Riak Andrew missed R3 with injury and there's no intel to suggest a return is imminent, making him impossible to trust for cash generation. At $119.9k with an 18-point BE he's priced as a lottery ticket, but with zero ownership and no preseason noise, there's no signal to act on. Avoid until Sydney confirm his status and role.
