Fantasy Football Week 6: Calvin Johnson and the Best WRs for Touchdowns

It's always nice when your fantasy football receivers get a lot of yards, but we all know that scoring touchdowns is their ultimate purpose.

If your fantasy receivers aren't putting six up on the scoreboard on a week-in, week-out basis, chances are you are losing your fantasy league.

It's not a knock on your guys as much as it is a reality of fantasy football.

We know quarterbacks are going to put up points and we know running backs will get yardage, but it's the touchdown scoring receivers that will put you over the edge in any given matchup.

With that in mind, here are the three best fantasy receivers in that regard:

Calvin Johnson, Lions

Johnson is arguably the best receiver in the game. He is undoubtedly the best touchdown-scoring receiver in the NFL. In five games he has nine touchdowns, which equaled out to two a game and then only one on Monday Night Football. They don't call him Megatron for nothing, he's good for at least once score a week.

Wes Welker, New England Patriots

Welker is on fire right now, and it helps that he has Tom Brady throwing to him every week. So far Welker has put up 740 yards and five touchdowns, which means he's not just a touchdown scorer, but he's good in PPR leagues as well.

Greg Jennings, Packers

If Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is looking towards the end zone, chances are Greg Jennings will be on the receiving end of that pass. He's put up four touchdowns so far this season, and even though he's dealing with an injury this week, he should be a lock against the Rams.
