Week 6 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Tony Romo and the 8 QBs You Must Start

Let's take a look at some of the quarterbacks who could put up big numbers in Week 6 and should be must starts in all fantasy football leagues:

Aaron Rodgers, Packers

The Rams could be 4-0 and this would still be a great matchup. The way it actually stands, St. Louis is winless and reeling on the defensive side of the ball. Rodgers is the hottest player in the game and a candidate for 400 yards every week.

Cam Newton, Panthers

There's no denying what Newton is accomplishing in Carolina. The rookie quarterback nearly shocked the Saints at home last week, and he gets a Falcons defense that gave up almost 400 yards to Rodgers in a devastating loss. Add in that he has five rushing scores on the season and is the Panthers designated goal line back, and you get a monster fantasy quarterback almost every week. 

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers

The ankle looked plenty fine Sunday against the Titans, as Roethlisberger threw a career-high five touchdowns in a Steelers' win. He faces a Jaguars defense that is decent against the pass but can be exploited. With Rashard Mendenhall still not 100 percent, expect the Steelers to do plenty of passing.  

Tom Brady, Patriots

Brady threw another interception on Sunday, which gives him six already in 2011. He had four all of last season. Still, he remains one of the top throwers in the league and should give the Dallas secondary fits. On the day, 300 yards and a couple scores are well within reach.

Drew Brees, Saints

Brees has thrown for fewer than 350 yards just once this season, and he still hit 270 in that contest. The five interceptions in three games is troubling, but no one consistently puts up the big numbers like Brees. The Bucs are still scratching their heads after a 45-point loss, too.   

Tony Romo, Cowboys

Say what you want about Romo and his "clutch gene," but the matchup against the Patriots defense is one that favors the Cowboys. Romo versus Brady will be one of the better matchups in Week 6, and there should be plenty of aerial fireworks. 

Matthew Stafford, Lions

If there is a defense that is playing better than the 49ers right now, I'd like to see it. Stafford will get San Fran on a short week, too, as the Lions play tonight against the Bears. However, the 49ers haven't seen a combination like Stafford and Megatron, and Stafford has earned a level of fantasy confidence by now. 

Michael Vick, Eagles

There's no doubting his struggles this season, but Vick is always a candidate for huge numbers. There is going to be some serious desperation as the Eagles attempt to avoid their fifth straight loss in Washington. Even if the turnovers continue, Vick will get the opportunity to fill the stat sheet.
