The second day of trade advice week here at The Hazean takes a look at this year’s rookie class, which Marc has been tracking every week from a fantasy standpoint in the Rookie Report.

The rookies worth trading for in dynasty and keeper leagues before the deadline are broken down below by cost, fashion style. I apologize in advance to those of you who are not fans of Banana Republic, Gap or T.J. Maxx. Or fashion in general.

But if you feel comfortable doing so, share your fashion favorites in the comments. You also can comment on football, too, if you want.

The Banana Republic Rookies

These guys are upscale, trendy and of the highest quality. They also will cost you a pretty penny in trades this week:

Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets
Matthew Stafford, QB, Lions
Beanie Wells, RB, Cardinals
LeSean McCoy, RB, Eagles
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Broncos
Michael Crabtree, WR, 49ers
Percy Harvin, WR, Vikings

The Gap Rookies

These guys are affordable for those of you with expendable fantasy equity, will not break the bank and still look pretty good:

Josh Freeman, QB, Buccaneers
Donald Brown, RB, Colts
Shonn Greene, RB, Jets
Glen Coffee, RB, 49ers
Hakeem Nicks, WR, Giants
Jeremy Maclin, WR, Eagles
Austin Collie, WR, Colts

The T.J. Maxx Rookies

For the bargain shoppers out there, perhaps a diamond-in-the-rough is lurking somewhere on the sales racks. These guys could be knock-offs but they look like the real thing sometimes:

Bernard Scott, RB, Bengals
Rashad Jennings, RB, Jaguars
Kenny Britt, WR, Titans
Mike Wallace, WR, Steelers
Mike Thomas, WR, Jaguars
Brandon Gibson, WR, Rams
Brandon Pettigrew, TE, Lions
