Fantasy Football Week 6 Quarterback Rankings: Kyle Orton Checks in at No. 5

Week 6 presents some interesting matchups, along with some interesting rankings (Mr. Rodgers, I'm looking at you).  So let's get to it, shall we?

Rank	Player Name	Opponent	Notes
1.	Peyton Manning	@ WAS	Redskins giving up 17 fantasy points to QBs on average.
2.	Philip Rivers	@ STL	Should get his points early and often.
3.	Tony Romo	@ MIN	DAL defense is bad, plenty of chances for Romo to throw.
4.	Drew Brees	@ TB	Brees must get offense back on track v. weakened secondary.
5.	Kyle Orton	v. NYJ	Jets surprisingly giving up 14 fantasy points to QBs.
6.	Tom Brady	v. BAL	Brady will throw early and often in new offense.
7.	Eli Manning	v. DET	Probably won't throw too much if running game gets going.
8.	Aaron Rodgers	v. MIA	If Rodgers isn't fuzzy, should find the end zone at least twice.
9.	Ben Roethlisberger	v. CLE	Should find success, but likely won't be called upon often.
10.	Jay Cutler	v. SEA	Seahawks giving up big numbers to QBs.
11.	Matt Schaub	v. KC	Chiefs giving up yards in passing game, plus AJ is back.
12.	Joe Flacco	@ NEP	Inconsistent, but Patriots secondary is inexperienced.
13.	Donovan McNabb	v. IND	Likely trailing, so plenty of chances to chuck the rock.
14.	Brett Favre	v. DAL	Plays much better in domes, but elbow an issue.
15.	Matt Cassel	@ HOU	Chiefs will have to get it done through the air.
16.	Matt Ryan	@ PHI	Ryan still not playing great on the road.
17.	Vince Young	@ JAX	Jaguars giving up 21 fantasy points to QBs, most in NFL.
18.	Kevin Kolb	v. ATL	Falcons defense only giving up eight fantasy points per game to QBs.
19.	Mark Sanchez	@ DEN	Showing signs of regression, and run game is spectacular.
20.	Josh Freeman	v. NOS	Passing game is clicking and productive.
