Hot & Not Following Week 11's NFL Games...

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 12 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Joey Harrington	HOT QUARTERBACKS Harrington connected on 19-of-29 passes for 213 yards and three touchdowns in the Dolphins' win over Detroit on Thursday. It was a triumphant return to Detroit for Harrington, who threw just one interception on the day while winning a career-best fourth start in a row.
2. Trent Green	Green completed 13-of-22 pass attempts for 161 yards and an interception in Thursday's win over Denver. Green looked poised in the pocket and played fairly well throughout the game. However, Kansas City's offense revolves around Larry Johnson and the running game.
1. Travis Henry	HOT RUNNING BACKS With mistake-prone QB Vince Young under center, Henry is essentially a one man offense and will turn in a solid fantasy performance despite facing frequent eight-man fronts. The Giants have nothing to fear from Young and the passing game and will not hesitate to move extra defenders into the box to load up against the Tennessee running game.
2. Ladell Betts	Betts has had a good season but is not a great play now that he has been elevated to being the feature back. Betts is not the every-down type of runner that Clinton Portis is, even though Betts is having perhaps his finest season.
3. DeAngelo Williams	DeShaun Foster's bad elbow could open the door for more time for Williams. Williams is coming off his first 100-yard game of the season last week against the Rams and could have another big week against the struggling Redskins defense.
4. Samkon Gado	Houston head coach Gary Kubiak learned well from mentor Mike Shanahan and has made the decision to go with a running-back-by-committee setup featuring Gado and Wali Lundy.
5. Justin Fargas	In his first game as the probable feature back, Fargas faces some tough running. Fargas is a quicker, more elusive back than injured starter LaMont Jordan, but he lacks the bulk to run up the middle. Fargas prefers to bounce runs to the outside, but he will have difficulty getting outside on the Chargers' speedy front seven.
1. Braylon Edwards	HOT WIDE RECEIVERS Edwards is a tough cover under the best of circumstances, and circumstances clearly could be better for Cincinnati. CB Deltha O'Neal could miss Week 12, the Bengals aren't creating much pass-rush pressure, and the smoke is just now clearing after QB Drew Brees' 510-yard torch job of Cincy's pass defense last week.
2. Reche Caldwell	Caldwell has clearly emerged as QB Tom Brady's top receiver and should continue his solid play against the Bears. Caldwell isn't flashy but he gives Brady a reliable red zone and intermediate option, particularly on third down.
3. Devery Henderson	Henderson has a chance to turn in a huge game if he is needed as an injury replacement. Henderson has two 100-yard games in the last three weeks as he has filled in for some of the Saints' banged-up receivers. If Marques Colston can not play, Henderson will have a chance at more such numbers.
1 . Jeremy Shockey	HOT TIGHT ENDS New York QB Eli Manning should frequently target Shockey against a Titans pass defense that has struggled all season to handle tight ends. Despite Manning's recent run of erratic play, the quarterback has a solid matchup against a toothless Tennessee pass defense and should have little problem connecting with Shockey downfield.
1 . Dolphins D/ST	HOT DEFENSES Since the team's Week 8 bye, Miami's defense has been a fantasy juggernaut. In the team's last three games, the defense has racked up four interceptions, five fumble recoveries, nine sacks and scored three touchdowns while holding opponents to 14.3 points per game.

Team	NFL WEEK 12 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Donovan McNabb	NOT QUARTERBACKS A knee injury derails what had been a sensational season for McNabb. McNabb is done for the year because of a torn ACL and might be a long shot to be healthy for the start of next season.
2. Damon Huard	It's still worth keep Huard around, in case Green experiences a setback or struggles in his return to action.
1. LaMont Jordan	NOT RUNNING BACKS A sprained knee ligament puts Jordan, and Jordan's fantasy owners, out of their misery. Jordan no longer will rot away on your bench after a knee injury sidelined him for the season last week.
2. Leon Washington	Washington will have no problem shredding a Texans run defense surrendering 4.5 yards per carry. But it's not the Houston run defense that's keeping the rookie from being a fantasy factor; it's Eric Mangini's decision to involve three Jets running backs in a running-back-by-committee setup.
3. Maurice Morris	Whether RB Shaun Alexander is 100 percent is debatable, but whether he is unquetionably Seattle's top back doesn't seem to be. Morris had just two carries last week, despite the fact that Alexander stayed stuck in neutral for most of his 17 carries.
4. Reuben Droughns	Make like Cleveland this week and consider Droughns a game-time decision. A foot injury kept him out against Pittsburgh, and the Browns might be inclined to give him more rest against a weak run defense -- especially given how effective RB Jason Wright was against a strong Steelers unit.
1. Reggie Williams	NOT WIDE RECEIVERS Williams has just four catches in the Jags' last five games and is a longshot to make a fantasy impact in a scaled-back passing attack. The Jags feature frequent multiple receiver sets and when QB David Garrard is given the green light to throw he has plenty of options other than Williams to target.
2. Mike Furrey	While his lack of big play ability limits his fantasy potential, Furrey's role in the short-intermediate passing game figures to be in high demand
3. Antonio Bryant	The 49ers have stressed the run during a three-game winning streak, during which Bryant has had just two catches in each game. The Rams already were shorthanded in the secondary after they lost CB Travis Fisher for the season and Bryant will have a chance to hit some big plays if he is matched up against rookie CB Tye Hill.
1. Jerramy Stevens	NOT TIGHT END Stevens is a rare talent who has an excellent matchup. So why aren't we excited? Because he is maddeningly inconsistent, scoring TDs in Weeks 8 and 10 but delivering a combined one catch for 18 yards (and a fumble) in Weeks 9 and 11.
1. Falcons D/ST	NOT DEFENSE A shaky Falcons defense could be close to getting healthy but is facing a potent Saints squad this week. New Orleans has scored 31 points in each of its last three games and brings a red-hot passing game into Atlanta.
2. Giants D/ST	Despite likely being without All Pro defensive ends Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, New York should still find fantasy success courtesy of an erratic QB Vince Young. While Titans head coach Jeff Fisher will fall back on the team's ground game whenever possible, it's a good bet that Tennessee will be chasing points through the air early in the game. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
