In his last eight games against the Bills, Brady has throw 21 touchdowns (3 TDs/game). He knows how to beat this defense, and even though they have improved in recent years, Tom Terrific will still have another strong game against his division foe.

14. Branden Oliver Will Have Another Big Game

With Donald Brown out this week with a concussion, Oliver will be left as the main back in San Diego. He racked up 114 rushing yards and 68 receiving yards last week to go along with two touchdowns. The UB product will tear up the Oakland defense this weekend and have another huge fantasy outing.

13. Emmanuel Sanders Will Have Another 100-Yard Game

Sanders has eclipsed 100 yards in three straight games. He has flourished on the outside in Denver and QB Peyton Manning has complete trust in the wideout. Look for him to have another 100-yard outing in Week 6 against the lackluster NY secondary.

12. QB Mike Glennon Will Throw 3 TDs

Glennon has thrown two touchdowns in both of his starts this season and "The Neck" has brought a vertical element to the team’s passing game. The Ravens are 27th in the league against the pass and should allow Glennon to toss a few TDs this week in Tampa.

11. Toby Gerhart Will Finish With Under 25 Yards

Gerhart was a popular sleeper this offseason, but he has been a disaster this season. He hasn't had a game with more than 45 rushing yards and the former Viking is averaging a meager 2.6 yards per carry. He suddenly has a lot of competition in the backfield and another rough outing just seems to likely.

Update: Gerhart has been ruled out for Week 6

10. Andy Dalton Will Finish With Under 250 Yards

Since throwing for 301 yards in the season opener, Dalton has averaged a meager 208.3 yards per game. Now factor in that he will likely be missing top WR A.J. Green and Dalton will once again struggle to rack up yards this Sunday.

Nelson seems to score a long TD every week. He caught an 80-yard bomb in Week 2 against the Jets and 66-yard TD in Week 5 against the Vikes. He will see plenty of targets again this week, so don’t be surprised to see him haul in another TD over 50 yards.

8. Julio Jones Will Have 100 Yards

Jones has hauled in 80 yards in every single game in 2014. He has quickly bounced back from a foot injury that cost him 11 games in 2013 and has become one of the elite wideouts in fantasy. Jones will easily post another 100 yards in Week 6.

7. Jay Cutler Will Throw 3 TDs

Cutler has 13 touchdowns on the year, including at least two touchdowns in every game this season. His wideouts are getting healthier by the day and the Cutter should benefit by having another 3-TD effort.

6. Steven Jackson Will Score Another TD

After weeks of going through the motions, Jackson has started to come out of his shell. He has scored a touchdown in two of the last three games and stands to be a threat to score this weekend against a depleted Chicago defense.

5. Tony Romo Will Throw 2 Picks

Romo faces the Seattle Seahawks and the Legion of Boom this Sunday afternoon, which never bodes well for the fantasy value of an opposing quarterback. Romo has been prone to turning the ball over on occasion, so expect him to toss a couple of picks in Week 6.

4. Andre Williams Will Have 100 All-Purpose Yards

The injury to Rashad Jennings leaves Williams in sole control of the starting gig. He is a powerful downhill runner, who doesn’t shy away from contact. Williams will see over 20 touches in this game and should have no problem finishing with over 100 all-purpose yards in Week 6.

3. Philly’s Defense Will Score Another TD

Philly has shockingly scored seven defensive/special teams touchdowns this season, including five in the past two games alone. It may extremely bold to predict another, but this unit is playing too good to bet against them now.

2. LeSean McCoy Will Have Another Rough Game

It is no secret that McCoy is having a miserable season. He hasn’t had a single 100-yard performance and hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 2. He has always had a tough time against the G-Men, as he has posted fewer than 50 yards in three straight games versus the division foe, so expect another rough outing from Shady in Week 6.

1. Peyton Manning Will Throw 4 TDs

Manning torched the Cards last weekend for the tune of 479 yards and four TDs. Considering that Manning will tee off against the lackluster Jets secondary in Week 6, the five-time MVP could easily have another 4-TD outburst this weekend.
