Hot & Not Following Week 1'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 2 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Mark Bulger	HOT QUARTERBACKS Bulger did enough to win and unlike his counterpart Jake Plummer, he did not throw an interception. TD passes should be forthcoming, as this week's opponent, the 49ers, looks like a good matchup for Bulger.
2. Donovan McNabb	McNabb only rushed for seven yards in the contest but completed over 68 percent of his passes (24-for-35) and looked extremely sharp. McNabb appears poised to return to his previous status as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. This week his Eagles play the Giants.
3. Kurt Warner	Warner had a big day in Sunday's win over San Francisco, going 23-of-37 for 301 yards with three touchdowns. Warner spread the ball around inside the red zone, throwing a short touchdown pass to three different receivers. Warner focused on Larry Fitzgerald between the 20's, completing 9-of-14 attempts for 133 yards. The only negative for Warner on Sunday was that he had three fumbles. This week he plays the Seahawks in Seattle, they'll be behind, he'll be throwing.
1. LaDainian Tomlinson	HOT RUNNING BACKS Tomlinson's heavy workload on Monday night at Oakland seemed to contradict all of the preseason talk about using him less in an effort to preserve him for the end of the season, the San Diego Union-Tribune reports. This week in their home opener the Chargers taken on the visiting Tennessee Titans. Expect more of the same from LT.
2. Steven Jackson	Jackson's owners would no doubt have liked him to record a TD last week vs the Broncos, but on the plus side, Tony Fisher was the only other Rams' back to record a carry, and he had just three. Last season, Jackson didn't see 20 or more carries until his seventh game. Expect more of the same this week vs the 49ers.
3. Rudi Johnson	Johnson has a history of big games against the Browns, this week's opponent, averaging 27 carries for 165 yards per game the last three times he's faced Cleveland. Johnson showed that he is ready to be a workhorse this season after dominating the opener against the Chiefs (28 carries, 96 yards and a touchdown)
1. Larry Fitzgerald	HOT WIDE RECEIVERS Despite a couple drops last Sunday I think Fitzgerald can sort this problem out soon, it's a sign that he can do better, and not a sign that he will lose touches. He has a reputation as a top-flight receiver, so we'll expect him to produce even more solid numbers this week vs the Seahawk DB's Trufant and Herndon.
2. Hines Ward	Ward (hamstring) will be listed as probable for Week 2, coach Bill Cowher said on Tuesday. Ward played well in Week 1 despite not being 100 percent. Physically, he should fare at least as well in Week 2 vs the Jaguars. If you need TD's in your league watch out for him in the red zone.
1. Tony Gonzalez	HOT TIGHT END A huge week 1 game for TG saw him land 10 catches vs the Bengals. While Gonzalez remained active in Week 1's game against the Bengals after Green's injury, it's hard to expect much with Damon Huard under center on the road against the Broncos. Don't sit Gonzalez, just temper expectations.
4. Chargers Defense/Special Teams	HOT DEFENSE San Diego hosts Tennessee this week, and its going to take everything the Tennessee Offensive line has to keep the front 7 of San Diego in check. Shawn Merriman is flat out a stud, and could be the defensive MVP by the end of the year. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>

Team	NFL WEEK 2 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Chris Simms	NOT QUARTERBACKS While the health of Simms' offensive line will be an issue this week against Atlanta as well, he had some productive games last year playing behind the same line, and he has more healthy wideouts than he had at his disposal last season. Simms has the potential to deliver a good performance against the Falcons, if he gives himself the chance.
2. Aaron Brooks	Brooks suffered a bruised knee on Monday night, most likely during one of the seven times he was sacked by the Chargers. It appears that Brooks will start Sunday's game against Baltimore and hopefully - for both his health and production - Oakland will employ some shorter routes and three-step drops so that Brooks can actually get rid of the ball.
3. Jake Plummer	Plummer had a terrible opener for the Broncos, completing just 13 of 26 passes for 138 yards, while throwing three interceptions and fumbling once. The Broncos offensive line struggled to protect him at times, but Plummer did make some poor decisions as well. Which Jake shows up this week at home vs the KC Chiefs?
1. Cadillac Williams	NOT RUNNING BACKS Williams was held out of the fourth quarter of last week's game due to back spasms. The Cadillac practiced without apparent limitation with the Bucs on Wednesday, and Gruden said afterwards "I can say (Williams) is getting better. He's not, I don't think, 100 percent, but knowing him he'll find a way to get through it. But he is making progress. I know he's a first round pick, but, if you better options, play them this week at RB.
2. DeShaun Foster	The Panthers gained just 65 yards on the ground against a revamped Falcons' defense. Foster also caught four passes for 20 yards, while backup DeAngelo Williams had just one touch on offense (one reception for eight yards). I expect better things from Foster, but there are injuries to the Panthers O-line which may slow down his production.
3. Chris Brown	A couple things to point out here, the Chargers defense allowed Lamont Jordan to rush for only 20 yards last week, plus as usual Brown has an early season injury (turf toe), he says its ok, but you know Chris?! With Henry likely to dominate the goal line carries, Brown doesn't warrant a start.
1. Roy Williams	NOT WIDE RECEIVERS Williams's confidence hasn't been shaken by the tame opener, because he's already guaranteed a win for the Lions over Chicago in Week 2. It will be interesting to see what the outstanding Bears defense has to say about that Sunday.
2. Joe Horn	While it is far too early to panic about Horn's fantasy production, it is worth noting that Brees completed more passes to both Marques Colston and Devery Henderson, the two receivers behind Horn on the depth chart. Horn is still the best fantasy option at receiver on the Saints, but it appears that Brees will target other wideouts, as well as running back Reggie Bush,
1. Chris Cooley	NOT TIGHT END Cooley caught two passes for negative three yards on Monday night. He made one catch for six yards and another for negative nine yards.The Redskins' offense has looked awful ever since training camp began. Cooley's Week 1 numbers are no exception.
4. Packers Defense/Special Teams	NOT DEFENSE Green Bay has New Orleans coming to town, and if they roll over and play dead like they did last week hosting the Bears "not so good" offense, the Saints will be marching right out of Title town with a W. AJ Hawk, Woodson, and the Green Bay Secondary have got to pick their games up to keep Reggie Bush in check. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
