FORWARDS/MIDFIELDERS
Jamie Vardy, LEI v. WAT ($22): Vardy doesn't have the best floor, but it's hard to ignore his 10 goals and two assists in the last eight matches. You're playing with fire if you bet against him in this form because he always seems to have a brace in him. He has the best odds to score on the slate (behind injured Tammy Abraham) and Watford have given up five goals in their last two matches against Southampton and Burnley. A lot of people will turn to Liverpool and Sadio Mane ($22), which isn't a bad idea, but I'd rather look elsewhere. No matter how Everton are playing, the Merseyside derby is always a battle. There has been one goal scored in the last three derbies, with that goal coming in stoppage time by Divock Origi last December. And while I think Tottenham will give up a couple goals against Man United, that's not a match I want to focus on because production could come from anywhere. That was most evident when Marcus Rashford ($19) had 6.9 fantasy points in a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa over the weekend.
