Tim Hightower Takes Control Of Running Back Position In Washington

Tim Hightower, who was under appreciated by the Arizona Cardinals organization, was snatched up by the Redskins and after some impressive outings in the preseason, looks to have put his stamp on the starting running back job in Washington.

Hightower showed toughness and craftiness while in Arizona and seemed to be a favourite of coach Wisenhunt until they got tired of his fumbling the ball.

He fumble 4 times in 2009 and then had 4 more fumbles in 2010.  The cardinals never utilized him to his full potential though.  Arizona just isn't much of a rushing team anyway.  They prefer to air it out to receivers like Larry Fitzgerald.

Now, with Hightower playing for run heavy coach Shanahan, it looks like his true talents may actually be realized.  Get this, Hightower is only 25 years old and he looks hungry.  In fact, he looks rather beastly.

I am making sure to grab him up as my TOP FANTASY SLEEPER in all my leagues.  He is starting to move up the charts but can still be had in the 7th, 8th or 9th round.  Make sure you grab this stud running back.
