1 Carlos Vela LAFC at SKC, v. VAN 11.5 A match at Sporting Kansas City used to be one of the places you'd think about fading fantasy stars, but the times are a changin'. Vela has two favorable matchups this week.

2 Carlos Darwin Quintero MIN v. SJ, at MTL 10.5 It's a week where a lot of forwards could claim this second spot but nobody definitively stands out. Minnesota is playing well around Quintero, and he's showing some signs of getting back in form.

3 Alberth Elis HOU v. NYRB, at FCC 10.5 New York are missing key defensive players to the Gold Cup and FC Cincinnati just got gauged for seven goals. Elis is likely still trying to impress a potential summer buyer, too.

4 Josef Martinez ATL at CHI, v. NYRB 11.0 A goal-dependent Martinez is a little tougher to stomach in this massive early double game week, but I think he's a good play if you can pay up.

5 Diego Rossi LAFC at SKC, v. VAN 10.0

6 Alexandru Mitrita NYC v. SEA, v. POR 8.6

7 Valentin Castellanos NYC v. SEA, v. POR 7.5 In two matches filling in for Heber, Taty has a pair of goals, and assist, a drawn penalty, eight shots, and has drawn seven fouls. Both opponents are solid, but with the games at Yankee Stadium and our rosters needing some cheaper impact players, this may be too good a price to pass up.

8 Chris Wondolowski SJ at MIN, v. RSL 7.6

9 Mauro Manotas HOU v. NYRB, at FCC 9.0 Whether his rest over the past several matches is due to injury or a rumored transfer to Liga MX, Manotas would certainly be an option if he starts on Wednesday night.

10 Kacper Przybylko PHI at ORL, v. ORL 7.5 I've been worried about some rotation with Kacper, but he's fended it off thus far. Orlando have improved defensively, but Sane/Jansson are beatable and Philly have the diverse attacking talent to find the weaknesses.

11 Angelo Rodriguez MIN v. SJ, at MTL 8.5

12 C.J. Sapong PHI at ORL, v. ORL 7.1

13 Adama Diomande LAFC at SKC, v. VAN 8.0 Betting on Dio or Christian Ramirez to start back to back games is never a sure thing, but getting an LAFC forward for $8.0 sure would be nice.

14 Tesho Akindele ORL v. PHI, at PHI 6.7

15 Sam Johnson RSL v. CLB, at SJ 7.6

16 Nemanja Nikolic CHI v. ATL, at SKC 8.3 He reportedly is leaving Chicago after this season and isn't playing full 90 minute games. He's the better player, but I think we need to trust Sapong more here.

17 Romell Quioto HOU v. NYRB, at FCC 7.0

18 Dom Dwyer ORL v. PHI, at PHI 8.0 Seemingly healthy following a month long injury absence, and having welcomed a second child to the Dwyer family last week, Dwyer has some feathers in his narrative cap. I wouldn't expect him to start twice, though.

19 Justin Dhillon SEA at NYC, at CLB 5.0 Ruidiaz remains in Copa America and Bruin is injured, which leaves Dhillon (a faster version of Will Bruin?) and 17-year old Alfonso Ocampo-Chavez to man the forward spot for Seattle. Dhillon could definitely start both.
