Summary

Running Back Rank: #140All Players: #586

Hightower had his season cut short because of a torn ACL in Week 7. He was playing well before the injury, rushing 17 times for 88 yards. Hightower had 80-plus total yards three of his six games he played. He actually was the starter many of the games he played with the Redskins. Hightower wasn't too explosive, though, averaging just 3.8 yards per carry. Hightower is expected to be ready for the start of the coming year and at age 26, Hightower still has plenty of life left in his legs. Hightower has never been a huge producer. His career high in rushing is 736. He is best suited in spot duty. Hightower is a powerful back with pretty good speed but isn't a game changer. He also is a solid receiver, giving him value in a third-down back role.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

Hightower was once a dependable red-zone option but has just seven touchdowns the last two seasons after having 18 his first two years in the league. His lack of scores hurts his fantasy value. He is worth a look as a No. 4 back because he'll get some total yards and normally can be counted on for 20-plus receptions. Expect a season with around 600 total yards and a couple scores.

The Washington Redskins like RB Tim Hightower (knee) as their starting running back if he is healthy; however, Hightower is not fully healthy at the moment, leaving the team's backfield situation up in the air.
Fantasy Impact: Yeah, we have no idea who will be the starting back for the Redskins to open the season. Even if healthy, we don't think Hightower is the best choice, though.
