Peats already plays big minutes a lot. Not every week, but often, and a lot of the times he didn't was because of injury.
Post origin last year, Peats averaged 68 minutes (and 42 fantasy points) with Rein on the bench (12 games)
If Rein is replaced by Brimson, how many minutes do you think he'll get, and more importantly, what points will he get.
In games last year where Peats played 75 minutes or more, he scored 46. He is priced at 36.
I think some of his big minutes last year were resting Jai Arrow at lock when Arrow was nursing a rib injury. If Arrow is fit as many are assuming, does that mean less time for Peats giving him a rest.
Ideally you would wait a week or 2 to see how the Gold COast rotation plays out, but certainly Peats is someone who might see an increase in ownership if TLT falls favourably.
