I'm bearish on his fantasy value from this point forward. I'm in first place in a 10-team league where we start 2 QBs, starting Brady and Freeman. Unfortunately, we only have 3 bench spots so it's difficult to stockpile any talent.

Flacco is available on the waiver wire, and though he's had his struggles this season, I think he'd be an above-average replacement for Brady and Freeman during bye weeks. I've got Antonio Gates, Daniel Thomas and Tim Hightower on my bench currently. I'm not willing to part with Gates or Thomas at this point.

Hightower has performed admirably for a fantasy UDFA, but I'm thinking about cutting ties with him and picking up a more valuable commodity (Flacco) with Ryan Torain and Roy Helu looking to take the lion's share of carries in the near future.

i'm stuck in this quandary as well. Torain is going to be the back for now in WAS, but he's always hurt. Helu I think begins to eclipse him later in the year anyway. With Hightower all you really have is a third down/pass blocking back. If there is something better it's probably fine to cut bait on him.
