Football: Hot  Not"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the 5th week of the waiver wire\/who is hot and who is not column of the year, I thank everyone for reading and hopefully this will assist your team on the way to the playoffs.\u00a0 We will not list anyone who was on the list last week but if Bilal Powell or the Chiefs defense, are still out there please do yourself a favor and grab them.\u00a0 This is not a great week for a huge impact pickup more of bye week fill in\u2019s and a few speculative adds.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Hot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Peyton Manning- This is getting downright silly, make sure you do not have a defense playing him in any week.<\/li>\n<li>Arian Foster \u2013 He dominated the touched by over 4-1 last week, trade for him if possible.<\/li>\n<li>David Wilson \u2013 He got 70% of the carries last week, and gets the Eagles this week, plug him in.<\/li>\n<li>Philip Rivers \u2013 He is back to the the young fantasy stud he was in this new offense which fits perfectly to his talents.<\/li>\n<li>Jamar Charles \u2013 He does not get that many carries but is made up by the 10-11 pass targets he receives from the king of the check down in Alex Smith.<\/li>\n<li>Alex Smith \u2013 He may be king of the check downs but with the rushing yards he gets, it has made him the 10<sup>th<\/sup> overall player in standard leagues and one point behind Andrew Luck.<\/li>\n<li>Victor Cruz \u2013 Even in blowouts he is by far the most reliable target for Eli Manning who has a 72%\u00a0 completion percentage when throwing to him.<\/li>\n<li>Chiefs Defense \u2013 A team that went undrafted in most leagues is now a top 20 player with an awesome schedule the next few weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Jordan Cameron \u2013 A late round pick who is the #2 TE in the league and a favorite of Brian Hoyer.<\/li>\n<li>Kendrell Thompkins \u2013 He now has the trust of Tom Brady and is on pace for 10 Td\u2019s and 1,000 yards.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone playing the Eagles, Redskins, Giants, and Rams \u2013 If you have a guy playing any of these team they are a must start.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Who is not<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Maurice Jones Drew &#8211;\u00a0 He looked slow and sluggish but if you have him this may be your last chance for points versus the Rams but beware.<\/li>\n<li>Santonio Holmes \u2013 Another injury putting him out a few weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Stevie Johnson &#8211; \u00a0He put up a zero last week and is now getting the top CB on every team and with Manuel a little shaky, makes him a risky play.<\/li>\n<li>Bernard Pierce \u2013 Even with a hurt Rice, he did not take any advantage, he will only be startable with Rice is officially out.<\/li>\n<li>Eli Manning \u2013 He is on a historic interception pace, no reason for him to start after this week if you are stuck on a bye week.<\/li>\n<li>A.J Green \u2013 He is been way below average in \u00be games and is getting killed by the Andy Dalton inaccurate train.\u00a0 He has to be started but temper those expectations.<\/li>\n<li>Carson Palmer \u2013 Take out the Rams game and he is at the bottom of the NFL and doing a great job killing all Cardinals fantasy prospects.<\/li>\n<li>Doug Martin \u2013 He will see 8 in the box with a rookie QB, has caught 33% of his targets through the air, if you get a god offer, take it and run.<\/li>\n<li>Trent Richardson \u2013 He continue to plow away at 3 YPC and if he does not get a TD, his value is below average, not many lanes with the Colts as there was not with the Browns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Average Size Leagues Waiver Wire Pickups<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>David Wilson \u2013 I have seen him dropped in a few league, he will be better than your current bench players moving forward.<\/li>\n<li>Alshon Jeffrey \u2013 He is getting over 8 targets a game, a good bye week fill in.<\/li>\n<li>Robert Woods \u2013 17 targets the past 2 weeks, he will continue to get better and better.<\/li>\n<li>Jerome Simpson \u2013 You could do worse than him for a bye week fill in and his value is higher with Matt Cassel now the QB for the next few weeks.<\/li>\n<li>Tashard Choice \u2013 Keep an eye on the playing status of Spiller and Jackson.<\/li>\n<li>Nate Washington \u2013 He is always on this list every year but puts up solid number and should not be affected by the injury to Locker.<\/li>\n<li>Keenan Allen \u2013 He played more snaps than any other Chargers wide receiver last week.<\/li>\n<li>Willis McGahee \u2013 He got a few goal line carries and has a nice matchup versus the Bills this week.<\/li>\n<li>Terence Williams \u2013 Other than a fumble he had a nice 7 catch game last week replacing Austin.<\/li>\n<li>Danny Woodhead \u2013 If you need a bye week running back, you could do a lot worse than this PPR machine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Send me any questions or lineup decisions on Twitter \u2013<a
