David Raya - Seven saves in win over Chelsea Raya allowed a goal while making seven saves during Saturday's 4-1 win over Chelsea.

Impact Raya allowed the opening goal of the match in the 48th minute, but held Chelsea from there as Brentford came from behind for all three points. The keeper has now allowed 19 goals in 17 league starts while his seven saves upped his season total to 60.

Vitaly Janelt - Signs contract extension Janelt agreed to terms on a new contract with Brentford through 2026 on Friday.

Impact Janelt has started 21 of his 24 appearances for the club this season in which he has registered two goals on 22 shots (10 on target), 35 crosses (six accurate) and 11 corners. While he is unlikely to lead the team in crosses, Janelt is still capable of producing top-half fantasy value the rest of the way this season.

Christian Eriksen - Returns with Danish national team Eriksen (COVID) featured for the Danish national team over the international break and should be fit for Saturday's trip to Chelsea.

Impact Eriksen played in two matches against Netherlands and Serbia, scoring goals in both, one as a substitute and one as a starter. He appears to be over his recent bout with COVID and may receive a starting spot in Saturday's trip to London, where he could be a serviceable play despite a tough matchup against a top side.

Tarique Fosu - Gets first minutes of season Fosu played 16 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Leicester City.

Impact Fosu was getting minutes with the youth squad over the past month and moved into the senior squad for Sunday's match, possibly because Christian Eriksen was out with COVID-19. Fosu isn't expected to have much of a role the rest of the way, but he's at least healthy after tearing his hamstring back in November.

Pelenda Da Silva - Eligible to return after break Dasilva served his three-match suspension and is eligible for Brentford's trip to Chelsea following the international break.

Impact Dasilva was on back-to-back starts when he got this red card, but it's hard to see him returning to that role. Christian Eriksen is now a regular starter for them and Dasilva will have to fight for one of the other two midfield positions, which could take some work given his most recent performance.

Rico Henry - Extends Brentford contract Henry signed a new contract with Brentford, keeping him at the club until 2026.

Impact Henry has been one of Brentford's most consistent players the last few years and has compiled 25 starts in the current campaign. Outside of a minor hamstring injury earlier in the season, he's been a regular in the starting XI, producing two goals from 10 shots and 50 crosses.

David Raya - Poor in loss Raya made two saves and no clearances during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Raya only faced four shots and managed two saves during Sunday's disappointing loss. Brentford and Raya had a chance throughout the match, but in the end Raya let his side down. He will hope to bounce back against Chelsea after the international break, in what should be one of the toughest matches left for Raya.

Mathias Jensen - Five corners in loss Jensen sent in five corners and created one chance during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Jensen took over a surprising role on set-pieces, something he has picked up occasionally. Christian Eriksen eats into Jensen's value, but when Eriksen is out of the starting XI, Jensen is worth considering. Next up is a trip to Stamford Bridge after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Pontus Jansson - Four shots from defense Jansson shot four times (once on goal) during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Jansson registered four shots despite lining up at central defense, in a strange match. While it was a nice boon for fantasy managers it's not worth expecting Jansson to more than double his season total for shots in any match. Jansson will be a reliable if lackluster play against Chelsea next time out.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Bryan Mbeumo - Assists Sunday Mbeumo provided one assist on two chances created during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Mbeumo provided a single assist during Sunday's loss, adding two shots on goal as well. The forward has been a relatively consistent fantasy provider, though he has often moved over the left midfield instead of starting up top. Mbeumo will be back in the starting XI against Chelsea after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Yoane Wissa - Nets in loss Wissa scored once on one shot during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester.

Impact Wissa scored his first goal since January, as he continues to struggle for minutes and form. The forward has only made seven Premier League starts and isn't a major fantasy option, even with 22 appearances. Wissa will likely be on the bench after the international break.

MARCH 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Eriksen - Out with COVID Eriksen is not in the match day squad for Sunday's match with Leicester after testing positive for COVID-19.

Impact Eriksen will miss out on the trip to Leicester, but could be available again following the international break for Brentford's match at Chelsea.
