Cardiff City M Josh Murphy ($6700) Murphy is a quiet fantasy producer averaging 10.1 points per game. The young midfielder only has one goal, but is getting points with shots and crosses. Murphy had double digit points against Burnley and Huddersfield so it’s a good chance he touches his ceiling again against 17th ranked Fulham.
Southampton F Danny Ings ($5800) Ings may not dazzle you with goals, but the English forward likes to shoot. Southampton matches against Bournemouth who allows the 10th most shots and 9th most goals.
