BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: John Hightower made it to the weekly WW pickups column only because of the absolutely insane streak of injuries Philadelphia has no idea how to stop. After losing Zach Ertz in Week 6, WR DeSean Jackson became the last victim this past Thursday, in which was his comeback game since W3. Hightower is a very deep flier only viable for deeper leagues GMs, don't get it wrong.
Just this past TNF, Hightower had his lowest-volume game of the year (other than his W2 0/0/0 in just 7 snaps), logging just a couple of targets but making the most of them catching one for a massive 59 yards on a deep ball from Carson Wentz to which he was able to add a few YAC.
That is Hightower in a nutshell: a boom/bust ticking bomb. Forget about adding him in PPR leagues, as he barely gets receptions, but when he does he turns them into firework-worthy plays. Among WRs with fewer than 10 receptions this season, Hightower has the fifth-most receiving yards (166) for an average of 18.5 Y/R.
Consider Hightower a good FLEX play in deeper-than-14-teams leagues, with upside to hit the jackpot and reach 100 yards and score a touchdown against a putrid Cowboys D next weekend.
