Edwards scored 39 in R7 — his second AFL game — well above his 18 BE at $119.9k. His debut (56 pts, 5 clearances) drew high praise and community confirms he has been retained. At minimum price with role now secured across two games, Edwards is a cash cow lock. Lower R7 score than debut is irrelevant — he is generating at the lowest possible buy-in.
