Rypien1191 Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 The other 3 were Blount, McFadden, and Forte. Tim Hightower Redskins coach Mike Shanahan may drive fantasy owners nuts with his incessant running back-by-committee changes, but it has to be noted that Redskins running backs had nine double-digit-point games last season. This means the Shanahan magic still works in that when he does pick a ball carrier, that guy usually posts terrific fantasy football numbers. Hightower's preseason performances are giving him the inside track for the No. 1 spot on the depth chart, but the real reason to think he is worth investing a higher draft pick on is his GBYPA showing last year. His 9.4 total in that metric was tops in the league among running backs with 100 or more carries. If he can come anywhere close to matching that figure on a 200-250 carry workload, Hightower could post numbers that place him in the top 20 in running back fantasy scoring. http://insider.espn.go.com/fantasy/football/ffl/story?id=6884076 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yay for Tim Hightower, but Forte was a major disappointment as a fantasy back last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dballer Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Man I hope this guy is dead on...Obviously looking for Hightower to blow up. And I just kept RUN DMC and drafted Forte in my fantasy league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
