Round 18 presented a unique landscape for Fantasy players, primarily due to the emergence of WFBs (wing fullbacks) and lesser-known players making an impact.
NRL.com.au reports that this round marked the conclusion of the significant bye weeks for 2025.
Historically seen as a challenging position in Fantasy leagues, WFBs now claimed the top three spots in the total points chart, indicating a shift in player performance.
Notably, while Dual Position Players (DPP) who are Halves/WFBs were previously popular money-makers, only 5.2 percent of teams benefited from one standout player's breakout game this week.
The unusual dynamics of Round 18 provided plenty of surprises and a deeper look into player performances, particularly focusing on WFBs and the notable contributions from lesser-owned athletes.
