Cheat Sheet and Projections
We've reviewed every player from every team to help you make the best picks on Sunday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Terrell May (WST, FLEX/FWD) | $21,000 | 69 | 3.3 |
| Value | Siosiua Taukeiaho (MAN, FLEX/FWD) | $10,010 | 46.8 | 4.7 |
| Fade | Jake Simpkin (MAN, FLEX/HH) | $10,820 | 13.8 | 1.3 |
| Cheapie | Jazz Tevaga (MAN, HH/FLEX) | $9,480 | 42.9 | 4.5 |
According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they're expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options highlight the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.
In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.
The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

Conclusion
In DFS, creating an optimal line-up requires understanding key concepts and metrics. When building your NRL Sunday Round 4 teams, consider starting with a value player like Siosiua Taukeiaho. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Terrell May is a strong option. If you're looking for budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, explore our cheapie options, including Jazz Tevaga.
On the other hand, according to our model, Jake Simpkin is one of the lowest value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if building multiple line-ups.
