FORWARDS
Lionel Messi, BAR at TOT (€27): Messi lit up PSV with a hat trick en route to 40 points in his UCL opener, and while the matchup at Tottenham presents a bigger challenge, Messi is one of few players in the world who are truly matchup proof. He's scored or assisted in six of eight games to start the season, and with Spurs having conceded two goals in each of their last two home games, Messi stands a good chance to be involved on the scoresheet.
Antoine Griezmann, ATM v. CLUB (€25): Griezmann has nearly the same anytime goal scorer odds as Messi but has a much easier matchup at home against Club Brugge. Griezmann has scored or assisted in all three home appearances this season, and given what's at stake with Atletico looking to position themselves at the top of Group A, we can expect him to continue to be involved.
Hirving Lozano, PSV v. INT (€15):Lozano's five goals through seven games are level with Luuk de Jong (€16) and Gaston Pereiro (€14) for the team lead, but it's Lozano who checks in with the best goal scorer odds on the squad.

PSV are actually slight home underdogs to Inter Milan but, as potent as PSV's attack is, we can expect some fireworks from Chucky regardless of the result.
MIDFIELDERS
Marco Reus, BVB v. MCO (€22): Reus comes in hot with three goals and two assists over his last three appearances. He's now at home against a Monaco side who are winless in eight straight, and all signs point to another strong outing.
Christian Pulisic, BVB v. MCO (€21): Pulisic supplied the game winner at Brugge to get Dortmund's Champions League campaign off on the right foot, and he's followed that up with a goal and an assist in his last three games. While Reus has been hotter, Pulisic is involved enough in the attack to turn up with a big performance against a dejected Monaco squad.
Koke, ATM v. CLUB (€17):Koke delivered an assist in Atletico's group stage opener, and as the primary set-piece taker on the biggest favorite, he's in line to keep the production going. He's not known for his goal-scoring abilities, but he found the net in his last home game, and with Atletico expected to score multiple goals we can expect Koke to make his impact felt.
DEFENDERS
Alex Telles, PTO v. GAL (€15): Telles was a frustrating play in Porto's UCL opener, missing a penalty and failing to hit four points in their 1-1 draw. Memories of the let-down may push some people off him, but I think it's a prime bounce -back spot with a decent shot at a clean sheet at home against Galatasaray, coupled with his role as the team's primary set-piece taker.
Lucas Hernandez, ATM v. CLUB (€15): We'll want exposure to the biggest clean sheet favorite on the slate, and Hernandez is likely going to be the cheapest way in to Atletico's defense. He managed just 3.45 fantasy points in his first game, but at home to Club Brugge, he's a relatively safe play considering Atletico's recent run of three straight shutouts.
Achraf Hakimi, BVB v. MCO (€13): Hakimi is raising some eyebrows since being inserted into the starting lineup two games ago, showing off his attacking abilities with a goal and an assist and leaving fans thirsty for more from the Real Madrid loanee. It's yet to be seen if his starting role carries over into UCL play, but he's certainly worth looking for at this price given his recent run of form combined with the good matchup.
GOALKEEPER
Jan Oblak, ATM v. CLUB (€16): Oblak has kept a clean sheet in three consecutive La Liga games and is at home against a Club Brugge attack that was held scoreless at home in their UCL opener. Paying down at the position made sense with Robin Olsen on Tuesday, but with little savings available in the goalkeeper pool, paying all the way up for the biggest clean sheet favorite on the slate can be justified.
