Fantasy Impact: Izak Rankine averaged 59.0pts from 18 games in 2022 at Gold Coast, he scored a season high 105pts against West Coast in Round 1.
He averaged 13.5 disposals, 2.2 marks, 2.2 tackles & 1.6 goals.
Rankine scored fewer than 80pts in 77.8% of games.
He is likely to be used primarily in a small forward pressure type role but he can add a different dynamic to the midfield in short spurts if required.

Rankine is likely a pass in season long fantasy based on his forward role, he is likely to face premium defensive opponents each week. Any type move through the midfield should increase his scoring output but inconsistency is likely to remain in 2023.
He’s a late round speculative option in standard draft leagues only if there is any type of confirmation of a part-time midfield role.
