NRL Fantasy 2024 Part 40 - This is Magic Round because it can make your trades disappear into thin air

It is matchups like you say, and with a bye (of course) in amongst that, it's hard to imagine much of a worse upcoming draw.
That being said, a 57 without a try etc in a 48 - 6 loss, and a 49 without a try in a 40 - 6 loss, suggests he may be able to come up with enough points regardless (just less likely to have a ceiling game).

I might give it a week...
maybe

This morning Walsh withdraws due to a knee injury. That really is unfortunate timing for an injury, as lots of people will draw erroneous conclusions.

I hope his knee gets better soon.

Agreed.
IF KPP keeps getting benched, and Preston is named to start, then this may be a useful sideways trade.

Finefeuiaki
KPP
Piakura
Salmon

Cleary & Bateman being the other two trades.

Thinking Finefeuiaki on the basis that at least Piakura and Salmon are still starting and might accidentally trip over a decent score, while KPP is more likely to go back to being useful at some point.
