Forward -- Harry Kane, Tottenham

FanDuel Price: $13,000

Kane is almost a lock to be the slate's highest-owned player. He's the vital cog for a Spurs side that's the slate's biggest favorite (1.5-goal favorites) with the top implied win odds (80.0%) and best implied total (2.25).

Much has been made about Kane's form this season and whether or not he's worn out from a busy summer at the World Cup, but the guy has 5 of Tottenham's 14 league goals and he's coming off a sweet goal in midweek Champions League play against Barcelona.


There are two negatives with Kane. One, he's extremely goal-reliant in DFS, totaling 6.3, 0.0 and 8.6 FanDuel points in his three matches without a goal. Two, he's going to be chalk. For game-theory reasons, it's worth considering pivoting to Romelu Lukaku ($12,000) or possibly Lucas Moura ($8,500), Kane's teammate, but with Spurs in such a delightful spot, fading Kane is a scary proposition.
