The usage of Nat Fyfe in 2022 will be interesting from senior coach Justin Longmuir, Fyfe is a combative type player but he’s obviously more important in the team compared to on the sidelines.

He was used at 46.5% of centre bounces across the season & 67.7% of games he played in (15).

Fyfe is still likely an avoid for season long fantasy at Round 1, he is likely to have low ownership. 

His ADP will still slide in single season draft leagues.
