Fantasy Impact:

Hightower popped up on the injury report this week with a knee issue and was limited in practice Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. With that said, his inactive status is still somewhat surprising. The Patriots should still have no trouble against the Bills even without their best linebacker. Hightower was named AFC special teams player of the week for his performance in last week’s game against the Bears in which he blocked a punt that was returned for a go-ahead touchdown. Also inactive for the Patriots are tight end Jacob Hollister (hamstring), cornerback Eric Rowe (groin), offensive lineman Brian Schwenke (foot), running back Sony Michel (knee), defensive lineman Geneo Grissom (ankle) and offensive tackle Marcus Cannon (concussion).
