Sol Bamba, Defender, Cardiff

Salary: $6,500

Central defenders aren't included in this piece often, but Bamba's salary and remarkable consistency make him an excellent choice for lineups that choose to fade Kane. Lineups that include Kane likely won't be paying up at defender, which should lower Bamba's ownership and make him an excellent option for tournaments this weekend.

Further lowering Bamba's ownership is the presence of Wolves' defender Matt Doherty ($6,500), who is in excellent form, with FanDuel point totals of 31.5, 20.4, and 29.1 in his last three matches. With Wolves favored at home, he should draw the majority of ownership from those who do choose to pay up at defender.

With only two goals scored this season, Bamba has managed to average 22.71 FanDuel points per match. In his 15 starts, he has failed to reach double-digit points only once and has failed to reach 20 points just five times. He has produced more than 30 points four times and has been one of the best defenders on FanDuel all season. Playing on the road against Watford, Cardiff is the second-largest underdogs on the slate, which should keep Bamba busy.
