Ward is kinda iffy, jump on the Hightower bandwagon or stay with a steady LJ?

Go with Hightower over Ward. Especially if it's PPR. Don't expect huge things out of either but I think Hightower will get more opportunities to make noise!

Help me..

See, I don't know about this trade. I dropped Hightower before the season started. Not really regretting the decision but I could of used him for trading leverage if I still had him. You better believe that Ward will get scooped up in any respectable league. He's one inevitable Caddy injury away from becoming the feature back. It's only been two weeks. If you really want to pick up Hightower I'd drop someone other than Ward. What does the rest of your team look like?

Eh I like HIghtower slightly more than FJax for the remainder of the season, though FJax will be good for one or two more weeks....

I see Hightower in a similar time share as F Jax, except Hightower is in a better offense and an easier division. He's proven he can catch and I suspect Lynch will cut into Jackson's touches more than Wells will with Hightower.

Good luck, and please see mine:
