Tim Hightower (RB, NO) - NFL Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: As soon as Mark Ingram fumbled in the first quarter against Seattle, his day was over. The Saints then dusted off Tim Hightower and made him the primary back for the remainder of the game. He responded with 102 rushing yards on 26 carries, providing 25 more rushing yards than Ingram's season best of 77 in six starts. Despite his advanced age for a running back (30), Hightower only has 638 career rush attempts and looked fresh. He has value in this offense, although Ingram will likely work his way back into the mix soon. If you're looking for a flex in the next bye-heavy week, he is a great option as the Saints face the 49ers and their league-worst run defense.
