Defenders

Full disclosure: Kendall Waston is one yellow card away from suspension, so if he goes into the book on Wednesday we're only getting one game out of him. Despite the risk, he comes with a high ceiling given his knack for getting forward. He flashed his attacking upside in Week 11, scoring a goal on five shots and adding an assist en route to a 13-point round. It's a risky venture, but with just six weeks to go it could be one worth taking to make up some ground in the standings.

Rank Player Team Matchup Price 1 Kendall Waston VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $5.1 2 Graham Zusi SKC at MIN $10.5 3 Harold Cummings SJ at VAN, vs. DC $4.7 4 Jose Aja VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $6.7 5 Nick Lima SJ at VAN, vs. DC $4.8 6 Marcel de Jong VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $4.3 7 Shea Salinas SJ at VAN, vs. DC $4.0 8 Sean Franklin VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $5.3 9 Auro TOR vs. ORL $5.0 10 Alexander Callens NYC vs. COL $6.7 11 Matt Hedges DAL vs. VAN $8.4 12 Ike Opara SKC at MIN $8.1 13 Anton Tinnerholm NYC vs. COL $6.3 14 Gregory van der Wiel TOR vs. ORL $6.1 15 Ben Sweat NYC vs. COL $6.5 16 Leandro Gonzalez Pirez ATL vs. RBNY $6.2 17 Laurent Ciman LAFC at POR $9.8 18 Anton Nedyalkov DAL vs. VAN $8.5 19 Harrison Afful CLB at NE $6.8 20 Kevin Ellis CHI vs. HOU $5.7

Midfielders

A double-game week that includes a visit Saturday from struggling D.C. United makes Earthquakes talisman Vako a strong play | USA Today Sports Images

There's no clear cut No.1 this week, but it's the San Jose midfielders that stick out as the ones to target with a winnable game at Vancouver and a good matchup at home versus D.C. A case could be made for either of them to top double figures in Week 12, with set-piece duty bumping Magnus Eriksson and Vako slightly ahead of the pack.

Rank Player Team Matchup Price 1 Magnus Eriksson SJ at VAN, vs. DC $9.6 2 Vako SJ at VAN, vs. DC $8.7 3 Danny Hoesen SJ at VAN, vs. DC $7.9 4 Florian Jungwirth SJ at VAN, vs. DC $8.7 5 Felipe VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $7.2 6 Anibal Godoy SJ at VAN, vs. DC $7.7 7 Alphonso Davies VAN vs. SJ, at DAL $5.9 8 Miguel Almiron ATL vs. RBNY $14.3 9 Ignacio Piatti MTL vs. LA $13.2 10 Maximiliano Moralez NYC vs. COL $11.1 11 Mauro Díaz DAL vs. VAN $10.4 12 Victor Vazquez TOR vs. ORL $9.9 13 Diego Valeri POR vs. LAFC $11.0 14 Romain Alessandrini LA at MTL $8.2 15 Johnny Russell SKC at MIN $10.5 16 Jonathan Osorio TOR vs. ORL $7.9 17 Kaku RBNY at ATL $10.3 18 Federico Higuain CLB at NE $9.7 19 Aleksandar Katai CHI vs. HOU $7.3 20 Alexander Ring NYC vs. COL $10.0 21 Ezequiel Barco ATL vs. RBNY $8.3 22 Ager Aketxe TOR vs. ORL $6.7 23 Yangel Herrera NYC vs. COL $7.6 24 Saphir Taider MTL vs. LA $7.3 25 Daniel Salloi SKC at MIN $9.0 26 Haris Medunjanin PHI vs. RSL $8.6 27 Albert Rusnak RSL at PHI $10.5 28 Roland Lamah DAL vs. VAN $10.3 29 Sacha Kljestan ORL at TOR $11.0 30 Teal Bunbury NE vs. CLB $8.7

Forwards

Kei Kamara has shown signs of breaking through for the first time since March and is also on a double game week | USA Today Images

Kei Kamara and Chris Wondolowski are the two DGW forwards that can realistically be given consideration in Week 12, with several single-game forwards boasting good matchups to target as well. Kamara has has taken four shots in each of his last two games and has a goal or an assist in five of the six games he has started this season.
