FanDuel NFL 2020: Best lineup for Week 5

Running Back: Kareem Hunt $7,100

The Cleveland Browns were monsters on the ground this past week. The headlines will talk about Odell Beckham Jr.’s big game, but the real reason the Browns were able to hold off the Cowboys comeback attempt was the running game. All of Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, and D’Ernest Johnson all averaged more than six yards per carry.

Chubb is expected to miss this game and several more weeks with an MCL injury. That means Hunt is going to be the man in that backfield. Once Chubb got hurt, Hunt was able to get the high-quality carries. He turned them into two touchdowns.

He’s going up against the Indianapolis Colts, who do not have a bad defense. The one great running back they faced was Dalvin Cook, who wasn’t able to really take over because the Colts went out to a big lead. He still ran for 60 yards and a touchdown. Hunt and the Browns will likely be in a back-and-forth effort here. The one thing that may worry fantasy players is a defensive matchup.

Hunt is getting his first shot to be a starter since he was suspended. There will be a lot of motivation to show he’s still one of the better rushers in the league.

Other Options: Derrick Henry $8,600, Jonathan Taylor $7,100
