Sean Johnson - Concedes three in lossJohnson made three saves and conceded three goals during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Columbus.

ImpactJohnson made some nice stops here but at the same time was beaten three times, which included a terrible giveaway that led to the opposition's second goal. The goalkeeper, who was coming off four consecutive clean sheets, will try to get back on track during next Saturday's visit to Inter Miami.

Maxi Moralez - Plays well off bench in lossMoralez (lower body) had one shot on goal, created three chances, sent in seven crosses (two accurate) and made two tackles (one won) after coming off the bench during Saturday's 3...

ImpactMoralez was brought in the 57th minute as part of a double substitution and made an immediate impact as his side dramatically improved from that moment and even drew things level momentarily. The attacker showed he's completely recovered from the injury suffered during the previous game and should be back in the lineup for next Saturday's visit to Inter Miami.

Santiago Rodriguez - Provides assist in lossRodriguez provided an assist, had one off-target shots, created three chances, made four tackles (all won), drew three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Saturday's 3-2 loss...

ImpactRodriguez bounced back from the quiet performance on the previous match and was one of his side's best players here, being credited with an assist for Gabriel Pereira's goal, being involved in other dangerous plays and even providing defensive support, winning all his season-high four tackles. With three assists over his last five starts, the playmaker will try to remain productive during next Saturday's visit to Inter Miami.

Gabriel Pereira - Scores in lossPereira scored a goal off four shots (three on target) during Saturday's 3-2 loss against Columbus.

ImpactPereira was one of his side's biggest threats during the entire match and had luck by his side in the 64th minute, when his side from outside the box was deflected by a defender before finding the back of the net. This was the third goal over the last seven appearances (two starts) for the winger and he'll hope this helps him to remain in the lineup for the upcoming games.

Darlington Nagbe - Makes six tackles in winNagbe made six tackles (two won), one clearance, one interception and one block during Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC.

ImpactNagbe bossed the middle of the park here and his season-high six tackles were proof of the tenacity he displayed to prevent opposing playmakers from inflicting damage. Offensive numbers aren't always there for him but performances like this show how impactful he can be fantasy-wise even when limited by his main role.

Eloy Room - Concedes two in winRoom made four saves and conceded two goals during Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC.

ImpactRoom was very important for his side to win all three points, making a couple of huge saves. On the other end, the goalkeeper was very unfortunate here as both goals allowed by him came off shots deflected by center-backs and then having their paths completely changed before finding the back of the net. With four goals allowed over his last two starts, Room will try to bounce back during next Saturday's visit to Colorado.

Jonathan Mensah - Scores own goal in winMensah made seven clearances, two interceptions and three blocks, but was shown a yellow card and scored an own goal during Saturday's 3-2 win over New York City FC.

ImpactMensah was very unfortunate in the third minute of the game, when a cross from the left flank deflected off him went into the net. Then, the center-back bounced back with a very solid performance, shutting opposing strikers down during the rest of the match. Despite the early setback here, Mensah is still a top fantasy option at his position, with 88 clearances and 16 blocks over 22 starts, numbers matched or surpassed by only six other MLS players.
