5 Daily Fantasy Football Matchups to Exploit in Week 5

Baltimore Ravens Rushing Offense

In all honesty, Justin Forsett has been nothing to write home about on the whole this season. But I find it really hard to pass him up in a game against the Cleveland Browns.

Now, the Browns wound up in this piece last week, too, against the San Diego Chargers. That was before it became clear that the Chargers would be without three of their starting five offensive linemen. Because of that, the team turned to Philip Rivers to work his magic, and he did just that. Assuming the Ravens aren't calling upon the Holabird Academy flag football team, they should be able to exploit a fairly bad defense.

Despite facing a depleted front last week, the Browns still rank 31st in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP per play. The only team worse than them is the aforementioned 49ers, so this really is just not an ideal situation for the boys in brown.

Forsett certainly hasn't been special this year, but he also hasn't been bad. He enters Week 5 ranked 22nd in Rushing NEP per play among the 54 running backs with at least 20 carries. He showed last year that he's still got it, finishing second in Rushing NEP per play among the backs with at least 100 carries. He may not be a guy you count on week in and week out, but we're just asking him to rack up the yards against a lower-tier defense; I think he can do that just fine.
