1. Tony Romo, Dallas Cowboys

2013 Statistics: 71.8 completion, 1,523 passing yards, 13 touchdowns and two interceptions 

Going up against a Washington Redskins defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season is probably a good thing for Romo after his late-game interception last week against the Denver Broncos. Outside of that one mistake, Romo is having the best season of his career thus far and has been a legit QB1 through five weeks. Washington has yielded 323 passing yards and nearly three touchdowns per game to quarterbacks this year. You can expect Romo to stomp all over those numbers on Sunday Night Football. 

Projected Statistics: 420 passing yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions 

2. Peyton Manning, Denver Broncos

2013 Statistics: 75.8 completion, 1,884 passing yards, 21 total touchdowns and one interception 

The only reason Manning doesn't find himself No. 1 on this list is due to the fact that the chances of him playing a full four quarters as 28-point favorites against the Jacksonville Jaguars just isn't that good. Manning will put up his normal day, 400 yards and four touchdowns, but to expect anything more would be foolhardy. Statistically, Jacksonville is allowing the seventh-most points to opposing quarterbacks this season and have only intercepted two passes in five games. 

Projected Statistics: 400 passing yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions 

3. Andrew Luck, Indianapolis Colts 

2013 Statistics: 62.2 completion, 1,144 passing yards, 135 rushing yards, nine total touchdowns and two interceptions 

Luck might not be living up to expectations around the fantasy football world. As the eighth-ranked fantasy quarterback, his numbers tell us a story of a young player that is improving in every aspect of his game. Luck has thrown two interceptions in 156 pass attempts for an average of one pick per 78 attempts. This in comparison to the one interception he threw per 34.8 attempts last season. As Indianapolis starts to build a real identity under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton, we can expect Luck's passing numbers to increase. What better matchup than against a San Diego Chargers defense that has yielded the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. In fact, San Diego is only one of two teams (the Washington Redskins being the other) who rank in the bottom six of the NFL against fantasy quarterbacks and haven't taken on the powerhouse that is Peyton Manning. This means that its numbers are in no way skewed. Expect a huge game here. 

Projected Statistics: 325 passing yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions 

4. Robert Griffin III, Washington Redskins 

2013 Statistics: 62.4 completion, 1,202 passing yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions 

Talk about garbage time fantasy production. Nearly 40 percent of RGIII's passing yards have come in the fourth quarter, 75 percent of those yards in the fourth quarter with Washington down by multiple scores. Not to make an unfair comparison, but this seems a bit like what Carson Palmer did with the Oakland Raiders last season. As it relates to fantasy football, it really doesn't matter, points are points. While Washington looked to fix its defensive issues during the bye, it can expect a high-scoring affair against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. This is where RGIII comes into play. He torched Dallas on Thanksgiving Day last season and had a fully week to rest his knee. We can expect an inspired performance with first place possible on the line this week. 

Projected Statistics: 255 passing yards, 30 rushing yards, three touchdowns and one interceptions 

5. Alex Smith, Kansas City Chiefs 

2013 Statistics: 58.4 completion, 1,202 passing yards, 161 rushing yards, seven touchdowns and three interceptions 

Don't look now, but Smith has been a legit QB1 through the first five weeks of the season. He's put up top-10 quarterback numbers in four of his first five starts and is averaging 272.6 total yards per outing. Smith will need to increase his touchdown numbers moving forward, but all indicators are there for him to continue this tremendous run. Kansas City hosts a Oakland Raiders defense that is yielding nearly 300 total yards with two touchdowns per game this season. That ranks them in the bottom 10 of the NFL against fantasy quarterbacks. Look for similary production from Smith at home as the Chiefs look to go 6-0. 

Projected Statistics: 250 passing yards, 30 rushing yards, three touchdowns and one interception
