25. Ryan Kerrigan – LB, Washington

In his last three games Kerrigan has amassed 17 tackles and 2.5 sacks for the ‘Skins. He also forced a fumble in last week’s contest. He flies all over the field and is the best player on Washington’s defense. Despite his heating up, the ‘Skins are stumbling and lost all three of their last three games — and four in a row.

Hottest Game: Week 6 (0.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 9 total tackles)

24. Antrel Rolle – SS, New York (Giants)

Rolle has put together a pretty good year for the G-Men and he’s really been stepping up as of late. In the last three weeks he’s intercepted two passes and made 17 tackles. He returned one of his interceptions 39 yards and has been one of the Giants’ top playmakers.

23. Terrance Williams – WR, Dallas

The Cowboys’ number two wide receiver has come on strong in recent weeks. Over the last three games he’s caught three touchdowns and put up at least 70 receiving yards in each game. He’s consistent and a major reason why Dallas’ offense is clicking on all cylinders.

Hottest Game: Week 4 (6 receptions, 2 touchdowns, 77 receiving yards)

22. Arian Foster – RB, Houston

In the last two weeks the Texans’ starting running back has ran for a combined 266 yards on the ground and an impressive four touchdowns. He barely played in week 4, but has excelled since. Although, his heroic efforts couldn’t quite secure wins for the Texans. Look for a big rest of the month from him.

Hottest Game: Week 5 (2 touchdowns, 157 rushing yards, 6.8 yards per rush)

21. Jerraud Powers – CB, Arizona

The Cardinals’ cornerback has come on strong in the last couple weeks. Since week 5 he’s intercepted two passes and defended two others. In his last three games he’s made 15 total tackles and seems to be coming into his own. Arizona is 2-1 over its last three games and Powers has been a big asset for this team.
