Two of the top offenses in the league meet on 'Monday Night Football' to close out the Week 5 NFL schedule as the Los Angeles Rams host the Buffalo Bills at 8:15 p.m. ET in the game with the highest over/under (55.5) on the board in Week 5. The Rams lead the NFL in total offense at 417 yards per game, though that hasn't translated well to scoring as they are in the bottom 10 in the NFL in points per game. Buffalo, meanwhile, ranks seventh in total offense, and second in points per game, so those are all data points to consider when building NFL DFS lineups for contests such as the $475k NFL Monday Night Special on FanDuel or the $1.5M Monday Night Showdown GPP on DraftKings.
Big names like Josh Allen, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, James Cook, Davante Adams and Matthew Stafford are among the top possible NFL DFS picks, but who are the best values in the NFL DFS player pool among both the stars and the role players? Before making any 'Monday Night Football' NFL DFS picks on sites like FanDuel or DraftKings, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy, and stacks from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to Rams vs. Bills on 'MNF' and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks for Week 5, Bills vs. Rams
One of McClure's top NFL DFS picks for Bills vs. Rams on 'MNF' is Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen. One of the top daily and season-long Fantasy options for the past several years, Allen brings both a high floor and a high ceiling since he's extremely effective as a passer and a rusher. He has seven rushing touchdowns on the season and is averaging a little more than 250 passing yards per game. Allen has been particularly strong against the Rams in his career, piling up 10 passing touchdowns and five rushing scores in three career matchups.
McClure's also building around Rams running back Blake Corum in a bit of a contrarian play. The third-year back out of Michigan has been largely effective when called upon this season, averaging nearly 5.0 yards per carry. He's been quiet the past couple weeks, but he had double-digit carries in both Week 1 and Week 2. In a game with this many stars and projected points, it's important to find some cheaper options to free up cap space, and McClure is banking on Corum outperforming his relatively low expectations.
