Blessing has been a rotational piece for the Houston lineup thus far in 2024, having made 14 appearances (seven starts). However, considering his recent run of form, it will be worth monitoring forthcoming lineup selections to see if Blessing has earned a longer run in the starting XI.

Clark and the Houston backline will look to right the ship Saturday when they face a reeling DC united who haven't scored in their last two matches.

Griffin Dorsey - Busy offensively in draw Dorsey had five shots (two on target), created four chances, sent in three crosses (one accurate), made two clearances and suffered two fouls during Saturday's 2-2 draw against Atl...

Impact Dorsey didn't have his usual defensive workload but the flip side of it was the room he had to go up the field and be involved in several dangerous plays, which included participating in both of his team's goals. The full-back is mostly known for his solid showings on the less glamourous side of the ball but more performances like this on the attacking end would definitely take his fantasy value to a whole new level.

The goalkeeper, who was having a campaign full of ups and downs prior to his injury, will try to bounce back during Wednesday's home clash against Seattle.
