Keeping close tabs on which players are preforming at a high level (Fire) and which players are really struggling (Ice) can help make your fantasy football draft and starting lineup decisions easier. To help you through this process I will create a weekly Top 10 Fire and Ice list for your reference.
FIRE
These ten players are playing at a very high level right now and in most cases greatly exceeding expectations. The questions you need to ask yourself are…..Can these guys keep it up? Or are they just putting up big stats in meaningless games?
Colt McCoy, QB, Cleveland Browns Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers Tim Hightower, RB, Washington Redskins Andre Johnson, WR, Houston Texans Sam Bradford, QB, St. Louis Rams Roy Helo, RB, Washington Redskins Ray Rice, RB, Baltimore Ravens Plaxico Burress, WR, New York Jets Dwayne Bowe, WR, Kansas City Chiefs Evan Moore, TE, Cleveland Browns
ICE
These ten players are really struggling so far this preseason and not playing up to their abilities. The questions you need to ask yourself are…..Can these players bounce back and return to form? Or is this an indication of things to come?
Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos Tarvaris Jackson, QB, Seattle Seahawks Anthony Armstrong, WR, Washington Redskins C.J. Spiller, RB, Buffalo Bills David Garrard, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars Sidney Rice, WR, Seattle Seahawks Kevin Boss, TE, Oakland Raiders Kenny Britt, WR, Tennessee Titans Michael Turner, RB, Atlanta Falcons Steven Jackson, RB, St. Louis Rams
