Tim Hightower is Active For Saturday: Fantasy Implications
Tim Hightower is playing on Saturday. We break down the fantasy implications.
Analysis: Hightower tore his ACL last year and his rehab hasn't gone quite as well as guys like Adrian Peterson and Jamaal Charles. He has been handled with kid gloves by the coaching staff in training camp. Before the start of training camp, Robert Griffin III said that Hightower was the guy, but that story has lost a lot of momentum. The Richmond product is among the elite in pass protection and has caught double-digit receptions in a game during his five-year career. As for the rest, Royster knee injury is believed to be minor and he's just dealing with some swelling while Roy Helu has tendinitis in both Achilles. Royster should be the first Washington back off the board in your draft.
