Now that bye weeks have started, www.NFLHouse.com will be posting our weekly article of our original “Bye Week Buyers”. In each installment, we list the top players out for the host of bye week teams, and give you suitable replacements that are likely in free agency in most leagues.

Top Fantasy Players Out for Week 6:

Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis
Tony Romo, QB, Dallas
Marion Barber, RB, Dallas
Joseph Addai, RB, Indianapolis
Frank Gore, RB, San Francisco
Ronnie Brown, RB, Miami
Reggie Wayne, WR, Indianapolis
Miles Austin, WR, Dallas
Ted Ginn Jr., WR, Miami
Dallas Clark, TE, Indianapolis
Miami Defense

Top Likely Free Agents to Pick Up:

Jason Campbell, QB, Washington Redskins
-Jim Zorn knows that these next two weeks will determine his future as a head coach. The Chiefs are very young in the secondary, and Campbell should have a big day.

Josh Johnson, QB, Tampa Bay Bucs
-Johnson isn’t a legit starting quarterback right now, but the Panthers have struggled defensively all season, and he could give you 10+ fantasy points and is widely available.

Cedric Benson, RB, Cincinnati Bengals
-Most likely not available in many leagues, if he is, scoop him up quick.

Larry Johnson, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
-Johnson has been a huge disappointment this season but facing the unimpressive Redskins defense, Johnson will be the main reason if the Chiefs pull off the win.

Julius Jones, RB, Seattle Seahawks
-The Seahawks have been up and down this season, but going againsta division rival with a weak defense at home, Jones could have 120+.

LeSean McCoy, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
-He’s the future of the Eagles running game, and facing an embarrassing Raiders team, Westbrook will be out early.

Malcolm Kelly, WR, Washington Redskins
-As seen above, the Redskins west coast offense needs to play well this weekend, and Kelly is the best west coast receiver they have.

Lance Moore, WR, New Orleans Saints
-The Giants have a very solid secondary, but I’m not sold on there depth. Moore will be the 3rd or 4th receiver and will be hard to contain all game in New Orleans.

Mohammed Massaquoi, WR, Cleveland Browns
-The Steelers defense has struggled this season without Troy Polomalu. Even if he does return, there will be a re-adjustment period, and the Browns can’t play worse than they did last week.

Tony Scheffler, TE, Denver Broncos
-Slowly becoming a favorite red-zone and short-route target for Kyle Orton, the Chargers allow among the most points in the league, and the McDaniels offense is rolling.

Washington Redskins Defense
-The Chiefs offense hasn’t been impressive this season through the air. While the rushing game for KC should be decent, but the passing game will likely struggle.
