Welcome to the DFS Playbook for NFL Week 5!

It's been quite a week already as we've been tracking a number of players and situations we're looking to use for this week's cash games and GPP contests. Some sketchy situations like the Green Bay and Seattle backfields, but this looks like a week where paying up at running back looks like it will pay off, rather than fight and struggle with decisions that are flagged by injuries and disappointing performances. With the receivers, it looks like you can pay down a little as none of the elite wideouts grade out very well, but not too far down as there are quite a few high-floor wideouts we seem to be able to trust, especially for our cash games. All in all, the options are still plentiful no matter which way you want to go, so it's time to mix and match until you find a lineup or two with which you are comfortable.

Optimal/Example lineups -- whatever you want to call them -- will be posted no later than 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

If you've picked your players, set your lineups and still looking for last-minute advice, don't forget about the LIVE CHAT every Sunday with Dom Murtha, Jon Impemba and Steve Pimental right here on the site from 11am-1pm ET as well as the LIVE STREAM with me and Brandon Marianne Lee from 11am-12pm ET (also on Sunday) which can be found on the Fantasy Alarm Facebook and Twitter pages as well as on YouTube and Periscope.

Best of luck to you all this week! Let's crush it again!
