Fantasy Football Week 6 Rankings: Drew Brees and 3 QBs That Will Come Up Big

If you do not have one of these quarterbacks heading into Week 6’s fantasy football week, well, you probably will not win your game.  

Here’s the worse part, if you happen to be playing one of these quarterbacks this week, your chances of winning are close to slim-to-none. You will need to have career games from the rest of your team to overcome your shortcomings from the quarterback position. That is, unless that person you’re playing just so happens to have a team that was either decimated by injuries or was drafted on auto-draft.  

The quarterback position is the most important spot on your roster. They touch the ball on every play. A normal scoring day from the position is two or more touchdowns, and it’s the one position that can single-handily win you a game.  

These three quarterbacks will all have games of 250 or more passing yards with three touchdown throws.  

Start these quarterbacks with extreme confidence this week. 

Drew Brees

Brees is a must-start every single week, no matter who his opponent is. This year he’s playing at a high level that owners are accustomed to from him. He’s among the leaders in passing touchdowns (12), passing yards (1,769) and he doesn’t throw interceptions (5).  

This week, Brees will be going up against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers team that ranks 20th in defending the pass this year, giving up on average 254 yards per game.  

Tampa is coming into this game after giving up multiple touchdown games to lesser talented quarterbacks in Indianapolis’ Curtis Painter and San Francisco's Alex Smith.  

Start Brees this week and watch him go off for 300 yards and four touchdowns.

Aaron Rodgers

Just like Brees, Rodgers is a must-start every week and is up there with Brees among the league leaders in the NFL for passing. He is not only having a good season, but he’s on pace to have a career year. Through five games he has 14 touchdowns and 1,721 yards.  

This week, his Packers play host to the winless St. Louis Rams. That’s a Rams team that comes into this game ranked a respectable 13th in passing defense, but ranked dead last in rushing defense.  

If Rodgers can only throw one touchdown pass, it will be his strong ability to run outside of the pocket that will get Rodgers’ owners to the 20-point range.  

Expect an 250-yard passing day with one touchdown but 80 yards rushing and one to two rushing touchdowns. 

Mark Sanchez

This one is the stretch for those owners that have been let down by their quarterback or have one on a bye week this week. 

Sanchez had two good games this year, throwing for over 300 yards. His Jets team ranks last in rushing offense, and the Jets are playing a Dolphins team that ranks last in passing defense.

Give Sanchez a roster spot for on your team and start him pronto.  

Three quarterbacks that will lead three separate teams to victories this week. Give these quarterbacks all starts and thank me later when they put up huge numbers on Sunday and Monday.
