Essendon forward Paul Chapman is the big mover this week, after an impressive start to the year. Chapman is fit and enjoying a new lease of life at his new club, and was born to play in rivalry games like this week's Essendon-Carlton match-up.

Aaron Sandilands is a behemoth on the field and in fantasy football, and is our No. 1-ranked ruckman again. If he remains healthy most of the year the Dockers will be close to unbeatable.

Pearce Hanley has a favourable match-up and forces himself into the top five, while Scott Pendlebury is unlucky not to be top among midfielders after two commanding performances. We are backing Ablett in to rebound from a quiet game against gun stopper Ryan Crowley.
