Cumming continues to impress as a rookie MID cash cow — 64 in a 114-point blowout loss, an excellent score given Richmond managed only 56 as a team. He cleared his 36 BE by 28 points and generated $2,917/week. The debut 80 and follow-up 80 from earlier in the season are bookended by a solid 64 post-bye. The shoulder surgery concern is post-season confirmed. Hold and ride the cash gen — he is running to the rookie script.
