Galli's "Who's Hot" Picks:
Davone Bess, Miami Dolphins Wide Receiver
Miami at Cincinnati - 1 p.m. Paul Brown Stadium
- Brian Hartline's attention helps
- Production increases
- Could be an offensive shootout in Bengals nation
Owen Daniels, Houston Texans Tight End
Houston at New York Jets - 8:30 p.m. Monday Night Football @ MetLife Stadium
- New York Jets are awful
- Texans defense plus Arian Foster equals Red Zone opportunities
- Andre Johnson effect at wide receiver is huge
Brandon Weeden, Cleveland Browns Quarterback
Cleveland at New York Giants - 1 p.m. MetLife Stadium

- Browns not too bad despite their 0-4 start
- Little Giants in secondary
Solano's "Who's Not" Picks:
Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers Quarterback
Seattle at Carolina - 4:05 p.m. Bank of America Stadium
- Maturity Concerns; post-loss pity parties are growing old
- Seattle's defense allowed only 251 total rushing yards so far
- Sophomore slump: Newton has amassed 1,013 passing yards. At this same point last season, that total was 1,386
Rashard Medenhall, Pittsburgh Steelers Running Back
Philadelphia at Pittsburgh - 1 p.m. Heinz Field
- Wait and see what he does this week before starting him; we need to see his Fantasy League value

Mark Sanchez, New York Jets Quarterback
Houston at N.Y. Jets - 8:30 p.m. Monday Night Football @ MetLife Stadium
