Stewart for mine. Takes kick-ins, proven scoring, intercept marker in a team that likes to kick sideways and maintain possession.
Short with the Houli factor and a more one-dimensional source of scoring as well as a team that generally moves the ball with speed I think makes him a lesser target.
I have both and I'd say that both are currently right around where I expect their season average to be give or take a few points.

Mentioned it in the trades thread. I think Farrar has been more impressive in the first two games, he shut Heeney down on the weekend which would be a huge tick for JS. Atu has Hall to return so could definitely be out this week but I've been happy with his games, he's been genuinely solid for them. Both have good scoring potential in their roles. A case could be made that Robertson is worth the premium and is also worth a mention.
Farrar:
One of few to stand up vs Dogs
Managed 60 in an accountable role on Heeney
Retained his spot alongside Ballard
Is coming up against Collingwood this week and could score well in game 3.
Robertson:
The issue had been JS
Berry should return this / next week, but Neale is now out for eight and Robertson impressed.
EDIT: Berry not back this / next week, based on latest updates. Slow buildback, groin.
Atu B:
Hall and Corr could both return this week(?)
If he retains his spot under those circumstances, his JS has to be OK
If taking one this week, who are you going out of Farrar, DevRob,.Atu?

I'm likely to go Farrar, he's playing a similar position/role to Atu, but for me Farrar looks the better athlete. His speed is elite even by AFL standards - he'll get a number of cheapies in the backline and his teammates will look for him because of his speed. When you have that speed you can deliver the ball cleaner because you'll likely be in space leading to better SC scoring (a la Impey). Atu is not a bad option though and out of the three probably has the best JS. I haven't really considered Robertson TBH, possibly I should look closer at him.
Not Dev for me, mainly as I went early on him. Still didn't like his second game, you don't want to see any more like that. He was good last round and hopefully has a spot now until Neale is back - hopefully that was a one time fail.
Atu/C3PO is a toss up, I am leaning to Atu of the two, as anyone who shows anything at the Roos should have a secure role. Farrar is not looking a bad choice either though.
