Rich Hribar's Week 5 Core DFS Plays
Chase Brown ($8,000 FanDuel/$6,900 DraftKings)
Brown has run into a brutal opening stretch of opponents.
The Texans, Jaguars, and Buccaneers are all top-10 in points allowed to running backs for the year.
Things finally loosen up here.
Miami has allowed three RB1 scoring weeks so far, and in the one week they didn't, they still allowed Aaron Jones 128 total yards on 24 touches.
The Dolphins face 29.8 backfield touches per game (25th) and allow 141.5 total yards per game to backs (25th).
They rank 21st in rushing points allowed (14.5 per game) and rank last in receiving points allowed (15.2 per game) to backs.
Miami has also allowed 7 touchdowns to running backs (30th).

Rich Hribar's Week 5 Tournament DFS Plays
Jaylen Waddle ($6,600 FanDuel/$6,100 DraftKings)
Waddle is the ceiling play to leverage against Michael Wilson's popularity this week.
The two are priced nearly the same on both sites.
I still believe the Broncos want to get Waddle going, and he is getting open.
They just have to do better within the scheme to get him more full-field targets.
Waddle has hardly had any intermediate targets.
Only 15.4% of his targets have come 10-19 yards downfield.
His career rate is 30%, and he has been at 37% and 37.3% the previous two seasons.
19.2% of his targets have come at or behind the line of scrimmage, the highest rate of his career.
Another 50% of his targets have been shorter than 10 yards downfield, the highest rate since his rookie season.
So far, this passing game has relied on short throws outside the numbers.
To give Denver some of a pass, the past two defenses (the Rams and 49ers) have defended the middle of the field extremely well early in the season and funneled targets underneath against everyone.
Teams have thrown the ball between the numbers 28.3% of the time against San Francisco (5th lowest) and 31.5% against the Rams (9th).
The Chargers are at 46.5% (31st), which could open things up a bit more than the past two games.

Rich Hribar's Week 5 DFS Game Stacks
Lions at Cardinals
This game is driving the entire slate for gamers.
It is sitting at a 54.5-point total, while the next closest game on the main slate has a 46.5-point total.
Detroit games are averaging a league-high 61.5 combined points per game.
40.5% of drives against Detroit have resulted in a touchdown, the league's highest rate.
33.3% of the drives against Arizona have resulted in a touchdown, 30th.
Pricing will favor Arizona builds, with many Jacoby Brissett, Trey McBride, and Michael Wilson combinations.
Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier will also be darts gamers throw, though on the lower end of ownership.
I want to play through the Detroit side firsthand, but I'll be playing from both sides.
It is all of the usual suspects for the Lions.
Jared Goff has stacking partners in Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jameson Williams.
If you are looking for salary relief in this game since it is expensive to stack in full, punt options include Kendrick Bourne, Isaac TeSlaa, and Elijah Higgins.
