Hightowers 15 minutes of fame over? (1 Viewer)

[Da Guru]

I was hanging on to Hightower in one keeper league but it seems that Wells can do everything Hightower does but bigger, stronger and faster. Cut bait???

Until Wells gets hurt.

 

[3 hour lunch]

In a deep PPR, I'd still hang on. Wells does have an injury history, and Hightower has shown to be decent out of the backfield on quick passes.

Mr Hightower has had the proverbial Fork jabbed right through him. Over.

 

[lyon812]

He'll be a decent change-of-pace back, but yeah, Wells should dominate carries and is big enough that you shouldn't have to worry about Hightower vulturing TDs.

 

[Phlash]

2.8 ypc is not getting it done.

Yeah, but what happens when Beanie gets a Boo Boo?

The end. I think his time as 3rd down back will be over as well when they find someone better catches passes & quicker. His run as a starter was awful. He displayed none of the power he showed in the PT role early on & isn't quick enough to get to the corner.

I think he's practice squad material that got thrust into the spotlight because everyone tried of Edge averaging sub-4 ypc.

there is every chance the Cardinals did that in the 7th round by picking up LaRod Stephens-Howling

You trade Hightower as fast as you can to the Beanie owner for something with a little bit of value.

I'd only offer used gum for Hightower at this point.

*shrugs*

The guy amassed 10 TDs last season.

They'll bring back 46 year old Edge, just like they did in the postseason.

Everyone makes fun of Edge, but he looked pretty damn good in the playoffs. He obviously has a lot of tread but he's only 30 right now (31 by the season) and having last year off most of the year probably helped give him a little juice.Since he's likely to be cut, I can see him actually having more value than Hightower. COuld he go within the division? Seattle, who EVERYONE thought needed a RB, didn't draft anyone to compete with JJ/Duckett. It would be a nice landing spot plus give him the chance to stick it to the Cards twice a year.

Edge is actually running(?) on racing slicks at this point.Still could be a contributor somewhere, but not the lead back.

week 1 of training camp.

 

[thriftyrocker]

Given Wells' injury history and the fact he is terrible in the passing game, Hightower should be drafted in almost all formats next year as a late round pick

Sorry, it was early, I meant has a lot of wear, not tread But seriously, I do think he can contribute... he looked very good in the playoffs, IMO.
