Welcome to Dave B\u2019s Week 8 Hot and Not. Every week, we seem to see new entries into the Hot list but strangely, there a few repeat offenders on the Not Hot list. I hope that you have your share of Hot and your opposition has the Not Hot!<\/p>\n

Enjoy the Week 8 Edition and by all means, leave a comment to let me know how you feel about the list!<\/p>\n

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

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

Ben Roethlisberger \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong> Big Ben is back baby! He has averaged 277 yards passing and has tossed five touchdowns since his return. Shootouts with New Orleans and Cincinnati are on the horizon so expect Ben to remain Hot.<\/p>\n

Carson Palmer \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Palmer has thrown multiple touchdowns in his last three games and is averaging almost 331 yards per game during that span. He has also thrown seven touchdowns in his last three \u2013 so much for the talk about his demise!<\/p>\n

Ryan Fitzpatrick \u2013\u00a0Buffalo Bills \u2013 <\/strong>Seriously! Fitzpatrick has passed for 11 touchdowns in the four games that he has started this season. He has done the impossible \u2013 make the Bills competitive. Four touchdowns last week against Baltimore alone make him Hot.<\/p>\n

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

Ahmad Bradshaw \u2013\u00a0New York Giants \u2013<\/strong> Bradshaw is Da Man in New York and if Brandon Jacobs keeps fumbling the ball, he will remain so. Bradshaw is averaging almost 130 yards per game in his last two and is as Hot as they come! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Frank Gore \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013 <\/strong> Gore has been over 100 yards rushing in his last two games and he is adding a lot of yardage through the air to his totals. With Troy Smith starting for the next few weeks at quarterback, Gore will be leaned on heavily again. He\u2019s all that the Niners have \u2013 he\u2019s Hot.<\/p>\n

Michael Turner \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013 <\/strong>Turner was poor in Week 6 but in Weeks 5 and 7, he has combined for 261 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Tampa Bay is next on the schedule \u2013 cha ching!<\/p>\n

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

Hakeem Nicks \u2013\u00a0New York Giants \u2013 <\/strong> We will give Nicks a Week 6 mulligan (3 catches, 8 yards). Other than that, since Week 4, Nicks has averaged 116 yards per game and he has scored four touchdowns!<\/p>\n

Roddy White \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013<\/strong> Mr. White has only been under 70 yards once this season and has at least five catches in every game. In his last three games, White has 385 combined yards and three touchdowns \u2013 ya \u2013 he\u2019s Hot! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dwayne Bowe \u2013\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs \u2013 <\/strong> Bowe is smokin\u2019 He has 189 yards combined in his last two games and he has scored four touchdowns! He\u2019s Hot like Africa!<\/p>\n

Mike Williams \u2013\u00a0Seattle Seahawks \u2013 <\/strong>Ditto for Williams! In his last two games, he has 21 catches for 210 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n

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

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

Brett Favre \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong> I\u2019m not a hater \u2013 OK maybe just a little bit! Favre has averaged 200 yards passing in his last two games, has two touchdowns and three interceptions. He may be on the shelf a while to become even more Not Hot! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Jay Cutler \u2013\u00a0Chicago Bears \u2013 <\/strong> After a scorching start to the season \u201cBad Jay Cutler\u201d has re-emerged! In his last three games, Cutler has thrown only one touchdown but has thrown five interceptions and has fumbled the ball three times. Ouch!<\/p>\n

Kyle Orton \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> After an absolutely insane stretch of games, Orton has fallen back to earth just a little bit. In his last two games, Orton is averaging just 204 yards passing and 1.5 touchdowns \u2013 a far cry from his Hot days!<\/p>\n

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

Rashard Mendenhall \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong> Mendenhall appears to have regressed since Ben\u2019s return. In the two games that Roethlisberger has started, Rashard has rushed for a combined 121 yards and one touchdown. Not bad, but I thought that Ben would bring brighter days to Mendenhall.<\/p>\n

Cedric Benson \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013<\/strong>Benson had a monster Week 5 but in the two games sandwiched around Week 5 he has a combined 130 yards on 35 carries with no touchdowns.<\/p>\n

DeAngelo Williams \u2013\u00a0Carolina Panthers \u2013 <\/strong> Williams has averaged just over 60 yards per game this season and has scored only one touchdown. Now comes word that he has a sprained foot! He is certainly Not Hot.<\/p>\n

Ryan Matthews \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Since Week 1, Matthews has not rushed for more than 64 yards. He only has one touchdown on the year so far. Matthews plays on a passing team and because of his weak blocking ability, he will likely remain Not Hot.<\/p>\n

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

Larry Fitzgerald \u2013\u00a0Arizona Cardinals \u2013 <\/strong> Poor Larry \u2013 Max Hall is killing one of my faves! He has not scored in three weeks and last week, he caught only three balls for 30 yards!<\/p>\n

Eddie Royal \u2013\u00a0Denver Broncos \u2013 <\/strong> After a superb Week 4, Royal has all but disappeared. In his last three games, Royal has a combined 9 catches for 94 yards and zero touchdowns. Time to drop him!<\/p>\n

Miles Austin \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong>Has anyone seen Miles Austin? In his last two games Miles has a combined five catches for 50 yards and no touchdowns. With Kitna at the helm for the foreseeable future, bets are that Austin remains Not Hot.<\/p>\n
