To put things in perspective, the guy in 1st place has Deitz, Ogden, Averillo, Milford... not the best cows in the shed.
He also has J Paulo who has scored a try in both games.

Sure but the only thing that has changed slightly since preseason is his run metres. We knew he was starting second row, we knew he had a soft start playing Manly and Tigers, we knew he scores tries pretty regularly as a starter. I see it ending poorly for everyone who wouldn't consider him in preseason, but now willing to pay an extra 80k because he scored a few tries. Screams of chasing scores

Also not seeing many options to replace Davey with 33k spare only seeing Alvaro as an option currently!

You'd be sitili to think he could score a try every week

One thing about the current top of the rankings is that after just 2 rounds, it can be easily skewed by 1 or 2 outlier performances.

Similar to Paulo as mentioned by Chewie, anyone with Brett Morris in their team has a higher chance of being near the top because he's averaged 84 over the first 2 weeks.
That doesn't mean people that have him are necessarily setup for long term success (and i think most people on this forum would be of the opinion that they aren't going to be at the top long term)

A more difficult question is work out whether Reed Mahoney is a great fantasy buy that will sustain people at the top of the rankings, or whether he is a flash in the pan who is about to revert to his normal scoring.

flash in the pan:

One of the issues in looking at him pre-season was trying  to work out which of his low scores last year were due to low base, and which were due to him moving centre mid game. It all became a bit hard so I end ed up elsewhere (Jacob Host - what a smart move that was!)

After 2 weeks I am pretty sure he is good value based on his starting price. In games without tries he will still score fairly well.
Whether that translates to being value at his current price (and using a trade to get him) is another question

I think at this point I'd rather spring the extra cash for Josh Jackson.
