Leave a comment and tell me what you think!<\/p>\n<p>Good Luck!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Vick \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> Vick is insane \u2013 The most valuable player in my opinion! His energy is giving the Eagles belief. In his last four games, he is responsible for 12 touchdowns (9 passing and 3 rushing), has averaged 286.6 yards passing and nearly 60 yards rushing per game. You do the math \u2013 HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Philip Rivers \u2013\u00a0San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong> Rivers Fantasy numbers have come down a bit but figure that he has only attempted 49 passes in his last two games and has completed 37 of them and realize that it is not bad. Now with Vincent Jackson back in the fold, things become a lot Hotter for Rivers. He`s got Cincinnati and Denver remaining \u2013 cha ching!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jon Kitna \u2013\u00a0Dallas Cowboys \u2013 <\/strong>Kitna threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns against Washington and has multiple touchdowns in two straight games. He`s got brutal Arizona up next and could easily go for 300 again this week.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris Johnson \u2013\u00a0Tennessee Titans \u2013 <\/strong> The Chris Johnson slump appears to be over. He has rushed for a combined 241 yards in his last two games and has scored in each. Johnson has also caught the ball out of the backfield and is once again the rightful centerpiece of the offense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ray Rice \u2013\u00a0Baltimore Ravens \u2013 <\/strong> Hopefully the Baltimore coaches get it \u2013 get the ball to Ray Rice and good things will happen! In Week 14, he touched the ball 27 times \u2013 he had a big game and Baltimore won. In Week 15 he had 36 touches and an enormous game \u2013 the Ravens win! Against Cleveland, expect much of the same.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Darren McFadden \u2013\u00a0Oakland Raiders \u2013 <\/strong>McFadden has been a beast in the last three games especially. He has averaged 113 yards rushing in those three and has scored three times on the ground. He is also averaging 52 yards receiving in those games and has scored once \u2013 HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Vincent Jackson \u2013 San Diego Chargers \u2013 <\/strong>VJax is back and there is nobody happier that Philip Rivers. Finally someone dependable to throw the money ball to! Jackson has caught five passes in two straight games and proved that he has Rivers\u2019 eye with 112 yards and three touchdowns last Thursday night. Those of you who waited on this guy \u2013 Congratulations!<\/p>\n<p><strong>DeSean Jackson \u2013\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles \u2013 <\/strong> That`s Mr. Jackson to you and I. He has provided the Football world with some incredible season changing plays in the last two weeks. His Fantasy game wasn\u2019t all that great on Sunday, but C`mon \u2013 he`s HOT!  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Andre Johnson \u2013\u00a0Houston Texans \u2013<\/strong> Johnson has scored in three of his last four games and although he did not break the 140 yard receiving plateau on Sunday, he did catch six balls and he did score. Against Denver, he should be huge \u2013 he has to be if the Texans hope to win.  <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<h3><strong>Not Hot<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">QBs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Ben Roethlisberger \u2013\u00a0Pittsburgh Steelers \u2013 <\/strong> For Fantasy purposes, Big Ben hasn`t been all that Hot. He has only thrown one touchdown in his last two games and with inclement weather becoming a factor; Rashard Mendenhall is becoming the offense in Pittsburgh. Sloppy game against a good Carolina pass defense is up next.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Carson Palmer \u2013\u00a0Cincinnati Bengals \u2013 <\/strong> Palmer has been brutal and if you are relying on him, I`m sorry! He has only one touchdown pass in his last two games and he has thrown four interceptions. Plus, Terrell Owens is gone for the year. Top ranked defense San Diego is up next for Carson and the boys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark Sanchez \u2013\u00a0NY Jets \u2013 <\/strong>It`s hard to believe when I look at the stats but Sanchez hasn`t throw a touchdown in three games and he`s tossed four interceptions in those games. Sanchez has only averaged 179 yards passing in his last four \u2013 NOT HOT!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">RBs <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Fred Jackson \u2013\u00a0Buffalo Bills \u2013 <\/strong> Jackson has been horribly Hot or Miss and after the Miami game, I have to put Jackson in the Not Hot category. With the Bills certain to be down early against New England, Jackson`s touches will certainly be limited<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Jones \u2013\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs \u2013 <\/strong> Jones finally scored after five weeks but the fact is that he is a clear 2<sup>nd<\/sup> fiddle in Kansas City. He`s a nice player but he is certainly not a Hot Fantasy option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jahvid Best \u2013\u00a0Detroit Lions \u2013 <\/strong> I thought that Best was injured \u2013 That`s how invisible he`s been. He has gotten 10 touches per game in his last three and has averaged about 50 yards per game. It is official \u2013 Best is a Bust.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WRs<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael Crabtree \u2013\u00a0San Francisco 49ers \u2013 <\/strong> Just like the rest of his team \u2013 so much promise, so little production. I thought that it couldn\u2019t get any worse Week 14 and 15 came along \u2013 a combined four catches for 18 yards!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dwayne Bowe \u2013\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs \u2013 <\/strong> Bowe was hoping that the return of Matt Cassel would kick start his stats once again but he only had two catches in Week 14. Against Tennessee, I would imagine that the Chiefs are going to stick with their bread and butter \u2013 the Run, which hurts Bowe.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oddsmaker.com\/aff-100\/capf_girl_100.php\">HEADS UP FOLKS ODDSMAKER.COM WANTS TO GIVE YOU A FREE $100 Bet!
