The Tank Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Do you think this guy has a chance of becoming more than the "1 yard Td specialist" this year? It seems like ARZ would wanna get him more involved to see what they have as the Edge is near the end? He's stil on the wire in my league... but being I failed "look at bye weeks before you make picks 101" on draft day, I can only have one reserve RB...which is currently Ray Rice,(I was hoping McGahee's injury would linger longer) until after week 4 when my wr issue is resolved. Any thoughts on this guy??....Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomfin2000 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I like Hightower better than Rice at this point, especially since McClain now seems to be in the mix in Baltimore. I think Edge will continue to be the primary ball carrier between the 20s, but Hightower is the goalline back, the change of pace back, and the hurry-up offense back. You could do a lot worse for a bye week plug in or emergency start. Also, I have a saying I live by when drafting: I draft for a SEASON not for a WEEK. That's why I took Rodgers as my backup QB after drafting Palmer as my starter even though they had the same bye week. I can pick up the scrub of the week on the waiver wire to cover a bye, but I want the best players I can get on my roster the other 12 to 16 weeks.

John Crapper Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I draft for a SEASON not for a WEEK. QFT As for Hightower, I like his situation and am taking a chance on him in 2 leagues. Hope it pans out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
