Honestly I think if anyone's podding Murray, Koloamatangi, Olakau'atu or Fitzgibbon are better bets than McInnes is, they all have high upside and all three have good draws against poor defensive teams (which matters more for edge forwards)
Koloamatangi has the Tigers, Sharks, Dragons, Knights, bye and Roosters
Olakau'atu has the Dragons, Roosters, Panthers, Warriors, Bulldogs and Tigers
Fitzgibbon has the Raiders, Dolphins, Bulldogs, Rabbitohs, Sharks and Dragons
This is pretty much unsubstantiated rubbish which is anecdotal at best: "against poor defensive teams which matters more for edge forwards"
Edge forwards have the least variation for fantasy points conceded of any position...
The Eels have conceded the most statistically this season at +2.3 above the 44.6 average, the Bronco's the least at -2.6
The conceded average differential for those matchups you sited above are:
Koloamatangi +0.5
Olakau'atu +0.6
Fitzgibbon -0.2
As a comparison point the Knights have conceded 7.7 points more than average to Fullbacks and the Panthers -8.5 under average
It shouldn't surprise anyone, but those types of match-ups are more likely to create a positive point scoring affect for outside backs, but even then it's hardly a guarantee of anything in any given week
