Hot & Not Following Week 8'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 9 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Philip Rivers	HOT QUARTERBACKS Even if Rivers isn't very active against Cleveland, he'll make the shots he takes count. The Browns have a punchless pass rush, and they'll rely on overmatched CB Daven Holly to replace CB Gary Baxter.
2. Damon Huard	The efficient Huard will be a good play again as the Rams try to fill their defensive holes. Huard does not post great numbers, but he has been a strong play four of the last five weeks and the Rams are weak enough that Huard should do well again.
1. Mike Bell	HOT RUNNING BACKS Bell is back in the mix in Denver, and he could be the lead runner against Pittsburgh. RB Tatum Bell's turf toe could limit him this week (and beyond), and Mike Bell is coming off a huge day against Indianapolis. Of course, the Colts can't compare to the Steelers vs the run.
2. Wali Lundy	Two good games have put Lundy back in the mix of starters again. After a three-game benching, Lundy has returned to rush to rush for 209 yards in the last two games. He is worth considering this week.
3. Marion Barber	Barber has been arguably the most valuable backup running back in the NFL this season (and he's got some very stiff competition in the Year of the Time Share), and is averaging 5.1 YPC with six touchdowns in seven games.
4. Maurice Drew	His elusive running style has helped him earn more time on the field for the Jaguars, and his impressive receiving ability has earned him more time in fantasy lineups. Expect Jones-Drew to take advantage of a very weak Tennessee front seven, and put up respectable numbers. Somewhere around 90 total yards and a touchdown can be expected.
5. Steven Jackson	He's sure to get his touches, but his success depends on how effectively the Chiefs attack holes and wrap up. Jackson has been dancing at the line a little too much, but he should find room to run if he hits holes aggressively.
1. Michael Jenkins	HOT WIDE RECEIVERS Jenkins’ reliable hands earns him a steady spot in QB Michael Vick’s passing progressions. Vick’s passing improvement could help Jenkins become a more reliable fantasy receiver and two of his three TDs have come in the last two games, despite just five total catches in that time.
2. Chris Henry	Henry’s return last week from suspension allowed the Bengals to spread the field with more three-receiver sets. They have to be aggressive in the passing game against a struggling Baltimore secondary and Henry has been the team’s most reliable deep threat.
3. Doug Gabriel	Gabriel has emerged as Tom Brady's most dangerous wide receiver and the new Patriot should make a fantasy impact against one of the team's fiercest rivals.
1 . Desmond Clark	HOT TIGHT ENDS Clark, one of fantasy football's top tight ends, is a must-start against a Miami defense that will struggle to handle him in coverage. The Dolphins have faced just two tight ends in the same league as Clark -- the Steelers' Heath Miller and the Patriots' Ben Watson.
1 . Patriots Def/ST	HOT DEFENSES Counting on any fantasy defense -- even one as talented as the Patriots -- to shut down the Colts' offense is a risky proposition. The smart fantasy play is to find a better matchup.

Team	NFL WEEK 9 FANTASY FOOTBALL HOT & NOT PLAYERS
1. Byron Leftwich	NOT QUARTERBACKS Leftwich (ankle) will give way to QB David Garrard in Jacksonville's lineup for at least another week.
2. Matt Leinart	Bye Week and falling down the mountain quickly.
1. Lamont Jordan	NOT RUNNING BACKS The Raiders offensive line has been horrendous, and even if he starts for the "Silver and Black" Sunday, he shouldn't be starting for your fantasy team. Expect Jordan to share the load with Justin Fargas and will likely render himself useless in fantasy for yet another week.
2. Ron Dayne	Dayne has gone from his team’s starter to out of the discussion.
3. Maurice Morris	Neither Morris nor his offensive linemen have played very well in his starts. And when you consider that QB Matt Hasselbeck (knee) will sit again, giving the defense less to fear from Seattle's passing game, Morris looks like a third-rate fantasy option.
4. Dominic Rhodes	Rhodes has been lapped by rookie RB Joseph Addai and will have a difficult making an impact against a stout Patriots' run defense.
1. Braylon Edwards	NOT WIDE RECEIVERS Edwards has been awfully quiet lately, and the San Diego matchup could keep him silent another week.
2. Bryant Johnson	Bye Week this week, but you really should dump him permanently with Fitzgerald scheduled to be back next week.
3. Eric Moulds	Moulds is not much of a fantasy threat these days and should not be one of your top options. He has only three catches in each of the last two games and does not appear to be one of the high priority receivers in the Texans’ offense.
1. Alex Smith	NOT TIGHT END Smith does not get many looks but often does quite a bit with what he does get. He has only three catches in his last two games as the Bucs’ passing game has slowed down dramatically.
1. Cardinals Defense/ST	NOT DEFENSE Bye Week
2. Colts Defense/ST	If your using the Colts D you have some serious issues. << MORE FANTASY FOOTBALL NEWS/ARTICLES CLICK HERE >>
