1 Wayne Rooney DCU v. RSL 10.5 With one of the week's best home fixtures and a seemingly locked in role as the corner kick taker, Rooney locks in the top forward spot this week.

2 Carlos Vela LAFC at NYC 11.3 Vela is simply a more certain fantasy factor here on the road than most of the forward options in their home stadium this weekend. LAFC's quality and style of play combined with Vela's energized start to the season completely outweigh the travel to Yankee Stadium.

3 Carlos Darwin Quintero MIN at LA 12.0 With Zlatan and Alessandrini set to miss another match, Minnesota don't have much to focus on stopping defensively. Queue Quintero pushing forward as Minnesota is emboldened by their early success away from home.

4 Bradley Wright-Phillips NYRB v. SJ 10.5 With a Week 2 bye and early CCL match, concerns shouldn't be high for Red Bulls rotation. Against a struggling San Jose side, the Red Bulls could romp.

5 Alexandru Mitrita NYC v. LAFC 10.2 The floodgates are going to open soon if he continues shooting at such an aggressive rate. I'm thinking Dome would prefer he take some higher percentage opportunities, but that'd work for us too!

6 Raul Ruidiaz SEA at CHI 10.8

7 Josef Martinez ATL v. PHI 10.5 It's hard to figure out what a rational Atlanta take is right now, but I think they're going to be ok and could win this one by multiple goals. That said, the Union are playing better than their results and there are enough question marks in the 5 Stripes attack that some other forwards take priority for me this week.

8 Diego Rossi LAFC at NYC 9.5 To my eye, Rossi has taken a big step forward in the off-season. His positioning and decision making has been great through two weeks and it should lead to more consistent fantasy performances.

9 Dom Dwyer ORL v. MTL 9.1

10 Jeremy Ebobisse POR at FCC 7.4 Cincy will have some extra juice since it's their home opener, but I'm not certain they're sophisticated enough yet to handle the possession that Portland will cede to them. The Timbers counter is always dangerous and should have a field day on the road this week.

11 Maximiliano Urruti MTL at ORL 8.9 Montreal continue their cruel road trip (SJ-Houston-Orlando) to begin the year, but I think they can handle this one.

12 Mauro Manotas HOU v. VAN 9.9

13 Gyasi Zardes CLB v. DAL 9.7 Dallas probably will keep a closer eye on him than the Revs' pathetic defense did.

14 Jordan Morris SEA at CHI 8.8 Good upside but it almost has to be from your bench. Putting him in your lineup is asking for a two-point outing.

15 Cristian Penilla NE at TOR 8.9

16 Alberth Elis HOU v. VAN 8.7

17 Romell Quioto HOU v. VAN 8.3

18 Kei Kamara COL v. SKC 9.7

19 Christian Ramirez LAFC at NYC 7.2 Like me trying to open a jar lid before my coworker got it the other day, Ramirez is really good at loosening up the opposition before Diomande comes in to feast! (Ok that's not fair to Ramirez but can you tell I'm a big Diomande fan yet?)
