Rory Laird is normally known as a defender who sits a kick behind a stoppage and mops up with monotonous regularity, well established as a premium fantasy back. Lately, however, he has been playing central midfield, which may not be the best fit for his talents but is more of a desperation play by a coach running out of options to arrest a calamitous slide to deal last. His fantasy scores have been terrible this year compared to what you would have paid to get him, so maybe this is the fillip for his personal scoring. His owners will hope that's the case.
