Scores in derby defeat Navarro scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 5-3 loss versus Real Salt Lake.

Impact Navarro took advantage of a few clumsy decisions from Real Salt Lake, and while he was benefited from a rebound that allowed him to face Zac MacMath one-on-one, it's worth noting Navarro's chipped finish was nothing short of outstanding as well. Navarro needs to be more consistent in front of goal to have value as a fantasy alternative, but he's getting there after finding the back of the net in each of Colorado's last four games. He's up to eight goals in the current campaign.
