Defender -- Ben Davies, Tottenham

Salary: $6,500

FanDuel's new scoring settings enhance the value of fullbacks who get forward in attack, making such players a great way to get cheap exposure to high-powered sides.

Davies fits that profile perfectly this week as Spurs should control the proceedings at "home" against Fulham. Davies posted 16.4 FanDuel points at Newcastle in Matchweek 1, creating a pair of chances from his wing-back spot, a position which grants him a lot of freedom to roam forward. On top of that, Fulham's 0.75-goal implied total gives Spurs a pretty nice shot at a clean sheet, a five-point bonus for Davies if he plays the full match.

The Welshman notched 2 goals and 6 assists in 26 EPL starts a year ago, and he should be locked into the starting XI until Kieran Trippier ($6,500) is set to return. Trippier didn't play last week, but if he ends up starting, he'd be a great play, as well.
