Hot and Not – Week 9<\/strong><\/h2>\n

HEY FANTASY FOOTBALLERS!!!! EVER BET ON AN NFL GAME???? TRY OUR EXPERT PICKS!! —–><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Ahhh Week 9 \u2013\u00a0half way through the NFL season and some players refuse to cool down while others refuse to heat up! Below is Dave B\u2019s Week 9 version of the Hot and Not list.<\/p>\n

Enjoy and keep the comments coming!<\/p>\n

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

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

Philip Rivers \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Rivers is averaging more than 311 yards per game this season and has tossed 15 touchdowns. Rivers has Houston this week and after seeing what Peyton Manning did to the Texans, Rivers should be in for a huge day!<\/p>\n

Matthew Stafford \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013<\/strong> I know that Stafford has only played one game since returning from injury but only a HOT player would shake the rust and toss 4 touchdowns in his first game back. He\u2019s got the Jets this week but after that he plays Buffalo and Dallas. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Jason Campbell \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong> It is hard to believe that the Raiders are considering starting Bruce Gradkowski in Week 9 after what Jason Campbell has accomplished in the last two games. He has the Raiders on their first two game win streak in a hell of a long time and has passed for 514 yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions during the streak.<\/p>\n

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

Darren McFadden \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong> McFadden followed up his 4 touchdown game against Denver with another 100+ yard rushing effort against Seattle\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> ranked run defense. Not only is he running the ball incredibly well, but he is getting his share of yards through the air as well.<\/p>\n

Frank Gore \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013 <\/strong> Gore has been a monster the past three weeks and has a well deserved bye this week. He has gone over 100 yards in each of his past three games and is adding receiving yards to his already impressive totals. St. Louis and Tampa at home follow their bye.<\/p>\n

Maurice Jones \u2013\u00a0Drew \u2013\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars \u2013 <\/strong>Jones-Drew has finally woken up and has over 100 yards combined in his last two games. The scores aren\u2019t there yet, but the touches and yardage are. He is on a bye this week, then faces Houston\u2019s terrible defense and the Cleveland. Fear not Fantasy owners \u2013 MJD appears to be back! \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

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

Calvin Johnson \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> Megatron is a total STUD! In his last four games, he has averaged nearly 97 yards receiving and has scored seven touchdowns. The Jets may give him a slight problem this week but the Bills and the Cowboys are on deck!<\/p>\n

Roddy White \u2013\u00a0Atlanta Falcons \u2013 <\/strong> White enjoyed the bye in Week 8 but he was still HOT even though he didn\u2019t play. In his 7 games this season, White has averaged almost 8 catches per game and 107 yards. Before the bye, White had 11 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns \u2013 worthy of the HOT list even though he didn\u2019t play last week \u2013 don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n

Antonio Gates \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>Gates has only had one game this season in which he didn\u2019t score a touchdown. He is averaging almost 83 yards per contest and has scored nine times. He\u2019s as HOT as they come!<\/p>\n

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

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

Tom Brady \u2013\u00a0New England Patriots \u2013 <\/strong> Brady hasn\u2019t been terrible but he is surely NOT HOT. He hasn\u2019t tossed for more than one touchdown since Week 3 and in his last two games, he is averaging less that 200 yards passing.<\/p>\n

Brett Favre \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings \u2013 <\/strong> We should just rename this the Brett Favre column. Favre wasn\u2019t horrible either on Sunday but over his past three games, Favre is averaging 196 yards and has tossed two touchdowns and four interceptions over that span. Chances are that he hurts his back this week \u2013 everything else in injured!<\/p>\n

Donovan McNabb \u2013\u00a0Washington Redskins \u2013 <\/strong>McNabb had been a colossal disappointment all season long \u2013 he hasn\u2019t tossed for more than one touchdown in any game so far! McNabb has averaged 219 yards passing in his last three games, has tossed three touchdowns and five interceptions over that span \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n

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

Jahvid Best \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> Best hasn\u2019t scored since Week 2 and has gone over 50 yards rushing just once in his past five games. The coaching staff appears to be phasing in Kevin Smith to cut into NOT HOT Best.<\/p>\n

Felix Jones \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong> Ugly is the only word to describe it. Jones has not eclipsed 35 yards rushing in any of his last three games and hasn\u2019t scored all season. Work is that he is banged up too \u2013 he\u2019s NOT HOT!<\/p>\n

Cedric Benson \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Cedric Benson \u2013 where have you gone? Benson has had two nearly identical disappointing games in a row \u2013 20 touches, 70 yards and no touchdowns. He hasn\u2019t scored since Week 3 and this week faces the Pittsburgh Steelers!<\/p>\n

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

Randy Moss \u2013\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\/Tennessee Titans<\/strong> \u2013 Mr. Moss has been a bust \u2013 no denying it and now he goes to a run-first team! In his last three games, Moss has a combined 9 catches, 93 yards and one touchdown \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n

Wes Welker \u2013\u00a0New England Patriots \u2013 <\/strong> I miss Randy Moss too Wes! In the last three games Welker has been silent, catching a combined 14 balls for 102 yards and zero touchdowns. Things will get better \u2013 I promise you Wes!<\/p>\n

Chad Ochocinco \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong>Ocho has had one good game since Week 1. Week 7 versus Atlanta, Chad had 10 catches 108 yards and a touchdown. In the other five games since Week 1 Ochocinco has averaged 38 yards per game and has scored zero touchdowns.<\/p>\n
