Tim Hightower fantasy outlook: Sit him.

Hightower had a few strong games recently, obviously including against Seattle when Payton benched Mark Ingram. 

As I said with Ingram, the Saints will likely take a pass-heavy approach to the game. And while Hightower still provides needed value and speed to this team as a runner, Ingram usually takes the goal line carries. Unless Hightower can make a push to usurp Ingram as the bell-cow, I don’t see much fantasy value. Certainly nothing consistent or predictable.

I don’t think Hightower is even worth a flex look this week.
