Keeps clean sheet in win Santos kept a clean sheet and put two shots off target during Sunday's 2-0 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Santos has kept two clean sheets in his last four matches but has also conceded two yellow cards and sits on the edge of a suspension for accumulation of bookings. Should he stay out of the referee's attention, Santos could hold decent value as he's logged seven crosses and five tackles in the last two games. Up next is a visit from New England.

Misses penalty in draw Santos took two shots (one on goal) and missed one penalty attempt during Sunday's scoreless draw with Philadelphia.

Impact Santos also conceded his fourth yellow card of the season during a disappointing performance. With just one goal scored all season and an average 48 crosses in 16 games played, Santos has struggled just as much in his own efforts as without the top-tier striker his side have recently lacked. Up next is a trip to Chicago, and it should be interesting to see if Santos changes his game when Cucho Hernandez enters the lineup around that time.
