The Counselor is IN:
The Fantasy Sports Counselor, this sports blog, is partnering with the Fantasy Sports Blog. The Fantasy Sports Blog will be aggregating the content of this blog. The Fantasy Sports Counselor will be syndicated. This arrangement should benefit both of our blogs. I am very excited to announce this new arrangement.

Who is Hot?
QB Drew Brees was steaming hot last weekend. He went 26 for 30 and 320 yards. He had 3 touchdowns.
RB Clinton Portis was smoking hot. He ran for 129 yards on 21 carries. He had 2 touchdowns. Portis is starting to look like his old self more and more.
WR Andre Johnson was flaming hot. He had 10 receptions for 178 yards and 1 touchdown. Amazing what leaving
Who is Lukewarm?
RB Domic Rhodes was lukewarm. He had 25 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown. Domic is replacing Addai and did a decent job on his first week back as a starter.
QB Matt Schaub was lukewarm. He put up some big numbers. He threw for 379 yards with a passing TD and rushed for another TD. He only went 22 for 42 attempts.
WR Jerricho Cotchery was lukewarm. He received 8 catches for 85 yards. Cotchery is the top WR for Favre. He did not perform badly but just did not perform studly.
Who is Cold?
RB Willis McGahee is freezer cold. He rushed for 18 yards on 8 attempts. He did not score. He went from a top level rusher a couple of years ago to an ice cold runner.
The Cowboys Offensive Line was icy cold. Romo was knocked down 20+ times. They gave up a field goal block (which was negated with a time out) and a blocked punt. Bring out the cheerleaders to block because they would have protected more like men.

Here are the Week 6 fantasy injuries and my commentary.
Cardinals:
TE Jerame Tuman is questionable with a hamstring injury. He was limited in practice this week. He is the third string guy so he has not fantasy value.
Falcons:
WR Laurent Robinson has a sprained knee and is questionable. He has limited to no fantasy value.
WR Roddy White is questionable with a concussion. He had a hit to the head in Wednesday's practice.
TE Justin Peelle has a knee injury and is probable. He is getting some playing time but not enough to start in your fantasy league.
Ravens:
RB Willis McGahee has a sore ribs and a knee and is questionable. He has not had any contact during practice. He is practicing and I expect him to play this weekend.
Bills:
Off Week 6
Panthers:
WR Ryne Robinson has a knee injury and has been placed on the Injured Reserve.
WR D.J. Hackett is out with a sprained MCL.
Bears:
WR Brandon Lloyd is questionable with a sore knee. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
