6. Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Over the years, Ben Roethlisberger has been an inconsistent fantasy quarterback. But in Week 6, Big Ben has a home game against the Cleveland Browns. Expect a pair of TDs out of Roethlisberger.

5. Matt Schaub, Houston Texans
Since Week 1, Matt Schaub has been very good. This week he goes up against the Cincinnati Bengals. While the Bengals aren’t horrible, Schaub should produce.

4. Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
We saw what Donovan McNabb is capable of last week after coming off of injury. In Week 6 against the Oakland Raiders, McNabb will be good.

3. Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Even though the Saints are going against the rugged New York Giants, you have to think that Drew Brees will come ready to play.

2. Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Tom Brady has basically been a disappointment this season. That said, don’t expect him to be disappointing against the Tennessee Titans.

1. Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers has been deceptively very good this year. Add in the fact that he’s going up against the Detroit Lions and there should be fireworks for Rodgers in Week 6 of the 2009 fantasy football season.

QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
In Week 1, Ben Roethlisberger looked very good and was throwing the ball all around the field. But the Steelers will eventually start running more, which will lower Roethlisberger’s potential. Trade him now to a team struggling at QB.

RB Cadillac Williams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
I can’t imagine Cadillac Williams holding up for the entire 2009 fantasy football season. While he’s healthy, see what you can get on the trade market.

WR Nate Burleson, Seattle Seahawks
In Week 1, Nate Burleson was a big part of the Seahawks offense. But as the season goes along, you have to think that TJ Houshmandzadeh will take a bigger slice of that pie.

TE Ben Watson, New England Patriots
Sure, his two touchdowns were very impressive. But he doesn’t even start at tight end for the Patriots and he’s likely to once again become invisible in the fantasy world.

RB Earnest Graham, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Quietly, Earnest Graham has been very good since becoming a starter. This season, he is averaging over five and half yards per rush. He also has three touchdowns and is a threat to catch the ball out of the backfield. He doesn’t have great breakaway speed but he’s a solid football player who can produce for your fantasy football team.

WR Laveranues Coles, New York Jets
This season, Laveranues Coles has been thrust into the spotlight due to being one of Brett Favre’s main targets. The truth is, however, that Coles has been a very solid fantasy football wide receiver for a long while now. He makes up average size and average speed by having very good hands and running great routes.

TE Owen Daniels, Houston Texans
Many fantasy football owners overlook Owen Daniels because he hasn’t racked up many touchdowns over the last two seasons. What those owners are missing is that he has a very healthy amount of catches and receiving yards. And while it’d be great for him to have more touchdowns, those should come soon enough.

1. Tom Brady – Despite Brady’s injury, he remains on the top.
2. Tony Romo – With T.O. on his side, expect greatness.
3. Drew Brees – His value continues to rise in recent weeks.
4. Peyton Manning – With several question marks, Manning falls.
5. Carson Palmer – Palmer has a high ceiling but there is risk.
6. Ben Roethlisberger – Big Ben could surprise in 2008.
7. Derek Anderson – Another high risk, high reward selection.
8. Matt Hasselbeck – Expect another above average season.
9. David Garrard – Will try to build on his 2007 season.
10. Donovan McNabb – If healthy, McNabb is still capable.

Will Peyton Manning prove doubters wrong in 2008?

1. Tom Brady – Easy choice. He has Randy Moss on his side and should be great again.
2. Peyton Manning – Manning is one of the most reliable fantasy players of the last decade.
3. Tony Romo – Outside of Brady, no quarterback has a higher ceiling than Romo.
4. Drew Brees – After a slow start, Brees was again very good at the end of 2007.
5. Carson Palmer – Palmer is healthy and Ocho Cinco is mad. Good combination.
6. Derek Anderson – Anderson has great weapons in and up-and-coming offense.
7. Ben Roethlisberger – Big Ben is steady and has deceptively high potential.
8. Matt Hasselbeck – With a questionable running game, Hasselbeck will get the call.
9. Donovan McNabb – If healthy, McNabb could have another big year.
10. David Garrard – Garrard has more weapons and is coming off a great season.

Can Donovan McNabb stay healthy?

1) Tom Brady, New England Patriots
Is this even a question? Brady is playing better than any quarterback has played in NFL history. He’s on pace to shatter all types of records and he’s definitely a player you want on your fantasy team.

2) Peyton Manning, Indianapolis Colts
Manning was the preseason number one quarterback around the fantasy football world. While he’s nowhere near as valuable as Brady is right now, Manning is a very safe play week in and week out.

3) Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys
Romo has had a very strong season. He has great weapons on offense, specifically Terrell Owens and Jason Witten. He had a couple rough games but has bounced back brilliantly as of late.

4) Carson Palmer, Cincinnati Bengals
Palmer has had a disappointing season so far this year but he’s still highly valuable. He has his third wide receiver coming back this week in Chris Henry and his schedule gets very easy soon. He’s a good player to go to fantasy war with right now.

5) Derek Anderson, Cleveland Browns
Anderson has come out of nowhere to be a great fantasy player this season. If you were lucky enough to pick him up, you are no doubt riding his fantasy wave. While he’s not better than the players above him in this list, he’s as explosive as anyone south of Brady.

6) Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints
Brees was horrible to begin the season. He started the year with one touchdown and nine interceptions. Since that point, however, he’s been very good. Right now, he’s hot and should continue to become a better and better option as the year progresses.

7) Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers
Big Ben has had a nice fantasy season with his latest game against the Ravens being a nice exclamation point. He had five first half touchdowns and looked better than ever. The only downside you have here is the run-first offense of the Steelers.

8) Matt Hasselbeck, Seattle Seahawks
With Shaun Alexander looking like the worst running back in the NFL, that in theory gives Hasselbeck even more opportunities for touchdowns down the stretch of the season. His wide receivers are getting healthy and he could be in line for a big finish.

9) Brett Favre, Green Bay Packers
It’s tough to ignore what Favre is doing. He’s having a better fantasy season than anyone could have imagined. His schedule is pretty easy down the stretch run so he should be able to continue at his current level.

10) Donovan McNabb, Philadelphia Eagles
While McNabb has had a relatively ugly fantasy season, he’s still a pretty good quarterback to be leading your team. When you start him, you know that he’s going to get a chance to throw a lot of passes. There’s a possibility that McNabb could get going and become an elite QB down the stretch run of the season.
