Taranto dropped a ton in Richmond's 37-point home loss to Adelaide — 100 in a game where his side were being beaten comprehensively is a standout individual performance. Clears his 75 BE with room to spare and locks in his 102.8 average at $512k. He headlines Richmond's R9 inclusions back into the midfield rotation with Prestia the expected out. Cash gen is essentially flat but this is premium scoring at premium price — hold him and captain-loop eligible.
