Jackson Hopkins - Attempts seven crosses Hopkins attempted seven crosses during a 2-2 draw Wednesday versus Columbus.

Andy Najar - Recovers from knock Najar (knock) registered two shots (zero on target), three tackles (one won) and one cross (accurate) in 74 minutes during a 2-2 draw Wednesday versus Columbus.
Impact Najar found himself shifted to right-back under new manager Wayne Rooney after having previously featured as a central defender in a back three. If Najar continues to feature in more of a wing-back role, he could see an uptick in fantasy value, though lineups may be fluid as Rooney figures out how best to deploy his squad.

Rafael Romo - Allows two goals Romo conceded two goals during a draw Wednesday versus Columbus.
Impact Cucho Hernandez logged a brace against Romo. The keeper has more conceded goals than saves across three of his last four appearances recorded. Romo will try to redeem himself during D.C. United's next game, currently scheduled Saturday at Minnesota.
