Gabriel Jesus, Forward, Manchester City

Salary: $11,500

With Sergio Aguero likely out again, Jesus should make his third consecutive start for the Citizens. Jesus is tied with three other players as the fourth-highest priced forward, and he has averaged 10.71 FanDuel points per match this season, although his average in his four starts is 22.22 FanDuel points -- a number which greatly skewed due to a 57.6-point performance against the Terriers.

The Citizens are the favorite against the Blues at Stamford Bridge, per FanDuel Sportsbook, and the match has a 61.5% probability of going over 2.5 goals. Jesus has placed nine shots on target in his four starts this season but only one in his lone road start, and he has a 50% chance of finding the back of the net, per oddsmakers.

Chelsea have allowed the third-fewest goals this season (13), including just seven on their home pitch, and have given up the third-fewest chances created (101) and third-fewest shots (135) to all positions this season while allowing the sixth-fewest shots (2.24) per 90 minutes to forwards over the last five matchweeks.

DFS players have not had many opportunities to roster Jesus as a starter much this season and may be intrigued by the allure of this top-five matchup, but Jesus’ performance in his previous three starts does not justify his price, especially with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang priced just $1,000 more.
