SUMMARY

Running Back Rank: #64
Overall: #306

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.

Washington Redskins RB Tim Hightower (knee) should enter training camp as the No. 1 running back, provided his left knee has recovered from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Hightower provides the most all-around game of all the team's backs because of his pass-protection skills.

Fantasy Impact: We don't buy this as Roy Helu proved late last season he could start and perform at a high level. He has a lot more upside than Hightower.
