Midfielder - Will Hughes, Watford ($6,500)

Hughes is a midfielder that earns most of his fantasy points through defensive contributions. However, this is a game that he can be involved in offensively as well. He does have a goal this season, and he has created at least one scoring chance in every game except the league opener.

He is one of the midfielders that interchange in Watford's unconventional 4-2-2-2. That should have a more offensive outlook this week in a game that history suggests will have some goals. Watford have scored at least two goals in their last four matches against Bournemouth. There have also been over 2.5 goals scored in six of Bournemouth's last seven matches.

Hughes ceiling goes up based on the history of this match, but a solid defensive contribution should be expected. He averages over six defensive actions per match. His form of late had some calling for an international call-up. Luckily his pricing on FanDuel has stayed low, so get him while the value is there.
