Indianapolis, New Orleans, Pittsburgh and Houston are all on byes this week and unfortunately a couple of the “Hot List” players play for one of those teams. The cream is certainly rising to the top after more than half of the season and those players obviously appear on the Hot List. Unfortunately, there are some players not living up to expectation and they are featured on the Not Hot List.
Take a gander below and hope that someone from your roster is Hot and someone from your Week 11 opponent’s squad is Not!
Hot
QBs
Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers – Packers QB Aaron Rodgers became the fifth player NFL history to throw at least two touchdown passes in each of the first nine games of a season in Week 10 against the Vikings. He completed 23 of 30 passes for 250 yards with four scores in the 45-7 win. Rodgers has now tossed 11 touchdowns compared to zero interceptions over his last three games. Obviously, Rodgers is the Hottest man in Football.
Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints – Brees has been sensational but somehow his numbers get a bit lost. He leads the league with 3326 yards and has 23 touchdowns already this season. This is a throwing team – Brees is on a bye this week but will definitely come back Hot.
Eli Manning – NY Jets – Manning has averaged nearly 300 yards per game this season – over 300 in two of his last three games. He has two touchdown passes in three straight games and with shootouts with the Eagles, the Saints and the Packers on tap – Eli’s numbers should remain Hot.
RBs
Arian Foster – Houston Texans – Foster has six touchdowns and an average over 100 yards rushing in his last four games and seven straight games with 100+ yards from scrimmage. Foster has 649 yards rushing and 445 yards receiving in about 7 ½ games this season – Hot!
Steven Jackson – St. Louis Rams – Jackson is back! He has averaged 139 yards rushing in his last three games. He hasn`t scored in his last two games but he is certainly due!
Michael Bush – Oakland Raiders – Bush`s Hotness totally depends on Darren McFadden`s health. But it is worthy to note that Bush has rushed for 352 yards in his last three games with three total touchdowns. Bush also has 229 yards receiving this season. [ad-8469823]
Honourable Mention: Marshawn Lynch, DeMarco Murray
WRs
Brandon Marshall – Miami Dolphins – Marshall has 15 catches, 204 yards and a touchdown in his last two games. He’s got Buffalo and Dallas coming up – he’s Hot!
Victor Cruz – NY Giants – Cruz hasn’t scored in his last two games but he is due. He has averaged 6 catches and 91 yards per game over his last three. Cruz may be the best WR3 in Fantasy Football!
Jordy Nelson – Green Bay Packers – Nelson is a complete beneficiary of Aaron Rodgers insane play Nelson has averaged 81 yards receiving in his last four games and has scored four times over that span. Nelson has become who we thought he would be – A Fantasy Stud!
Not Hot
QBs
Matthew Stafford – Detroit Lions – Maybe this is a bit harsh but if you watched Sunday’s performance – you’ll know what I mean. He just doesn’t seem to have the confidence and has had two bad Fantasy weeks in the last three games. Detroit has Carolina on Sunday – a team that gives 223 yards per game this season. I hope I’m wrong but I think Stafford is Not Hot.
Sam Bradford – St. Louis Rams – Since coming back from injury, Bradford has averaged 205 yards passing and has a total of 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions in two games. Bradford has sunk into Fantasy oblivion.
RBs
Beanie Wells – Arizona Cardinals – What have you done with Beanie Wells? He has averaged 41 yards rushing in his last two games and hasn`t found the end zone. He has San Francisco`s Number One ranked run defense on tap – Not Hot.
LeGarrette Blount – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Blount doesn`t have much competition in Tampa but he has yet to produce. He has averaged 53 yards per game in his last two contests and hasn`t scored. You know the Bucs aren`t going to be able to run the ball next week – they will be trailing all game long to the Packers!
Ryan Grant – Green Bay Packers – Many of you drafted Grant to be your RB2 but he has been brutal lately – 6 yards on eight carries in Monday’s 45-7 win. Grant has not gone over 29 yards since Week 3 and hasn’t scored yet this season. It is long past time to cut bait with Mr. Grant – he’s Not Hot!
WRs
Dwayne Bowe – KC Chiefs – Bowe hasn’t been great over the past few weeks – he hasn’t scored since Week 5. Now comes word that he will have Tyler Palko as his quarterback for the foreseeable future – the only conclusion is Bowe is Not Hot!
DeSean Jackson – Philadelphia Eagles – Boob! Oversleeping and missing a meeting is unacceptable. Your deactivation on Sunday and your 47 combined yards in your previous two games is unacceptable too! Here is your punishment – Vince Young is your quarterback!
