HEY FANTASY FOOTBALLERS!!!! EVER BET ON AN NFL GAME???? TRY OUR EXPERT PICKS!! —–>
Definitely a lot of heat in the NFL this past week. There were 8 – 300+ yard passers, 6 – 125+ yard receivers and 6 players that scored more than 2 TD’s. There were also examples like 4 – sub 100 yard passing games for QBs and even 1 QB that ended up with negative passing yards.
Fantasy Football people – isn’t it fun!!!
HOT
1. Peyton Manning – Indianapolis – I know that he didn’t play this week, but he deserves to be mentioned anyway.
2. Tom Brady – New England – 380 yards and 6 TD’s. in about ½ a game??? Defiantly Hot, despite the snowstorm that he played in.
3. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh – Absolutely on fire this year – averaging 300+ yards per game and almost 2 TD’s. A key to Ben’s success is improved Offensive Line play. If you keep Ben from getting sacked, good things will happen. Will Roethlisberger remain Hot when the weather turns cold? I think he will.
4 Brett Favre – Minnesota – Has multi-td. games in 4 of 6 this year and is off to the 1st 6-0 start of his career. Favre is playing like a man 15 years his junior right now and leaving no doubts that he’s Hot!
5. Matt Schaub – Houston – At least 300 yards in 4 of 6 games this year as well. Sunday’s performance proved that Schaub belongs on this list. The 4 TD’s. don’t hurt either!
6. Maurice Jones-Drew – Jacksonville – MJD did some bitching about the play calling in the last few weeks and the coaches listened. 177 yards and 3 TD’s. in Week 6 proved how Hot he can be given the chance.
7. Ray Rice – Baltimore – 337 combined yard in the last 2 games!!! Unreal! Rice is as Hot as they come, rendering Willis McGahee irrelevant in Fantasy circles. You know that when Rice touches the ball, something is going to happen.
8. Adrian Peterson – Minnesota – Was getting the TD’s. but now Peterson is getting the yardage numbers too. 143 yards on 20 carries in Week 6 follows a 2 td. performance in Week 5. He’s about to catch fire folks – watch out league!!!
9. Carolina RBs – Finally the terrifying running tandem of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart are heating up. In Week 6, they combined for 262 yards and 3 TD’s.! If they can get on a roll like they did last year, they will be on this list again – guaranteed.
10. New England WRs – It was only a matter of time that Randy Moss and Wes Welker broke from their slumber. Week 6 had the duo combine for 18 catches, 279 yards and 5 TD’s. Absolutely nuts – and Defiantly worthy of being called Hot.
11. Andre Johnson – Houston – 8 grabs in each of the last 2 weeks is a reminder of why Johnson was the 3rd or 4th WR taken in most Fantasy drafts. Sprinkle in a couple of TD’s. over that span and you have one Hot WR.
12 Hines Ward – Pittsburgh – Touchdowns in 2 straight games, Ward has emerged as Roethlisberger’s favorite target. As long as Ben is Hot, Hines will be Hot too!
13. Owen Daniels – Houston – Quickly becoming the NFL’s most dangerous TEs. Daniels followed up his 8 catch 94 yard effort in Week 5 with a 7 grab 78 yard 2td. performance in Week 6. With Matt Schaub throwing for 300+ yards per game, Daniels doesn’t figure to slow his pace any time soon.
Honorable Mention – Joe Flacco – Baltimore : Drew Brees – New Orleans : Thomas Jones – NY Jets : Ahmad Bradshaw – NY Giants, Sidney Rice – Minnesota : Mike Sims-Walker – Jacksonville and Heath Miller – Pittsburgh.
NOT
1. Kerry Collins – Tennessee – I Can’t remember the last time I heard a stat line with minus 7 yards passing, but it happened this week. We’ll call Collins “King Not Hot”. Vince Young – start learning the playbook my good man.
2. Jake Delhomme – Carolina – 65 yards passing against Tampa Bay? Say it isn’t so. Good thing that the running game re-emerged for the Panthers – Williams and Stewart must have known that Delhomme was going to sewer the team.
3. Matt Hasselbeck – Seattle – Completely laid an egg against the Cardinals. 112 yards on 10 of 29 passing surely is Not Hot. After lighting up Jacksonville in Week 5, Matt is proof that you can go from Hot to Not Hot in a flash. 
4. Jason Campbell – Washington – 3 straight stinkers against the suspect defenses of Tampa Bay, Carolina, and Kansas City and he still seems to have a starting job! Unreal. 3 bad teams this year have gotten their 1st win against the Skins, and Campbell can surely take his share of the blame.
5. Willis McGahee – Baltimore – After a strong start to the season, McGahee has turned ice cold. Add in the fact that his counterpart Ray Rice is scorching, it leaves me thinking that Willis will not heat up any time soon. A Week 6 total of 3 yards on 7 carries is proof of McGahee’s freeze.
6. Brandon Jacobs – NY Giants – With only one td. so far this year, Jacobs has been flirting with the Not Hot list for a while. Because of the emergence of a more effective Ahmad Bradshaw, and 2 straight underwhelming weeks, Jacobs deserves his place on the Not Hot list.
7. Matt Forte – Chicago – 1 big run this year – 1!!!! Because of that, Forte has vaulted near the top of the “bust of the year” list. Averaging about 2.3 yards per carry on a good Offensive team is Not Hot. The only thing that can help now is the fact that some dude named Garrett Wolfe is the only other rusher touching the ball. Hell – your QB outrushed you Matt!!!
8. Buffalo WRs – Terrell Owens and Lee Evans have been virtually invisible all year and the possibility of Ryan Fitzpatrick taking over from injured, ineffective Trent Edwards won’t help matters much. Nothing in Buffalo is Hot – not even the cheer leaders.
9. Tennessee WRs – 2 WRs caught balls for the Titans in Week 6 – each one managed 1 grab! As long as Kerry Collins is under center, it seems that the pass catchers have NO value. With the possibility of Vince Young taking over at QB – well…….not any better!
10. Steve Smith – Carolina – Jake Delhomme is killing Steve Smith! Smith has managed over 40 yards only twice this season, and still has not seen the end zone – Not Hot.
11. Santana Moss – Washington – 5 catches for 86 yards in the last 2 games for the #1 WR on the team. The performances have been weak and the furture looks weaker. Phili, Atlanta, and Denver will continue Moss’ Not Hot streak for sure!
One reply on “HOT + NOT For Week 7 Fantasy Football”
The top three guys on your hot list are all poised for big weeks. Especially keep an eye on Ben Roethlisberger as this is a perfect week for him to take advantage of a Minnesota letdown.
