nelsosi Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Even if Hightower is out ( reports of torn ACL) don't get sucked into this backfield. Just don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Even if Hightower is out ( reports of torn ACL) don't get sucked into this backfield. Just don't do it. Not good advice , if Hightower is done for the season that leaves Torain and Helu , certainly a good bet for a lowend RB2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 And it'll be a different guy each week. Don't do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I drafted Hightower and Helu in most leagues this year. I think this is Helu's time to shine, especially if Torrain lays another dud. WAS is in the playoff hunt and Helu looks nifty and strong. I'm excited about the potential for Helu. I'm sorry for Hightower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brentastic Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) So there are conflicting reports. Shanahanigans strikes again, even at the expense of poor ol' Timmy H. From CBS Sportsline: Tim Hightower, RB WASNews: Washington RB Tim Hightower returned to his starting role on Sunday in Week 7 at Carolina. Hightower started and Ryan Torain didn't even see the field until after halftime in the game. Hightower rushed 17 times for 88 yards before injuring his knee in the game. Hightower headed to the locker room on a cart and could not return for Washington, as Torain took over the running game. Hightower suffered a sprained left knee and avoided serious injury as he says he did not feel a pop in the knee. Hightower underwent X-rays that came back negative and initial ACL tests were good news as well. That said, his knee is sore and he'll undergo an MRI Monday.

Kris N Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 bills are not good vs the run so torain or helu is worth a pickup for sure. i'm leaning towards torain but u never know. i'm hoping hightower is out a few weeks so i can use torain as a fill in til my boy best returns from concussion (i'm hoping week 10 after their bye). the mri results will have a lot of people's attention tomorrow, but know shanahan he wont release them and we'll all be strung along AGAIN by that fantasy hating scoundrel.

Kris N Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 true. but at least ur down to flipping a coin rather than picking a name from a hat. the odds of getting the guess right have increased and against the bills run defense its a good risk to take.
