Forward - Troy Deeney, Watford ($8,000)

Deeney returned to action just before the international break and is back in his familiar role of leading the line for Watford. Prior to last week, when the entire Watford team struggled against Liverpool, Deeney had created at least two chances in three straight games from his advanced role.

Deeney remains one of Watford's highest rated players. He also remains the top choice on penalty kicks for the Hornets. He has also drawn at least one foul in all but two games this season.

What often goes overlooked is Deeney's contribution defensively. He is called upon on opponent set pieces to win the header and clear the danger. He has at least one clearance in all but one match this season and had a season high of four against Southampton before the international break.

Leicester and Watford are evenly matched with Leicester allowing 11 shots per match, just slightly more than Watford. Both teams are likely to score according to the FanDuel Sportsbook. Deeney will likely be involved if Watford find the back of the net.
