Congratulations! Well deserving!
I am going to predict Doug Martin is the week 8 Rookie of the Week
I think that’s a pretty safe prediction.
He ripped through the Giants D but Luck should have won
I have a feeling one of this weeks ROW on week 8 will be a no namer and a surprise. We havent had that yet really. Not like last year
I missed this week’s vote due to illness, very disappointing that Luck didn’t win!
