hoozyerdaddy 2 Posted October 16, 2011 I thought I saw on the crawl this morning that Hightower is out. Can anyone confirm? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
p.man 7 Posted October 16, 2011 I just picked up M.Bush to back up McFadden. To do so I cut bait with Tate. That was probably a bad decision because I kept Hightower over a back up with a great o-line. I didn't remember that Hightower is a BACK UP! Never again will I draft a rb on a Shanny team.

hoozyerdaddy 2 Posted October 16, 2011 I will be starting Hillis/Torain this week. Along with Rodgers,Jennings,Sjohnson, Branch and Vernon Davis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted October 16, 2011 NFL Network just said Hightower is active and will START. I expect Torain to carry the load though. As a Skins homer, I am pissed at Shanny. Torain is clearly the best RB we have and I want him to start to win games. Screw fantasy, let the best RB start. Hightower just is so mediocre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RightCoastSurfer 1 Posted October 16, 2011 The inactives list just came out. Hightower is playing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted October 16, 2011 If Hightower starts out hot and Torain only gets 10 touches we are ALL F'd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IMMensaMind 460 Posted October 16, 2011 If Hightower starts out hot and Torain only gets 10 touches we are ALL F'd. Including me, as Hightower is on my bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted October 16, 2011 If Hightower starts out hot and Torain only gets 10 touches we are ALL F'd. Fortunately, Hightower isn't very good which helps the Torain odds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pee-diddy 27 Posted October 16, 2011 True, but PHIL's run DEF suxor, which could help Hightower get off to a hot start. And there is the potential that ShannyRat screws us all... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jipoxy1 0 Posted October 16, 2011 I picked up Torain last week and am starting him instead of Hightower.... I hope all the talk is right and Torain gets the bulk of the load today even though Hightower is still on the top of the depth chart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing can stop the ShannyRat. The best play is probably Helu since nobody expects it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 16, 2011 Well...I just benched Torain. I have a very winnable game, so I don't need any goose eggs to throw me under the bus. I will go with Ingram, which doesn't sound much better, but after what happened to Tampa last week with Gore. I expect the Saints to roll, and run the ball to work some clock with Ingram. Gimme some clarity this morning. I hate making Sunday morning decisions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Torain gets the rock he's explosive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
worm 34 Posted October 16, 2011 Per Rotoworld: 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
illini9825 7 Posted October 16, 2011 I'm staying away and benched Torain for Santonio Holmes in my flex. Good luck to everyone either way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seadog54 20 Posted October 16, 2011 fts, I'm not dealing with this. gonna start benson over torain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kent 228 Posted October 16, 2011 Torain to start. Benching him this week would be unwise. Skins are going to run the ball all day. ESPN Fantasy guy Tim Hassleback is the the worst. ALWAYS do the opposite of what he advises. He called for Hightower today over Torain. Not sure why Tim is involved in fantasy for ESPN. He's a clown. He also convinced Berry to switch to Hightower. Hilarious. Berry is a Skins homer, he should know better this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreen626 17 Posted October 16, 2011 Beck has been more productive on the ground thann Torrain today so far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beemo 0 Posted October 16, 2011 Are Torain owners planning on retaining him after this dismal outing? It definitely would seem that Grossman's four interceptions kept the offense from generating anything and the run game was quickly forgotten once Philly quickly built up a big lead. I'm not familiar with Beck, but the whole situation in Washington can't be good for him being viable, can it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gepetto 989 Posted October 16, 2011 Torain will be fine going forward. It's kind of hard to get yards and touchdowns when you're QB gives the ball to the other team on most "drives", when Rex Grossman is not going three and out or getting hardly any first downs anyway.

It's kind of hard to get yards and touchdowns when you're QB gives the ball to the other team on most "drives", when Rex Grossman is not going three and out or getting hardly any first downs anyway. Hightower was playing good before he got hurt. For some reason Shanahan has a man crush on Torain. Luckily i survied my game i started Hightower and got 0 Thanks to Mr Bradshaw and Hernandez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
