1 Josef Martinez ATL v. TOR, v. ORL 9.7 He's still shooting, he's back to often scoring, and he has a double game week in front of the home crowd. Barco's absence for the U-20 World Cup is concerning, considering his improved play has been a big part of the 5-Stripes' turnaround, but I think JMart can manage just fine.

2 Zlatan Ibrahimovic LA at CLB, v. NYC 13.2 Both of Zlatan's opponents this week are capable of keeping him at bay, and extra attention from the officials could be directed his way after some recent occurences. Still, relatively few convincing options exist from the teams playing twice this week, so Zlatan will remain a fixture in most lineups.

3 Nemanja Nikolic CHI v. NE, v. MIN 7.8 Sapong's all-around game has helped Chicago more this season than Nikolic, but we're talking fantasy and Niko has more of a nose for goals and shots. He costs 0.2 less too!

4 Gyasi Zardes CLB v. LA, v. LAFC 7.9 He's not scoring, with a goal in just one of six home matches and no goals in six straight games. When he does score, his lack of bonus points is tough to swallow. Over two home games, it's worth a shot, but prepare to be disappointed.

5 Hector Villalba ATL v. TOR, v. ORL 7.4 With Barco gone for a bit, Villalba projects to play more minutes.

6 C.J. Sapong CHI v. NE, v. MIN 8.0

7 Juan Caicedo NE at CHI, v. SJ 7.3 With three goals in four starts, Caicedo has been a bright spot for New England this season. The team around him is a mess, and Friedel loves rotation, so I can't rank him much higher in good conscience.

8 Carlos Vela LAFC at CLB 14.4 You could easily persuade me that one Vela game should slot in above Nikolic, or at least Zardes. Vela's median score this year is right around the range those guys should get with a one-goal week, but their upside is higher.

9 Brian White NYRB v. MTL, at DAL 5.9 Brian White can be a quality MLS starter and he's a good bet for minutes with BWP on the mend.

10 Alberth Elis HOU at SEA 11.7

11 Maximiliano Urruti MTL at NYRB, at FCC 6.5 Urruti isn't a lock to start both, or even one, but the potential against Cincinnati is too good to oust him from the top 20.

12 Wayne Rooney DC v. SKC 10.5

13 Jordan Hamilton TOR at ATL, v. PHI 6.0 Jozy's return is imminent but they'll use caution and Hamilton is playing well enough to let him get to 95%+.

14 Juan Agudelo NE at CHI, v. SJ 5.8

15 Orji Okwonkwo MTL at NYRB, at FCC 5.1

16 Mauro Manotas HOU at SEA 11.2

17 Sam Johnson RSL at COL 7.1

18 Jozy Altidore TOR at ATL, v. PHI 11.6 Jozy is close to a return, likely more for the weekend match than midweek. Even in the most generous terms, the fixtures for Toronto are only decent.

19 Tajon Buchanan NE at CHI, v. SJ 4.4 Starting minutes aren't guaranteed but he's looked pretty good in his action so far. Incredible value for a bench play, if you need the savings this week.
