Hot & Not Following Week 10's NFL Games...

If you are in need of a HOT fantasy football player these Top Hot players for the week should help you out if they're in your lineup. If you need to dump a lame duck on your team, these NOTS should be them. Fantasy Football always favors the prepared mind. The more research you do, and the more HOT players you have to choose from on your team, the better your odds are of winning your fantasy football league outright this year.

Team	NFL WEEK 11 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Tony Romo	HOT QUARTERBACKS The inexperienced Romo is turning into one of the league's more reliable quarterbacks. He has not looked like a quarterback with three career starts; he has completed at least 66% of his passes in those games with only one total interception and two TD passes in each of the last two games.
2. Steve McNair	Coming off his biggest game of the season, McNair should have another strong outing. The Falcons are 30th in the league in passing yards allowed, have been atrocious in the back end of their secondary and are ravaged by injuries to their defensive backs.
1. Ladell Betts	HOT RUNNING BACKS Betts takes over as the Redskins' lead back and hopes to build on his limited success. He's had two good games this year when he has gotten at least 16 carries -- which he should now that he is the starter in the wake of Clinton Portis' broken hand.
2. Anthony Thomas	With starter Willis McGahee (ribs) out of action again, Thomas will once again power the Bills' run-heavy offense. Houston has struggled all season to stop the run -- opponents are averaging 4.6 yards per carry against the Texans -- and Buffalo's revamped offensive line should be able to win the battle in the trenches.
3. Maurice Morris	Morris has come alive the last two weeks, and he may still have life yet. Even if RB Shaun Alexander (foot) returns this week, it's doubtful that he'd be ready for a full ride. Morris might not get 20 carries, but he should get enough.
4. T.J. Duckett	Duckett should be ready for his most extensive playing time of the season. He has only seven carries on the year and easily could have more this week. Duckett's best role is as a power back in short-yardage situations, which could develop into a valuable job if the Redskins give him some scoring chances.
5. Frank Gore	Gore (concussion, questionable) went through individual drills on Wednesday and should be ready to go Sunday. The Seahawks have been getting railroaded because they're failing in the same areas in which they excelled last season: tackling, discipline, intensity. Seattle might devote more safety help than usual to run support if San Francisco's passing game doesn't become a little more menacing
1. Mark Clayton	HOT WIDE RECEIVERS Clayton is emerging as the Ravens' most productive receiver and worth a start most weeks. He took over the team lead in receptions from veteran Derrick Mason last week and has three big games out of the last four.
2. Devery Henderson	Henderson had three catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns last week, and the Saints will be looking to him to carry some of the load since they will be without Horn. If you're in need of a fill-in receiver, give Henderson some consideration.
3. Patrick Crayton	Taking advantage of more playing time, Crayton has had two big games in a row. Filling in for the injured Terry Glenn, Crayton has 188 yards and a TD over the last two weeks. He does not draw the defensive attention that Owens does and could be a good replacement if you need a receiver for this week. Check Glenn's status on Sunday.
1 . Bo Scaife	HOT TIGHT ENDS Scaife has had some decent games, despite his production being extremely unpredictable. If you are desperate for a tight end, Scaife might bail you out because he often is able to bail out QB Vince Young.
1 . Chiefs D/ST	HOT DEFENSES Kansas City awaits the perfect remedy for all its problems: the Raiders' offense. Oakland is easily last in the league in both points and yards this season, which means good things for a beat-up Chiefs defense.

Team	NFL WEEK 11 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Mark Brunell	NOT QUARTERBACKS Barring an injury, Mark Brunell will remain a reserve. Second-year QB Jason Campbell is the Redskins' starter, likely for the rest of the season, after Brunell struggled for much of the first part of the year. Brunell's value is shot.
2. Alex Smith	Smith hasn't gotten much leash lately, and San Francisco might not need to turn him loose against Seattle. The Seahawks have had trouble stopping the run, and the offense still is dealing with some injuries. If the 49ers have their way, RB Frank Gore will do all of the heavy lifting.
1. Mike Bell	NOT RUNNING BACKS Staying true to his well-known hatred for fantasy football owners, Mike Shanahan unexpectedly benched M. Bell last week. But with starter Tatum Bell (toe) battling a nagging injury, expect M. Bell to be back in the lineup against the Chargers.
2. Clinton Portis	Portis was placed on injured reserve Wednesday due to a broken right hand and will undergo additional surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, reports the Washington Post.
3. Willis McGahee	McGahee (out; ribs) will miss his second consecutive game this Sunday and has not been able to return to the practice field. This was expected so McGahee owners should not have been caught off guard. Backup RB Anthony Thomas will get his second consecutive start.
4. Jerious Norwood	Norwood missed last week's game because of a sprained knee and might miss still more time. And even if Norwood can return, he will be a bad play against the Ravens' second-ranked run defense.
1. Bryant Johnson	NOT WIDE RECEIVERS With WR Larry Fitzgerald back in action, someone in the Arizona passing game has to lose catches and it's not going to be Anquan Boldin. Johnson is the odd man out. Though the Detroit secondary is abysmal, Johnson simply won't get the looks in the passing game with Fitzgerald and Boldin dominating the throws.
2. Doug Gabriel	Gabriel was benched last week after coughing up a fumble but the receiver's stay in Bill Belichick's doghouse will be a short one; expect a bounce back game from Gabriel against a suspect Packers secondary.
3. Terry Glenn	Glenn missed last week's game because of a quadriceps and knee injury and his status will be in doubt again this week. He would be a good play if healthy because the Cowboys have to be aggressive on offense to keep up with the potent Colts.
1. Alex Smith	NOT TIGHT END Smith could find some room to play well if QB Bruce Gradkowski goes his direction. He is an instinctive player with natural, soft hands who can find that natural holes underneath the Redskins' coverage.
1. Steelers D/ST	NOT DEFENSE Even on the road, the Steelers will be a good play against the Browns' inconsistent offense. Pittsburgh's defense has had its problems this season but this matchup against a so-so offense should be favorable.
2. Saints D/ST	New Orleans' coaching staff has done an admirable job of covering up for mediocre defensive personnel. So what's the breaking point? Cincinnati. The Saints are playing at home, their pass-rushing ends match up very well with an injury-depleted Bengals offensive line. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
