When you're following games on a Sunday, it’s exciting to set up a PrizePicks lineup, track the league's top players and cash out big.

Here are three players that should be in your PrizePicks lineup in Week 5.

Week 5 PrizePicks for NFL Props

Jalen Hurts Under 193.5 Passing Yards

Panic is spreading in Philadelphia, and it isn’t just because LeBron James is dealing with arthritis in his foot.

Are the Eagles waving the white flag? It’s been a potential season-altering week for the franchise. Starting running back Saquon Barkley is week-to-week due to a hamstring injury, and backup Tank Bigsby is on IR with an abdominal injury. Will Shipley, who has 159 yards on 59 carries over three seasons, will likely start at running back.

The offensive line has also taken a big hit: longtime right guard Lane Johnson announced his retirement this week, and the team traded two-time Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens to the Ravens.

Jalen Hurts has already struggled, with 246 passing yards and a 53.8% completion percentage over his last two games.

This week, Hurts will face a Jaguars pass defense that has ranked seventh in EPA allowed per dropback (-0.02) since Week 3.

The Eagles are also in an unusual situation, traveling to London for this matchup. The Jaguars play in London every year, so they’re prepared, while the Eagles may not be.

Chase Brown More Than 64.5 Rushing Yards

Chase Brown’s season has been disappointing coming off best his year, which featured career highs in rushing yards (1,019) and receiving yards (437). This season, the Bengals haven’t used him much, as he ranks 17th in the NFL touches (58) and 22nd in scrimmage yards (207). 

Brown hasn’t been needed as much with every key piece of the offense being healthy to start the year. That may not be the case coming into this week. Wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are at risk of missing this game because Chase is in concussion protocol and Higgins has a thumb injury.

This is an opportunity for Brown to lead the Bengals’ offense, as he could see a surge in touches. It also helps facing the Dolphins, who have been among the worst-performing teams this season.

He could be a key part of Joe Burrow's passing game, and Miami ranks 28th in receiving yards allowed to running backs (177).

Jaylen Warren More Than 1.5 Anytime TDs (Demon)

The Steelers feel like a team without an identity. With a 2-2 record, it looks like they are trying to be competitive, which may not be great, especially since they’ll have to figure out their quarterback situation after Aaron Rodgers retires.

They are building pieces for the future, and one of them is Warren. They extended him instead of keeping Najee Harris before the 2025 season. As the primary back last year, he posted career highs in rushing yards and touchdowns.

How did they thank him? They did so by signing Rico Dowdle and creating this split backfield. However, Dowdle has missed the last two games due to a toe injury. He’s recently returned to practice, but is a limited participant. Even if he’s active for Week 5, he may be on a snap count, especially given how a toe injury can affect his cuts.

That’s why Warren could get the majority of the snaps. This matchup gives Warren a chance to show off his dual-threat ability. He’s been one of the best receiving running backs early in the season, ranking fourth in receiving yards (143) and he’s the only running back in the league with at least 10 catches and is averaging more than 11 yards per reception. 

This week, Warren faces a Colts defense that ranks 29th in receiving yards allowed to running backs (177). Indianapolis is just as bad against the run, ranking 26th in the league in yards allowed per carry (4.8) and allowing the fourth-most rushing touchdowns to running backs (4). He could be the focal point of the offense, and could have multiple trips into the end zone.
