Brandon Cambridge - Moved to questionable Cambridge (ankle) is now questionable for Saturday's match against the Galaxy.

Impact Cambridge must have seen a sudden rise in fitness, as he was expected to be out another match but may get the chance to be on the team sheet Saturday after being labeled as questionable. However, even if he is fit, he will likely serve off the bench, as they won't want to rush him out, and he is likely set for a reserve role this campaign.

Westwood is not known for his offensive contributions as a defensive midfielder, but his fantasy upside should experience a boost if he continues to take set pieces. Westwood has two goals this season and has been an ever-present starter for Charlotte, featuring in the XI and going the full 90 in each game so far.

With just one goal and one assist over 12 league appearances this year, the attacker will hope to have his contributions being reflected on the scoresheet more frequently moving forward.
