The Facts:
HC Ken Whisenhunt insisted there had been no plan to keep James on the sidelines or to give Tim Hightower so many carries. The results could not be argued; Hightower gained 109 yards on 22 attempts. “I want to play, but it’s not my style (of game), I don’t fit the mold,” a matter-of-fact James said afterward.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban suggests, success from Hightower works on many levels for the Cardinals. On the field, his raw ability – especially with the ability for bigger plays – simply outweighs what Edge can do. In the future, Hightower’s emergence means less money spent on the running back position, because it seems impossible James and his $5 million salary will be around in 2009.
