Patrick Dangerfield continued his incredible AFL Fantasy form on the weekend with another massive score against the Eagles.

Dangerfield top-scored for Adelaide with a mammoth 142 points from 36 possessions, eight tackles and six marks. It was the third-best score by a Crow this season and had him ranked No.7 of all players for the round.

The 25-year-old midfielder has been far and away Adelaide’s best Fantasy performer this year. Dangerfield is the only Crow averaging over 100 points per round and he’s now notched six triple-figure scores from his past seven games.

He’s a must-have player heading towards league finals.

Defender Rory Laird is emerging as one of Adelaide’s great stories in Season 2015. The former rookie notched 107 points at Domain Stadium on Saturday night from a career-best 31 possessions and seven marks.

It took Laird until Round Nine for his first triple-figure total of the year, but he’s now posted four tons from last five outings – adding almost $100k to his price in the process.

‘Dos’ has a break even of just 79 for this week’s Showdown XXXIX and could be a handy point of difference down back.

By the numbers: Round 15

Debutant Riley Knight will be one of the most traded-in players heading into Round 16 after an impressive showing in the west.

The second-year Crow collected 13 touches, five marks and kicked two goals for a handy 73 points. Knight has already jumped by over $20k and has a break even of -9 should he hold his spot for Sunday’s clash with the Power.

He’s an ideal downgrade target with dual-position FWD/MID flexibility at a bargain price of $143,000. If you’re looking for easy money, Knight’s your man.

There’s also some value to be found in young gun Matt Crouch, who produced his best score of the season with a 94 against West Coast.

A tough midfielder who knows how to find the footy in close, Crouch equalled his career-best tally of 28 disposals and laid five tackles in what was the second-highest score of his short career, behind a 110 against GWS last season.

Crouch is slowly starting to establish himself in the senior team after an injury-affected summer and could have a strong finish to the season if he can continue his current run. He’s a speculative selection at $357,000, but the 20-year-old ball magnet will only improve with more games under his belt.
