In no particular order, here are the players you should not think twice about picking in AFL Fantasy circles this season.
7. Zac Williams (GWS)
Position: DEF
2018 Avg: N/A
Classic: $421k
Draft: ADP 98
Returning from injury in 2019, Zac Williams is a no-brainer for Fantasy selection.
With an ADP of 96, it’s clear that Fantasy coaches are well aware of his value compared to his pre-draft ranking of 126.
Owned by 35 per cent of Fantasy Classic coaches, the GWS defender is priced at an enchanting $421k due to his absence in 2018 with an Achilles injury.
Despite not playing a senior game in 2018, fears over the durability of the Giants’ young gun will be allayed by the fact that he was able to return to play in the NEAFL at the end of last year.
With an uninterrupted preseason, Williams looks poised to build on his 2016 and 2017 averages of 82.5 and 83 where he played a significant role in GWS’ game plan as a rebounding defender.
In 16-man Draft leagues, his ADP has him going at the very end of the sixth round which could be a steal if he can boost his average into the mid-to-high 80’s.
