Might be worse JS but better scoring which is more important going forward for teams. If Whitfield played this week my only rookies on field at the moment would be Hore, Duursma, Walsh, O’Brien and Drew so wanting some quick cash making rookies with high scoring potential over slow grind it out rookies who provide poor scoring coverage like Balta and Clark (also on my bench) who have good JS but awful scoring potential.
Here's the prospectus write up for Ham:
Brayden Ham (117k fwd): 20 years old (overlooked in the 2017 draft and played in the 2018 TAC cup as an overager). Averaged 88DT and 107 SC in the 2018 TAC Cup (up from 58SC in the 2017 TAC Cup). Kicked 22 goals from 16 games, and took the third most marks inside 50 of any general forward. Played in defence in his final seven games and averaged 7 intercept marks in those seven games. A strong runner, posted the second best Yo-Yo test score in the 2018 NAB AFL Draft Combine. Very light frame at 70 kg, 180 cm.
Pity he's not a DEF/FWD. TAC Cup fantasy scores suggest he's a decent SC prospect with his good SC/DT ratio (didn't quite show in the first game with 58 DT to 44 SC). One year older as well (like Answerth). One to watch at least.

It's all looking a bit bleak for the rookie prospects at the moment so I thought I'd sort through all of the rookie priced players to see whether there are any possibilities based on recent reports and stats from the seconds. Turns out there are quite a few. Whether or not they actually get the call-up is another story altogether.
Anyhow, here's the list I came up with. Let's cross our collective fingers and toes for some of these names to pop up sooner rather than later.
Feel free to comment on whether there are any others who you think are a chance that haven't made the list.
Rookie priced players who are a chance to make their 2019 debut over the coming weeks

@Ben's Beasts
Excellent list. I think Begley is a chance to come in as early as this week for Fantasia/Smith as well. Around a $160k fwd from memory but would have strong JS once in given the injuries.
