535,17337,17336,3039,3332],"class_list":["post-28213","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-7","tag-week-7-nfl"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28213","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=28213"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28213\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28522,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28213\/revisions\/28522"}],"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=28213"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28213"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/capperspicks.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28213"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
