Week 6 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Drew Brees & Star QBs Who Will Be Touchdown Machines

Fantasy football is all about having players who score touchdowns, that's how leagues are won. But don't forget the NFL is a passing league these days, so make sure you start a good quarterback this week.

Week 6 of the NFL season has many star quarterbacks with favorable matchups and will see them throw multiple touchdowns.

Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Flacco, Tony Romo and Drew Brees are facing defenses they are capable of having big fantasy performances against.

Let's look at three star quarterbacks who will be touchdown machines this week.

1) Drew Brees

Drew Brees is leading the 4-1 New Orleans Saints against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week, who are allowing about 255 passing yards per game this season.

Brees has done a great job spreading the ball around to all his receivers and backs this season, with 1,769 yards passing and 12 touchdowns thus far.

Without a great running game and a favorable matchup against a poor pass defense, Drew Brees is sure to throw for at least two touchdowns this week.

2) Tony Romo

Tony Romo might crumble in the fourth quarter and cost the Dallas Cowboys a much needed win this week against the New England Patriots, but he will have a good fantasy day regardless of his team's result.

The Patriots' horrid pass defense is one of the worst in all of football, and have been allowing a lot of passing yards to average quarterbacks like Miami's Chad Henne.

Romo will benefit from the healthy return of star wide receiver Miles Austin, and along with dependable targets Dez Bryant and tight end Jason Witten, he will have a big passing day in Week 6.

Three touchdowns for Romo is a fair expectation for him on Sunday.

3) Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers rookie quarterback has had a very good season, and has surprised many by his abilities with only one quality wideout in Steve Smith.

Cam Newton is a fantasy stud not only because he passes for a lot of yards and touchdowns, he's also a threat to run the ball and accumulate rushing yards and touchdowns.

Against the Atlanta Falcons this week, Newton faces a bad pass defense that cannot cover anyone and has trouble getting to the quarterback.

It's a great matchup for Newton, who will have a big fantasy day, once again, versus the Falcons.
