Ryan Torain is starting at running back for Redskins. Roy Helu will back him up. Tim Hightower is active. Redskins will ride hot hand.

Hightower starting per CBS:

Tim Hightower, RB WASNews: Washington RB Tim Hightower (shoulder) was listed as the Redskins' starter for the Week 6 game against the Eagles. Hightower is active for the game and should start over Roy Helu and Ryan Torain. Hightower, who has an interesting history against the Eagles as he hauled in the game-winning touchdown catch for Arizona in the 2008 NFC Championship game, has only managed 22 rushing attempts for 65 yards the last two games for the Redskins as Torain has emerged.

Adam Schefter reporting Torain will start

yes, I know (from the 3 posts above) - just adding news that says otherwise... FWIW, the CBS news seems more like speculation than actual fact.edited to add from CBS:

News: Washington RB Ryan Torain is actually listed by the Redskins as the third-string running back against the Eagles for the Week 6 game. Tim Hightower is starting with Roy Helu the backup. That said, Torain is still expected to be centrally featured in the Redskins running game.

Jay Glazer just said Hightower is starting

FWIW, this is what Rotoworld has:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday Countdown that Ryan Torain is expected to receive "the lion's share" of carries in the Redskins' backfield in Week 6 against the Eagles. Torain is officially starting the game.In Schefter's report, Tim Hightower was barely mentioned, while Schefter insisted the Redskins remain high on rookie Roy Helu. Helu is expected to back up Torain against the Eagles. At this point, we wouldn't be surprised if Torain was first in line for carries, Helu was second, and Hightower was a relatively distant third. As we've said all week, Hightower is not a Week 6 fantasy option. Torain should be locked into lineup as an RB2, and Helu has some appeal as a dice-roll flex play for desperate owners.
