NFL Week 5 action is here. Here are five recommended plays to help you win big in DraftKings GPP and cash game competitions.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb is an excellent play in GPP formats this week.
The Browns are currently two-point home underdogs on DraftKings Sportsbook. That plus his $8,000 salary, the third-highest at the position, are likely the causes of PFF’s 5.4% ownership projection, just the 19th-highest projected rostership rate on the Sunday main slate.
Cleveland’s 127 carries rank No. 1 in the NFL, as does their team-85.4 PFF rushing grade. The ground-and-pound successes are due, in part, to their fourth-ranked 72.7 run-blocking grade.
The Browns’ big boys up front have garnered a 58% matchup advantage grade this week, the top mark in PFF’s OL/DL matchup chart. The rating is a thorough besmirching of the Los Angeles Chargers‘ defensive front, as general manager Tom Telesco supposedly spent all offseason upgrading their run defense.
The X-factor in Cleveland’s rushing successes is Chubb, whose 89.7 PFF rushing grade, 32 missed tackles forced and 15 explosive rushing plays all rank No. 1 among NFL running backs with at least 40 carries.
