We had points coming out of our ears last week in the NFL, and that scoring frenzy also led to some lofty Fantasy Football rewards as another lucky winner took a step closer to heading off to the Super Bowl in New York.

Week six picks

We've got another good couple of games coming your way live on Sunday, with the Packers in Baltimore and Saints in New England giving us a look at four Super Bowl winning quarterbacks - so that is probably the place to look for your wildcard. Aaron Rodgers is a star but the Ravens defence will be tough, likewise with Joe Flacco who does not have too many weapons at his disposal this year, so Drew Brees has to get the nod after a superb season. The Pats have a decent record against QBs this season but the best they've faced is Matt Ryan for the stuttering Falcons. For your team proper, it's hard not to pick Peyton Manning as he gets the dream match-up at home against the Jaguars, but if there is one note of caution it could be that Denver could, and should, be so far ahead so quickly that Manning could be pulled out of the game before he has had time to do maximum damage. For that reason maybe go with Tony Romo, who managed to outdo Manning in fantasy terms if not in reality last week, and he gets a friendly home tie with the Redskins up Sunday, and with Dallas themselves being quarterback friendly it could be another shoot out. If we're in for another Texas shootout, then the likes of Dez Bryant, Jason Witten, and Pierre Garcon should all be in consideration - even Cowboys rookie Terrance Williams who is only $1m and with Miles Austin still struggling with a hamstring injury he could still see enough targets to do some damage.
