Match Week VI Fantasy Picks: Is Gerrard the darkest of dark horse picks?

Plenty of players to choose from with weak opponents on the road this week.  Chelsea is by far the best of them though.  Fabregas and Hazard will tear Aston Villa to shreds with Costa probably reaping most of the rewards.  United host West Ham and Southampton get a visit from QPR, so players from those sides should bring in the points.  Liverpool will score goals, yes plural, but whether or not they will be able to top Everton from doing so is a crap shoot.  There are a lot of 'tweeners, teams that have a good chance of scoring goals and accruing fantasy points, but there's risk involved. Sunderland, West Brom, and Stoke fit that bill.
