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. Week 13 Hot & Not Players are next...

Team	FANTASY FOOTBALL WHO'S HOT - AFTER WEEK 12
Brian Westbrook RB - PHI:	Week 13 Outlook: With Philadelphia headed toward a more run-heavy approach, Westbrook is almost sure to have more days like last week (season highs of 21 carries and 117 yards, plus a TD). The Eagles will have to be careful not to overwork the undersized back
Joe Jurevicius, WR - SEA:	Week 13 Outlook: Jurevicius figures to draw a good amount of single coverage against a blitz-happy Philadelphia defense, and you can bet Seattle will work to get him matched up with injured CB Lito Sheppard's replacement, CB Roderick Hood.
David Akers K - PHI:	Week 13 Outlook: Philadelphia will have more trouble moving the offense into scoring position now that QB Donovan McNabb, WR Terrell Owens, OT Tra Thomas and C Hank Fraley all are out of the equation.
Todd Heap TE - BAL:	Week 13 Outlook: Todd Heap is quietly having an excellent season. He has 52 catches and four touchdowns and seems to be finding a rhythm with Kyle Boller of late. Houston's safety play has been atrocious and a player like Heap will find room throughout the secondary.
Andre Johnson, WR - HOU:	Week 13 Outlook: Despite an awful first half of the season, Andre Johnson has begun to assert himself more in Houston's offense. He still only has one touchdown this season, but the Texans are doing a much better job of getting him the football.
Deion Branch, WR - NE:	Week 13 Outlook: Branch is clearly Tom Brady's go-to guy, regardless of down or distance. Last week against the Chiefs, Brady targeted Branch 12-times, by far the most of any Patriots' receiver.
Trent Green, QB - KC:	Week 13 Outlook: Denver matches up well with Kansas City's weapons at most spots, especially when CB Champ Bailey is able to neutralize TE Tony Gonzalez one-on-one. But few quarterbacks are as accurate as Green or consistently find the open man when given enough time.
Jake Plummer, QB - DEN:	Week 13 Outlook: Plummer has been more caretaker than playmaker this season, though that could change against a Kansas City team whose offense can score in bunches and whose run defense seems to have toughened up considerably since these teams last met in Week 3.
Torry Holt, WR - ST.L:	Week 13 Outlook: Even with rookie Ryan Fitzpatrick under center, Holt remains a viable fantasy starter. Though he is likely to struggle at times with the Redskins' aggressive blitz packages and varied coverage looks, Fitzpatrick should be able to successfully target Holt
Jeremy Shockey TE - NYG:	Week 13 Outlook: Shockey is one of Eli Manning's most popular receiving targets- Manning threw Shockey's way 16-times last week- and should pose a major problem for Dallas' defense.

Team	FANTASY FOOTBALL WHO'S NOT HOT - FOLLOWING WEEK 12
Jay Feely, K - NYG:	Week 13 Outlook: Is he even on a roster after last week? It's hard to see Feely getting many field goal tries thanks to the Giants' dynamic offense. It isn't likely that New York will be stopped in the red zone- look elsewhere for a kicker.
Marion Barber, RB - DAL:	Week 13 Outlook: Barber has convinced Bill Parcells that he deserves carries, even with Julius Jones back in the lineup. Though Jones remains the number one back and will get the bulk of the carries, Barber will be a factor in the running game, including in the red zone.
Brett Favre, QB - GB	Week 13 Outlook: Green Bay will want to establish the run game to create manageable down-and-distance situations, slow Chicago's pass rush and set up play action--maybe Favre's only chance against a voracious Bears defense with a skeleton crew receiver corps.
BROWNS DST:	Week 13 Outlook: The Browns' 28th ranked run defense will struggle to slow down Jacksonville's rushing attack. Regardless of who is running the ball for the Jags, Cleveland is simply out manned in their front seven.
Kevin Jones, RB - DET	Week 13 Outlook: Jones (quadriceps) remains questionable for the Vikings' game after leaving Detroit's Thanksgiving Day game early. Minnesota ranks in the top half of the NFL in rushing defense and the Lion's lackluster passing game should allow SS Darren Sharper to play closer to the line as an extra linebacker.
Travis Taylor, WR - MIN:	Week 13 Outlook: Taylor has been Brad Johnson's most reliable target along the perimeter. However, in Minnesota's conservative passing game Johnson doesn't take many downfield chances and Taylor's number suffer as a result.
Brandon Stokley, WR - IND:	Week 13 Outlook: Stokley has been the forgotten man in Indianapolis' offense this season, and that isn't likely to change until some Colts opponent discovers the elusive answer--assuming there is one--to stopping the juggernaut offense.
Drew Bennett, WR - TEN:	Week 13 Outlook: Bennett, who has only adequate downfield speed, might disappoint his owners unless Tennessee falls behind and gets to work against softer coverages later in the game.
Randy McMichael, TE - MIA:	Week 13 Outlook: McMichael remains a risky fantasy start because of the presence of Gus Frerotte under center, especially in a game in which Nick Saban is going to emphasize the run.
JP Losman, QB - BUF:	Week 13 Outlook: Miami's front seven does a great job of pressuring the quarterback- the Dolphins are 5th in the NFL with 33-sacks- and Losman will have difficulty sitting in the pocket and waiting for his receivers to get open.
SAINTS DST	Week 13 Outlook: The Saints' 29th-ranked run defense is going to get a huge dose of RB Cadillac Williams all afternoon. The rookie running back looks like his old self, which is dangerous.
Michael Clayton, WR - TB:	Week 13 Outlook: Michael Clayton has yet to catch a touchdown pass this season and looks nothing like he did as a rookie. He is a very tough player that looks as though he has been playing injured all season long.
