It's the end of the line for a high-performing cheapie following confirmation that he's back to the bench this week, but most of the big guns are present and ready to fire ahead of Round 22.

Here is our look over the big team news from a Fantasy point of view, including the emergence of a couple of point of difference players who could make an impact for coaches on the run home. 

NRL Fantasy teams analysis: Round 22

Wests Tigers v Cowboys, Thursday at Leichhardt Oval

Wests Tigers: With John Bateman out of the picture now, Reuben Porter (MID/EDG, $382k) is a good chance of having a starting role for the rest of the season. With a score of 44 in his only 80-minute game so far, he's a decent cash-down prospect in Classic and a nice pickup in Draft. There's not a heap of other Fantasy-relevant stuff going on at the Wests Tigers, with Lachlan Galvin their only player averaging above 50 this year. 

Cowboys: The in-form Heilum Luki returns from a week out and joins Jeremiah Nanai in a Fantasy-favourable back row. Following last week's 44, HOK Reece Robson now has three-straight games with scores under 50, despite playing every minute of all those contests. North Queensland's most popular Fantasy player, Reuben Cotter, is out this week after suffering a head knock in Round 21 and with their final bye to come in Round 25 he's a possible sell.

Warriors v Eels, Friday at Go Media Stadium

Warriors: Shaun Johnson returns to the halves at the expense of Te Maire Martin, which means Chanel Harris-Tavita keeps his spot and should continue to be a handy loophole option or short-term bench player. Dylan Walker is now a big-minute starting MID who is producing keeper scores (L3 average of 58.7) and he remains a bargain get at $567k. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck had a nice run of scoring at fullback but moves out to the wing this week.

Eels: After initially appearing to have been a disastrous pickup in Fantasy, Brendan Hands has scored 41 in each of his past two games and should be viewed as a contender for a bench spot if you have him. Back-rowers Shaun Lane and Bryce Cartwright showed glimpses of last year's Fantasy form with scores of 70 and 62 last week, but neither has given reason to suggest they are capable of replicating that regularly on the run home. $321k Luca Moretti is a potential cash-down option at MID who has scores of 38 and 55 in his past two appearances.

Dolphins v Roosters, Friday at HBF Park, Perth

Dolphins: Max Plath rewarded those who stuck with him through a recent downturn with a 64-point haul last week. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow fell back to reality with a 30, but nonetheless he's likely to be a popular trade target ahead of Round 23 when many coaches will be looking for a replacement for James Tedesco (bye). HLF Isaiya Katoa has a L3 average of 53.7 and is available for $585k this week. 

Roosters: The return of Joey Manu from a hand injury adds another potential elite player to the WFB and CTR pool, but with the Roosters having the bye next week he's one to hold fire on for the time being. After a brilliant middle part of the season Connor Watson, who has now gained DPP status as both a MID and HOK, has had his minutes reduced and fallen away in Fantasy, but for now he's not a sell.

Titans v Broncos, Saturday at Cbus Super Stadium

Titans: AJ Brimson's name returns to the extended squad as he works back from a groin injury, but owners of Keano Kini need not stress right now, with the $648k WFB a good chance of retaining that role given how the side is going. If he does get moved back to the bench then Kini is an immediate sell if you have the trades, with a break even of 64 meaning his value will plummet with reduced minutes. Powerhouse EDG David Fifita is now the fourth most consistent player in all of Fantasy and hasn't registered a score under 50 in any of his 15 games this season. 

Broncos: Brisbane's Fantasy big guns flexed their muscle last week, with Payne Haas and Patrick Carrigan racking up scores of 70 and 62 respectively. Ahead of Round 22 there are still 28 percent of coaches who own Xavier Willison, but with the MID/EDG now a 20-point player it's time to move off him if you want to get any value out of him. Barring injuries he's unlikely to score well enough to be in your 17 from here.

Storm v Dragons, Saturday at AAMI Park

Storm: The Tyran Wishart experience was a goodie for Fantasy coaches, but is over now with confirmation he's back to being a bench player. Wishart is a must-sell ahead of Round 22 if you want to extract maximum value, with a break even of 47 that he might not get close to. This week will give us a good feel for whether or not Jahrome Hughes remains an elite HLF with Cameron Munster back beside him, while there's still value in $422k EDG/CTR Jack Howarth who has a L3 average of 46. 

Dragons: With an elevated role last week Hame Sele was a surprise 57-point scorer, with the mark achieved despite him also missing a season-high five tackles for -10 points. Jacob Liddle continues to be a consistent presence at HOK, while both Jaydn Su'A and Luciano Leilua are lowly-owned EDG players with top tier potential on their day.

Sharks v Rabbitohs, Saturday at PointsBet Stadium

Sharks: Braydon Trindall impressed again with a 57-point outing this week and is putting together a strong case for being a cut-price keeper HLF. He's $551k this week and has a break even of 14, so if you want to take a punt on him this is probably the time. Briton Nikora crashed back to reality with a 32 in Round 21 but remains a handy POD option if you have him. Both Jesse Ramien and Kayal Iro are keeper CTRs for the final stretch of the season. 

Rabbitohs: Cameron Murray returns from suspension and takes up a role on the edge, leaving Keaon Koloamatangi to continue his brilliant run of form at lock which has seen him average 67 points across his past five games. Murray's return means Tallis Duncan drops back to the bench after a nice starting stint in which he carved out a L3 average of 49.3. Jack Wighton is owned by nearly 13 percent of teams at this point but is a high-ceiling CTR option.

Panthers v Knights, Sunday at BlueBet Stadium

Panthers: A 112-point haul last week, coupled with the fact that he's still available for the relatively low price of $874k, will mean Nathan Cleary likely shoots up above 40 percent ownership before Round 22 kicks off. If you're on the hunt for an elite MID that's set to play every game from here then Isaah Yeo is your man this week, with a modest $772k price tag. With Dylan Edwards still not ready to go due to a knee injury, rookie Isaiah Iongi gets a run at the back following Daine Laurie suffering concussion. 

Knights: Coach Adam O'Brien has left Jackson Hastings out of the 17 which means a move into the halves for Phoenix Crossland. That makes for tough viewing for the glut of coaches who moved off Jayden Brailey in recent weeks, with the veteran now likely to command big minutes at hooker once again and probably return to being a 40-point scorer. Still owned by just 2.6 percent of teams, Greg Marzhew is a nice POD option at WFB right now with a high ceiling.

Bulldogs v Raiders, Sunday at Belmore Sports Ground

Bulldogs: Don't even think about taking the bait on Connor Tracey's 88 last week, which came out of nowhere after three-straight scores under 40. Jacob Preston is an excellent POD option at EDG, with just 2.33 percent ownership right now and a 54.3 average across his past three games. The return of Josh Addo-Carr from injury signals the end of Jeral Skelton's handy run on the wing. Matt Burton only had 44 points in Round 21 but remains a nice alternative at HLF if you opt to stay away from Nathan Cleary, with a 59.7 L3 average. 

Raiders: Hudson Young is being slept on in Fantasy circles right now, with a whopping last three game average of 72 and just 1.78 percent ownership. Jamal Fogarty is a genuine keeper and a potential POD at HLF if you don't want to go with one of the more popular options there. Tom Starling maintained big minutes last week and looks like being an absolute steal for those who jumped on him over the past few weeks, and the good news is it's still not too late if you haven't got him, with the $500k HOK having a break even of three.
