Goalkeepers
Eloy Room was roughed up for three goals in Wednesdayās CCL clash against Monterrey, but heās in a good spot to get back on track at home against D.C. United. Heās kept back-to-back clean sheets to start the 2021 season, and heāll look to keep his shutout streak going against a D.C. group that has just one goal through their first two road games.

Defenders
Who had Brad Smith leading ALL players after the first three weeks of the MLS Fantasy season?Ā Heās emerged as a fantasy standout with a league-best 34 points through three games, and even in a tough road matchup at Portland weāre going back to the well in Week 4. Heās taken three or more shots in all three appearances and he has a goal in consecutive outings. That kind of attacking firepower can set your team apart from the pack when heās firing on all cylinders.

Midfielders
Lucas Zelarayan has sputtered out of the gate to start the season, averaging just four points per game across two appearances. A home matchup against a D.C. United side that conceded four goals in Week 3 should be just what the Argentine playmaker needs to get back on track. Also worth monitoring is the status of Nicolas Lodeiro, who logged 24 minutes off the bench last week. If he returns to the starting lineup for Sundayās rivalry match at Portland, he immediately becomes a top target even with a potential minute restriction.

Forwards
Javier āChicharitoā Hernandez came up empty handed in Week 3, but heās in prime position to get back among the goals in Saturdayās star-studded El Trafico clash. Chicharito currently sits atop the MLS Golden Boot presented by Audi standings with five goals through three games, and he leads all forwards with 32 fantasy points. Heās sure to see chances come his way in a game that could produce multiple goals, and if he can put them away it would be no surprise to see him replicate his 18 point haul from Week 2. Similar to Lodeiro above, keep an eye on Carlos Velaās status as he would instantly become a priority fantasy option if heās fit to start.
