Sergio Rico, Goalie, Fulham

FanDuel Price: $5,500

This is as tough of a slate for goalies as we've had all year. The lack of favorites means that not only is it hard to find a keeper with quality win odds, it's also tough to pick one who we can feel good about seeing a bunch of shots.

It's not a bad slate to punt and pray while spending all your coin at the forward and midfielder spots.

But among the top-priced goalies, Rico checks a few boxes.

Let's get this out of the way: Fulham have the worst defense in the EPL, allowing an astounding 76 goals in 35 matches. Rostering Rico in any match -- even in a nice home matchup with Cardiff -- could blow up in our faces. On the flip side, Fulham's poor defense means Rico should have to make a few saves, giving him a respectable floor, and Fulham are one of the bigger favorites on the slate (42.6% implied win odds, per FanDuel Sportsbook).

You're going to have to talk yourself into -- and overlook some negatives with -- one of the keepers on this slate. Fulham have two straight clean sheets and are playing at home against one of the league's worst teams. You could do worse than plugging in Rico.
