Who's Hot and Who's Not! (Week 9)

Who's Hot
Colin Kaepernick

I'm going out on a limb here, but given that he is facing New Orleans this week, and he seems to always do at least a little damage on the ground.  I think Kaep will be a top 5 QB this week, and he has a very high floor.

Davante Adams

Davante Adams has been getting TONS of receptions, and if this trend continues I think he easily fits into the WR2 category.  Must start in my opinion given the volume of targets.  If he can snag a catch in the end zone, he definitely will put up WR1 stats.

Michael Thomas

Michael Thomas managed to put up decent numbers last week, even though he was playing a stingy Seattle defense.  I was actually impressed by his numbers and have a lot of confidence in Thomas, especially with Drew Brees at the helm.  If he isn't on a roster in your league pick him up ASAP and if you have him, DON'T BENCH HIM.

Eric Ebron

Like Kaepernick, this is more of a long shot pick.  I think Ebron will have a good week because he is just such a big target in the red zone.  With the Vikings looking a little sloppier as of late, hopefully Detroit can capitalize and get Ebron some looks.  Look for Ebron as a spot start if you have someone like Jordan Reed or Gronk on a bye this week.

Who's Not
Todd Gurley

The Panthers defense looked good against the run last week, and I think they have some momentum.  This doesn't help a struggling Gurley, and his woes will continue.  I am still steering clear of the Gurley train as I was before my draft.

Devontae Booker

Devontae Booker will be good this week if he scores a touchdown.  Other than that I don't see him doing much of anything.  He was less than impressive last week averaging a measly 2.8 Yards Per Carry.  That being said, he just gets so many carries that he could score a TD.

Jay Ajayi

Here is my bold prediction for the Who's Not section.  I am not 100% on board with this prediction, but it's just a gut feeling.  I think the Jay Ajayi train gets slowed down in New York and he rushes for less than 80 yards.  Let the games begin in this AFC East rivalry matchup.
