Week 6 Rankings: Quarterbacks

Hit-or-miss week of byes with QBs. Luckily, no major QBs have gotten hurt (sorry, Cassel/Locker owners). Not included: Saints, Panthers, Bears, Jags, Locker, Cassel.

Your starting 28 QBs for Week 6 (and one backup! I know, I'm too nice):

Rank	Quarterback	Opp	Comments
1	Matt Ryan	OAK	My pick for this year's MVP. Oakland can't stop anybody and the Falcons will certainly take advantage of that.
2	Aaron Rodgers	@HOU	With a full week of "Is the Packers offense actually average?" should be more than enough to get him going.
3	Peyton Manning	@SD	Great game against the Pats last week and hopefully they'll start running less after the fumbles.
4	Tom Brady	@SEA	I don't care how good a defense is, you don't sit Brady and you don't doubt playing him. Don't do it.
5	Ben Roethlisberger	@TEN	Widely underrated and while I'm not a fan, I'm certainly a believer. He's going to scorch this defense.
6	Robert Griffin III	MIN	If healthy, it's tough to sit him considering his potential. If he plays smarter, his numbers could even go up.
7	Eli Manning	@SF	Niners defense will make them have to throw and while he may toss a few picks, he'll top 450 yards this week.
8	Matthew Stafford	@PHI	Phily's pass defense is a little overrated and Kevin Kolb had his best day as a Cardinal against them. Come on.
9	Philip Rivers	DEN	I had a debate with a buddy of mine whether Rivers was still top-ten or not. This week, he'll prove that he still is.
10	Michael Vick	DET	If the pass rush gets to him there's going to be trouble, but Lions secondary is atrocious and getting worse.
11	Tony Romo	@BAL	Romo is coming off a bye week coming off a 5-INT game. That's by far as bad as it will get. I promise.
12	Andrew Luck	@NYJ	Has proven that he's not just hype. He's the real deal and this makeshift Jets D showed up at the worst time.
13	Matt Schaub	GB	Can get it done against a beatable defense and he's blessed with an incredible offensive line.
14	Kevin Kolb	BUF	Expect a big day from Kolb here against the worst defense vs. fantasy QBs. Having no run game might finally help.
15	Christian Ponder	@WSH	Has the rare luxury of playing a Redskins D that gives up the fourth-most to QBs and eighth-LEAST to RBs.
16	Andy Dalton	@CLE	Cleveland gives up the fifth-most points to opposing QBs and the run game has slowed down.
17	Joe Flacco	DAL	Cowboys defense had their only bad pass defense game against Chicago, they'll fix their problems.
18	Alex Smith	NYG	The NFL's highest-rated QB will continue his success, but don't expect crazy numbers out of him.
19	Josh Freeman	KC	Still feel like this is too low. This is a tasty matchup for someone who'll sling it downfield to VJax a ton.
20	Carson Palmer	@ATL	Falcons defend the pass a whole lot better than the run, but he could throw up numbers in garbage time.
21	Mark Sanchez	IND	He's got an expiration date, but he's facing a far-from-stellar Colts defense and should be getting his TE back.
22	Ryan Tannehill	STL	He's showing more and more that he can be a competent QB in but he'll put up average numbers this week.
23	Sam Bradford	@MIA	He's going to get killed by that Fins pass rush. Plus no Amendola. Plus they won't be able to run.
24	Ryan Fitzpatrick	@ARI	Start him, but prepare for 200 yards, 1 TD, 3 INTs and a fumble. That's right, I just predicted a full statline.
25	Brandon Weeden	CIN	It's not a bad matchup but they'll be running too much for him to be a statistical factor.
26	Matt Hasselbeck	PIT	He's a better pocket passer than Locker but lack of mobility hinders his ability to make plays. Bad matchup.
27	Tim Tebow	IND	It's not a question of IF he'll get the job, it's WHEN. Any week could be the one now.
28	Russell Wilson	NE	I would hate the idea of having Wilson as my team's QB, let alone my fantasy team. Stay away.
29	Brady Quinn	@TB	If this is what your fantasy season has come to, you need to attend on of these. Seriously though.
