Hot & Not Following Week 7'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 8 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Tony Romo	HOT QUARTERBACKS Maybe a week of practice with the first string will help Romo, but don't bet on it. If he starts this week, Romo needs to play better than the three interceptions he threw in the second half of the Cowboys' Monday night debacle.
2. Jon Kitna	Kitna went 22-for-36 with 269 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Lions' 31-24 loss to the Jets on Sunday. Kitna is now second in the league in passing yards with 1,853, to go along with his nine touchdowns.
1. Leon Washington	HOT RUNNING BACKS Averaging 5.3 yards per carry over his last three games, Washington will romp against one of the NFL's worst run defenses. Opposing running backs have made quick work of the Browns' defense, ripping off 144.2 yards per game at a 4.6 yards per carry clip
2. Travis Henry	Since Tennessee coach Jeff Fisher made the decision to put the team's offense on the veteran's shoulders, Henry has been unstoppable and should have no problems dominating a Houston defense that struggles in every aspect of the game.
3. Wali Lundy	Usually, a running back by committee situation is kryptonite for fantasy owners. But after Lundy's strong Week 7 performance and with the NFL's worst run defense on tap for this Sunday, it may be time to roll the dice and get him in the lineup.
4. Maurice Drew	ersatile rookie Drew will remind the Eagles of their teammate Brian Westbrook. The Jaguars have increasingly used Drew in all facets of the offense, much as the Eagles do with Westbrook. They need to get Drew matched up against the Eagles' questionable linebackers.
5. Ahman Green	Think the bye week did Green any good? With his hamstring sufficiently healed, Green busted a 70-yard TD run against a good Miami front seven last week, helping the Packers' improving offensive line author consecutive 100-yard performances for three different Green Bay backs.
1. Nate Washington	HOT WIDE RECEIVERS Washington might not be in for a big game against a physical defense, especially with the Steelers' quarterback issues. Washington has turned into a good deep threat, but Oakland CBs Namdi Asomugha, Fabian Washington and Stanford Routt are playing well because they are jostling receivers so much in man-to-man coverage.
2. Bryant Johnson	Johnson has proved to be more productive in the absence of WR Larry Fitzgerald than his past work would suggest. Johnson also is getting regular looks from QB Matt Leinart and will benefit from a decent amount of single coverage against overrated Green Bay CB Charles Woodson.
3. Reggie Brown	Brown should go to work off the play-action pass and have another big week. With TDs three games in a row, Brown has become almost a must-start, especially against a defense prone to giving up points in bunches such as Jacksonville.
1 . Owen Daniels	HOT TIGHT ENDS Daniels has just nine receptions on the season, but three have gone for touchdowns. Texans' QB David Carr looks Daniels' way inside the red zone -- the tight end is tied with WR Andre Johnson for the team lead in red-zone targets
1 . Giants Def/ST	HOT DEFENSES A Giants' pass rush that has been on an absolute rampage the past three weeks -- 16 sacks over that period -- will force Tampa's self-destructive rookie quarterback into frequent turnover opportunities.

Team	NFL WEEK 8 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Drew Bledsoe	NOT QUARTERBACKS If Dallas goes back to Bledsoe, his leash will be even shorter. Bledsoe would have trouble dealing with both Carolina's pass rush, led by DE Julius Peppers, and a ballhawking secondary that will be ready to jump all over the passes he has been telegraphing.
2. Jake Plummer	In Denver, WR Rod Smith is ancient, WR Javon Walker is new, the tight end position is a black hole, and the Broncos don't throw enough to allow Plummer to get into a rhythm.
1. Ron Dayne	NOT RUNNING BACKS After getting benched by coach Gary Kubiak last week, there's little reason for fantasy owners to expect much out of the struggling Dayne against Tennessee. Dayne could see some action as a backup.
2. Mike Bell	May get some touches, if Tatum Bell's Turf toe keeps acting up.
3. Maurice Morris	ot much is going right for Morris as he tries to fill in for injured RB Shaun Alexander. Seattle's offensive line typically has looked overwhelmed in Morris' three replacement starts and he has yet to average better than 3.2 yards a carry in any of those games.
4. DeShaun Foster	The Giants' Tiki Barber sprung loose for several big gains against Dallas last week, but Foster, involved in a physical game against Cincinnati, was unable to consistently move the chains. And if this game turns into a slugfest in the trenches, Foster will be the one who is beat up.
1. Derrick Mason	NOT WIDE RECEIVERS Mason has struggled to emerge this season and has only game with more than 50 receiving yards, despite his prior working relationship with QB Steve McNair when both were in Tennessee.
2. Antonio Bryant	He has the size, burst and route-running ability to get open against the Bears cover 2, and he can out-quick CB Charles Tillman or outmuscle undersized CB Nathan Vasher when Chicago is in man-to-man. Still, someone has to get Bryant the ball.
3. Lee Evans	Bye Week - get him out of your lineups.
1. Ben Troupe	NOT TIGHT END The emergence of the Titans' running game has meant more blocking, and fewer receiving opportunities, for Troupe. He remains a solid short-intermediate target for QB Vince Young but won't get the throws to make a fantasy impact.
1. Redskins Defense/ST	NOT DEFENSE Bye Week
2. Bills Defense/ST	Bye Week << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
