Zanka, Defender, Huddersfield

FanDuel Price: $6,000

Zanka is one of the few defenders on this slate with any semblance of an appealing floor, although his ceiling isn't super high. Still, on this slate, his floor is pretty enticing if you're paying up at defender.

With Huddersfield at Newcastle, Zanka should be busy, per usual. He's produced single-digit fantasy points just twice in his last 14 starts, and it's due to how often Huddersfield soak up pressure from the other team. Zanka should be a great source of tackles, interceptions and clearances on Saturday.

Playing at Newcastle is a far cry from playing away to a big-six team, but this is a massive game for Newcastle, who will undoubtedly view a home matchup against last-place Huddersfield as a stellar chance to pick up three points in their relegation battle. In short, this game is vital for Newcastle, and they will likely be more attack-minded than usual.

If it's ceiling you're after, you can look to a full-back with a better shot at getting an assist or goal, but if you want a solid floor, Zanka is your man.
