Fantasy Impact: Jason Horne-Francis is a live chance to make an early season debut in 2022, his initial fantasy output should be solid through what is likely to be a forward/midfield role.
The longer term fantasy output is quite appealing as he develops into a genuine inside midfielder that can hit the scoreboard.
