1. Peyton Manning - His game vs. the Chiefs was an aberration. The Skins have one of the worst pass defenses in the league and Manning will once again light up the tote board. He’s the top ranked fantasy football QB this week.
2. Phillip Rivers - Rivers is well ahead of the pace of Dan Marino’s all-time single season passing mark through five weeks. He’ll put on another show in St. Louis with over 300 yards and 3 TDs.
3. Joe Flacco - The Patriots young secondary will have its hands full vs. the Ravens. Look for Flacco to put up over 300 yards and 3 TDs.
4. Eli Manning - The Giants passing game is hitting on all cylinders and Eli’s playmakers are making plays. This should be another 275 yard, 3 TD performance against an improving Lions D.
Next In Line
Donovan McNabb – He’s been putting up numbers all season and the Colts D is hardly imposing. No. 5 will top 250 with a few TDs.
Ben Roethlisberger - Welcome back Ben. You get to face one of the worst pass defenses in the game. He’ll top 250 yards with multiple scores.
Matt Schaub – The Giants corralled Schaub and Co. but he’ll find away to get going against a young Chiefs D.
Rounding Out the List
Brett Favre - The Cowboys are playing undisciplined ball and have holes in their secondary. Expect Favre to hook up with Moss and Harvin for a big day on Sunday.
Tony Romo – Romo will need to throw in order for Dallas to win. Expect him to target Miles Austin and Co. for a big afternoon.
Tom Brady - Baltimore can be hurt through the air (see Kyle Orton) and this is the only way the Patriots can attack Baltimore’s D.
Mark Sanchez – The Broncos have already ruled out three of their DBs and Sanchez will take multiple shots down the field… with success.
Drew Brees - His yards are up but something is missing. Look for the Saints passing game to find its rhythm against a suspect Tampa secondary.
Aaron Rodgers - Check back on his status later in the week. If healthy, he’s a must start and will torch the Dolphins secondary for 300 yards and a few TDs.
Fantasy Football Sleeper of the Week
Matt Cassel - The Houston Texans feature the worst pass D in football and were torched by Eli Manning and Co. in Week 5. Cassel’s an excellent fantasy sleeper in Week 6 and should top 250 yards with 2 or 3 TDs.

Cutler or Sanchez this week?

Both have strong starts: Cutler’s facing a mediocre Seahawks team while Sanchez is facing a Broncos D missing 3 members in the secondary. We’d side with Sanchez if only because one bad hit could put Cutler out again… but they’re pretty even overall.
