The first of the byes begin this week. No matter what your method is during this period, we look to bring you some names that could help you out.

James Stewart (ESS|FWD|$169,800)

The former Giant had a day out last weekend, scoring 91 points in his first game for the year. If you're looking to bring in someone cheap, and create some cap space, Stewart could be your man. He has the ability to kick two or three goals a game, and will only improve the more comfortable he gets in the side.

Dan Hannebery (SYD|MID|$560,000)

The star midfielder was written off by many at the start of the year, however looked to return to some serious form last week (134 points) against the Roos. This week the Swans match-up against the Saints, a side Hannebery has a very good record against. He averaged 34 disposals over the past three games against the side.

Lachie Whitfield (GWS|MID|$441,600)

He made his return to football last week after spending time out with suspension. He produced a solid game, scoring 96 points. Bringing Whitfield in is a risky move, however he has the ability to produce premium midfield scores, and is currently priced as under $450K.

Jack Billings (STK|MID-FWD|$449,600)

Billings is another player who is looked to make the jump to the elite midfield range. Over the past three rounds he averages 114 points. He is another risky player, considering he has had some low scores to start the year. But if you need to take a risk to get yourself back into league contention he could be one possibility.
