PLAYER RECOMMENDATIONS
GOALKEEPER
Lukasz Fabianski, SWA v. EVE ($4,600): Everton force the most saves per game among teams on the slate, while Fabianski has three clean sheets in his last five home matches. Shutting out Everton won't be easy, but Swansea have much more to play for and Fabianski certainly has the save upside.
DEFENDER
Ahmed Elmohamaday, HUL v. SUN ($3,900): The defender pool is pretty ugly for Saturday's slate, so it doesn't feel necessary to pay up. Elmohamaday has been a decent crosser at times and will now face a Sunderland side that's allowed the second-most crosses per game this season among teams on the slate. He'll win a few tackles, but the upside is low given his lack of shots.
Jose Holebas, WAT at LEI ($5,200): Holebas is questionable to play due to injury, but he's an intriguing option if he's cleared to start. While the matchup isn't ideal, it's also far from tough, and Holebas' role on set pieces gives him a decent floor. Leicester City have allowed over 22 crosses per game this season, with many on the left side, which plays well into Holebas' upside.
MIDFIELDER
Robbie Brady, BUR v. WBA ($6,800): Brady's playing time has been sporadic since his move from Norwich City, which seems a bit nuts given he's usually Burnley's best player when he's on the pitch. Either way, he makes for a great start if he's in the first XI on Saturday, as West Brom have been absolutely dreadful over the last eight matches, scoring three goals in total except they all came in the same game (March 18 in a 3-1 win over Arsenal, of course). Meanwhile, Brady comes in having scored 21 and 15 fantasy points in his last two starts, respectively, in part from 22 crosses, five shots and nine tackles won.
Ryan Fraser, BOU v. STK ($7,700): Fraser's price continues to rise, but it's only because he's been producing. He's taken at least two shots and sent in at least six crosses in each of his last three starts, and he has an assist in each of his last two. Stoke have been poor away from home this season, while Bournemouth have had some good results thanks to Fraser.
Wahbi Khazri, SUN at HUL ($5,400): Khazri failed to reach double-digit fantasy points last week, as Sunderland lost 1-0 to Bournemouth and officially clinched relegation, but Khazri still took two shots and sent in 11 crosses. In fact, it was only a yellow card that kept him from scoring at least 10 fantasy points for the third consecutive match. Sunderland away from home hardly inspires confidence, but Khazri is just the type of player who can succeed on DraftKings even if his team stinks. For as bad as Sunderland are, Hull have allowed only 0.52 fewer shots and 0.46 fewer crosses per game than Sunderland.
FORWARD
Kamil Grosicki, HUL v. SUN ($7,100): Grosicki continues to take a majority of set pieces (he splits corners with Sam Clucas), and he's taken 11 shots in his last five games, including 10 in three. Hull are the biggest favorites on the slate, and Grosicki should have no problem continuing to rack up shots and crosses against a Sunderland teams that's allowed the second-most of each this season.
Gylfi Sigurdsson, SWA v. EVE ($9,500): Sigurdsson ended a 10-game goalless drought last weekend against Manchester United, and to prove how strong he is with peripheral stats, he failed to reach double-digit fantasy points just twice over that span, scoring eight and nine points in the other matches. No one has taken more shots or sent in more crosses than Sigurdsson among players on the slate, and his 12 assists are four more than anyone else playing Saturday.
Joshua King, BOU v STK ($8,000): King has scored four goals in his last five games, as well as five goals in his last four home matches, and he now faces a Stoke side that has just one clean sheet in their last 10 away matches. King's floor is fairly low and basically just from shots, but he certainly has a great opportunity to find the back of the net again.
