Now at his third club, Maverick Weller comes with a history of work as a pressure forward who lets others do the scoring. This doesn't help much for fantasy purposes, as 15 touches and less than a goal per game doesn't cut it. Small forwards at Richmond have been told to play much like Weller already does, so he wont' need much encouragement to focus almost exclusively on pressure acts, shepherds and other things that don't score points in basic scoring formats. Avoid.
Weller may fit well

Maverick shot down
With the same sort of basic numbers as in the past three years, Maverick Weller's scoreboard output dropped from 24.19 to 11.18 from four less games, leading to a brief visit to the VFL late in the season. Weller handballs to better players too often for him to be of much value to fantasy coaches. Leave him on the fringes for now, as his upside is hard to see at this point.
