✕ AVOID

Newton is now injured, making him a clear avoid regardless of his modest $125.4k price and 18 BE. The Eagles' forward line was already congested before he got hurt, and the intel flagged him as a 'wait and see' from the jump — this is the worst-case outcome. Steer clear until there's a confirmed return date and a clear path to senior selection.
