AFL FANTASY TAKE
Preuss averaged 50.0pts from 3 games at the Demons in 2020 , he averaged 62.5pts as solo ruck in 2 games (16Min Qtrs).
Matt Flynn & Shane Mumford have taken over No.1 ruck responsibilities this season, in Round 10 they played in a dual ruck set-up against West Coast.

Giants senior coach Leon Cameron has been extremely mindful of the heavy workload on Shane Mumford this season, Matt Flynn has been a decent fantasy scoring option this season.
Preuss is not a target for the foreseeable future this season.
