Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings: Josh Freeman and the 3 Worst QBs

We are fully aware of the top fantasy quarterbacks each week, but who are the guys you must stay away from or even consider dropping?

In Week 6, a few signal-callers cannot be in your starting lineup.

It's that simple. 

Josh Freeman

Many fantasy owners drafted Freeman with high hopes that he'd mature into an elite fantasy quarterback.

He led his team to a 10-6 record last season and threw 25 touchdowns and only six interceptions. However, the maturation process has slowed considerably at the start of this season. 

Freeman has three touchdown tosses and a whopping six interceptions. His matchup this week against the susceptible New Orleans Saints defense is somewhat favorable, don't get me wrong, it's just that the Bucs offense has shown little to no explosiveness this year. 

I'd bench him. 

Curtis Painter

Yes, some people picked up Painter when news of Manning being essentially done for the year struck and think they may be on to something after the former Purdue Boilermakers solid performance last week. 

Not so fast. 

The Bengals defense he's facing this week can generate pressure without blitzing and will consistently stop the run. That means a lot of 3rd-and-longs for Painter that could result in interceptions. 

Bad matchup this week in Cincinnati.

Rex Grossman

Rex has been the old Rex in his last two games, and I fully expect the Redskins to establish the running game against the matador Eagles run defense. 

Philadelphia was stymieing against the Bills receivers last week, and their secondary's immense talent is starting to show. 

Not the week to take a flier on Grossman. 

Honorable Mention: Jay Cutler, Colt McCoy and Matt Schaub
