What a week! Using the well-known, balanced strategy of "Whack in all the Patriots", our US fantasy expert propelled himself to the top of the NFL UK Sky Sports Pundits rankings for a moment, and now lies in third. Here are his picks for Week 6.

QUARTERBACK  - Tom Brady (New England Patriots)

We're putting Brady in again - simply because the Colts haven't shown us any reason why they will stop him thus far this season. A bargain at $4m.

RUNNING BACK - Devonta Freeman (Atlanta Falcons)

Freeman had yet another game where he had triple digit yards and a touchdown, and now the Falcons play the Saints, who give up 4.5 yards per rush against running backs, and have given up 6 TDs to the position thus far.

RUNNING BACK - Dion Lewis (New England Patriots)

Dion Lewis came up with another TD against Dallas on Sunday, and we're keeping with him.

WIDE RECEIVER - Larry Fitzgerald (Arizona Cardinals)

A lot of people would have rested Fitzgerald against the Pittsburgh defence of years past, but this year, they have been pretty middling. And Fitzgerald's good against any defence - especially the middling ones. It's going to be a fun game. Still one of the season's biggest bargains at $2m!

WIDE RECEIVER - Julian Edelman (New England Patriots)

Edelman took hope an 80-yard touchdown against Dallas on Sunday, leading Tom Brady's receiving corps. Against Indianapolis - and despite the weapons he still has - we're expecting him to do the same. And he's still worth $2m!

TIGHT END - Rob Gronkowski (New England Patriots)

It is a no-brainer to stick with top tight end Rob Gronkowski

I was shocked - shocked I tell you - that 'Gronk' didn't score against Dallas, but he's been a lot better than my other tight ends, and he's going to be a keeper until injury gets him. He's still a hell of a big-play receiver, which means double-digit points week in, week out. Why? Because if I don't pony up $4m to get my TE back, I'd be insane.

DEFENCE - Denver Broncos

The Denver defence are fancied to keep Cleveland quiet

The Broncos are playing against the Cleveland Browns. Yep. Put 'em in.

KICKER - Matt Bryant (Atlanta Falcons)

The Saints may struggle to keep Matt Bryant and the Falcons quiet

Bryant's playing the New Orleans Saints, so we expect points aplenty. They shouldn't all go for TDs, which means that Bryant's boot should collect some points here!
