Drop Hightower?
I'm unimpressed by Hightower's performance recently. I don't want to lose faith in him, but he has a tough schedule coming up, especially in Weeks 15-16 (Playoffs). I've already clinched my playoff spot, so all I really need is to prepare for the playoffs. Should I drop Hightower? Here are the other RBs on the waiver wire (in no particular order):
Jonathan Stewart, Earnest Graham, Cedric Benson, Sammy Morris, Derrick Ward, Le'Ron McClain, Julius Jones, Kevin Faulk, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, J.J. Arrington, Leon Washington, Justin Fargas, Pierre Thomas, Peyton Hillis, Patrick Cobbs, Selvin Young, Fred Jackson
My full team is listed in my signature.

10 Team league with all those RBs on the wire? Wow, some nice options left up there to use as backups. I'll think for a minute and rank em later.

Yea, I just don't really know of a situation when I would start both Stewart and Williams. Unfortunately, the trade deadline passed before I could unload Hightower, so he's burning a hole in my pocket.

Ward is a good pickup as long as Jacobs is out, otherwise BGE is a decent pickup outside of Stewart
