Start Hightower or Forte? (1 Viewer)

[PiRadii]

In a ppr league I am having a tough time choosing between RBs Matt Forte and Tim Hightower.

Forte is playing at home against the Rams.  I am concerned about the impact of Fitzmagic not playing and the Rams stacking the box.  On the other hand the Jets will probably be more inclined to run the ball more.  I'm not sure how the QB situation will impact his numbers.

Tim Hightower is at home against a porous Denver run defense.  He is splitting carries with Mark Ingram but if Hightower has the production he had last week I would be satisfied.

Every site has Forte ranked considerably higher but I want to start Hightower.  I have this dilemma in two leagues.  I have tough matchups in both leagues but I think I need the player with the higher floor and the ceiling isn't as important.

I would expect Fitzpatrick to start.  If he is inactive, then yes consider a switch to Hightower (but remember he is in a time share), but if Fitz is active I would start Forte.
