Chris Russell on Twitter: BEFORE tonight's game, a well placed source told @ESPNRadio980 that the #Redskins were leaning towards Evan Royster over Ryan Torain. Royster's concussion could alter that.

Fantasy Impact:

If the Redskins were truly considering cutting Torain, it would appear that Tim Hightower is locked in as the starter with Roy Helu as his primary backup. Draft him with confidence in the 6th (or even 5th) round.

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan all but anointed Tim Hightower as his starting running back for the Sept. 11 season opener against the New York Giants, a result both of Hightower’s performance in the first three preseason games and the inability of Ryan Torain to play yet because of a broken bone in his hand.

"He’s done a good job," Shanahan said of Hightower on Saturday. "I’m not going to say he’s our starter, but if you were betting in Vegas, you’d probably go in that direction."

Hightower has carried 25 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns since being acquired in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals at the start of training camp.

Fantasy Impact:

Hightower has gone from fantasy afterthought in Arizona to being on the minds of many fantasy owners as a mid-round sleeper. The downside is that Mike Shanahan changes his depth chart frequently and Roy Helu and Ryan Torain could cut into Hightower's upside, but for now, Hightower is worth a gamble on draft day.

Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is hopeful running Ryan Torain will be healthy enough to play in the preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Thursday.

Torain was able to fully participate at practice today and should see action against the Bucs.

Fantasy Impact:

Torain is behind Tim Hightower and Roy Helu right now, but he's always been a favorite of Mike Shanahan and could close the gap at some point. While he'll probably start the season as a free agent in most fantasy leagues, he could be worth a waiver add if the situation changes in Washington.

Washington Redskins running back Ryan Torain (hand) said he remains day to day but wouldn’t answer a question about if he’s been cleared for contact.

"I’m out there taking handoffs and catching the ball and doing what the coaches are asking me to do," he said. "It’s tough being on the sideline but I’m excited to get out there and play."

Torain all but confirmed what coach Mike Shanahan said last week – he’s out for the Baltimore game on Thursday but hopes to play in the preseason finale against Tampa Bay.

Once back in full practice or a game, Torain said regaining his footing, "won’t take long at all. I’ve been staying in shape."

Fantasy Impact:

No back who plays for Mike Shanahan can be completely ignored, but right now Torain's stock is pretty low. Maybe things will change down the line.
