Week 6: Predictions and Great Expectations

Okay, couple of things. First, I obviously didn't get to do my Great Expectations for Week 6. And, since I'm low on time, I won't be able to give any reasoning for my picks. Just know that these are the players who I think have a great Week 6.

• Vince Young (at Jacksonville)
• Ben Roethlisberger (vs. Cleveland)
• Alex Smith (vs. Oakland)
• Ahmad Bradshaw (vs. Detroit)
• Ryan Torain (vs. Indianapolis)
• Jamaal Charles (at Houston)
• Michael Bush (at San Francisco)
• Malcom Floyd (at St. Louis)
• Kenny Britt and Nate Washington (at Jacksonville)
• Mike Wallace (vs. Cleveland)
• Steve Smith (vs. Detroit)
• Davone Bess (at Green Bay)
• Zach Miller (at San Francisco)
• Heath Miller (vs. Cleveland)
• Brent Celek (vs. Atlanta)
• Tony Moeaki (at Houston)
