More than half the touchdown targets we highlighted last week scored, including some big games from the Houston running backs, Rashaad Penny and Austin Ekeler.
The approach here is a simple one: this is a resource. We've brought in the intriguing targets for touchdowns this weekend based on the numbers we track. The teams that draw these defenses are organized, and we explain why a defense is a target and who stands to benefit on Sunday.
Use this information however you see fit. Whether it's for DFS, touchdown parlays, or straight bets on someone to score, there is something here you can use for Week 5 in the NFL.
It's quite a list this week, so let's not waste any time.
