Rookie Review – Round 17

A great week for a lot of rookies giving some tough choices for the final rounds. Looping rookies on field could be a real option over the next few weeks.

Shanahan Looks to be the best trade target this week after a great 2nd game. There are some other decent options but he is the best one.
