Check out my favorite matchups for Week 6!

Key Matchup	Reason
Cedric Benson, RB, CIN vs. Houston Texans' run defense	HOU is giving up the 2nd most rushing TDs per game; Benson leads the league in rushing yards - makings for the perfect storm?
Chris Cooley, TE, WAS vs. Kansas City Chiefs' pass defense	Cooley was blanked last week since he had to block; KC's pass rush is non-existent, so Cooley could have a big day
Sidney Rice, WR, MIN vs. Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks	Rice's height should help against the Ravens' shorter cornerbacks; MIN will struggle to run, so look for a lot of passing
Brandon Marshall, WR, DEN vs. Antonio Cromartie, CB, SD	Marshall snagged 18 balls in one game against Cromartie last year; SD's pass D is inept, to be kind, and Marshall is on a roll
Jeremy Shockey, TE, NO vs. New York Giants' pass defense	Shockey faces off with his former employer and emotions will be running high; NYG is moderately tough against the position
