I have Leinart as my backup QB. I am little scared after he was pulled yesterday. So I am looking for a backup quarterback that can fill in for week 6. Here are the best available QB.
Kyle Boller
Chad Pennington
David Garrard
Matt Schaub
Kurt Warner
Joey Harrington
Josh McCown
Who should I pick up and why?

Of that list the best option has got to be Matt Schaub. A lot of his fantasy value is tied up in the health of Andre Johnson (who will be out again this week it looks like) however he's got some other decent targets in Jacoby Jones, Andre Davis, and Owen Daniels and a well-established running game thanks to Ahman Green. The Texans have been playing some pretty solid football games this year, and a lot of that is thanks to Schaub and his decision-making abilities to get the ball out on time. He also has just looked pretty damn good so far in terms of leading his team; the fact that they played Indy close (and he still put up ok fantasy digits - 263 yds, 1 TD, 2 picks - Without Johnson!) really impresses me. He could be a borderline starter when this year is said and done.

Stick with Leinart. Head Coach Ken Whisenhunt said, "We were down three scores and we knew that was the best way to move the ball quickly. It wasn't a situation where Matt lost a job. It was Kurt did better with this package." That being said, If you want another QB, I would go with Matt Schaub. He seems to be playing the best and when Andre Johnson gets back, he should continue to put up good numbers. Boller is a backup, Garrard is just plain terrible, Pennington is solid, Warner is a backup, Harrington is hit or miss, and McCown is hurting.

I'd get Schaub. He's shown so far that he is going to be a very productive QB. As long as Andre Johnson isn't out for an extended period of time, I'd take him. Plus, he's the only one in the group listed who, barring injury, will start every game this year.

I would probably go with Matt Schaub. Houston has been playing great so far, however if Andre Johnson is hurt I'd look for another alternative.
Jets will be playing the Eagles week 6th. Eagles defense is suspect this year, so Pennington would be my second pick.

Kurt Warner...
I used to have him 2 years ago on that Arizona offense and he was steady and consistent 300 yards every game passing and at least 2tds....
now that Fits and Boldin have matured and the passing game is effective again I would go for him as he will shine even brighter for sure if he gets protection.

I would say David Garrard. Easily the best out of the bunch. I'd actually go with Pennington but with his ankle injury, its not real safe to play him if he is going to be questionable every week.
So yeah, go with Garrard. Even with Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor I think he'll gain you some decent stats when you need him.

Matt Schaub is the best on that list.. however.. a lot of his value lies in Andre Johnson who is hurt right now... other than him I would get Garrard... All the rest are garbage right now if you ask me...

I'd get Schaub...I have him as my backup and while this past week wasn't his best he is performing solidly this season and will likely continue.
