John Hightower

Overall, a fluid and speedy WR prospect. Slightly undersized, but has good speed to compensate. Struggles when getting bumped at the LOS to maintain his course due to strength. A long strider and frequently used on crossing routes or shovel passes and asked to create after the catch. Struggles downfield to bring in contested catches. Shows decent hands, but nothing outstanding. Will most likely be a day three player that will need to contribute on ST before making an impact for fantasy football.

John Hightower catches one long pass, drops another Sunday

Eagles wide receiver John Hightower caught one of his four targets for 50 yards in Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Impact

Hightower caught one long pass on Sunday but dropped what could have been an even bigger gain early in the first quarter, as Carson Wentz hit him in stride up the right sideline after he had gotten behind the defense. With DeSean Jackson potentially returning on Thursday, Hightower's role in the offense will likely diminish.
