IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New York Jets

Nyheim Hines only had 24 yards last week but he had four receptions and five targets, which was nice to see after averaging just two targets in his previous four outings. Hines’ activity in the passing game has been his primary value in fantasy leagues, so losing that for much of this season has rendered him worthless. Keep an eye on him to see if he keeps getting five targets over the next few weeks, as he could become a viable bye-week filler in PPR formats, but given his lack of production this season, he should remain on waivers in all leagues.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Tennessee Titans

Nyheim Hines had eight carries and one reception for a total of 12 yards against the 49ers last week. While the PPR potential based on previous year’s activity and performance makes him hard to cut bait on, Hines only has eight targets in his last four games combined. That’s not going to get it done for fantasy managers hoping for high-floor PPR points from the 24-year old. At this point, you can’t put Hines in your lineup until we start seeing those targets again. Sit him. Drop him, if you need the roster spot.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at San Francisco 49ers

Nyheim Hines had four carries and one reception last week for just 22 total yards from scrimmage. That’s four of the last five games where Hines has had two or fewer targets, and he’s scored double-digit fantasy points just twice all year. Until that changes, and we start seeing him return to the 4.75 targets per game he was getting in 2020, it’s hard to recommend starting him. You may not have a choice with the bye weeks, but if you can, look elsewhere.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Houston Texans

Nyheim Hines has been frustratingly inconsistent throughout his career, but his targets usually aren’t a problem. As such, only three targets in the past two games combined is alarming. He finished Monday night against the Ravens with only 18 yards on four carries, and didn’t catch his lone target.

This week, Hines faces a Texans defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. He still has value in PPR formats in case he can find his way back into the offense, but with more than two targets in just two games so far this season, it’s hard to trust him in lineups. We have him ranked as a low-end RB3 this week and fantasy managers should look elsewhere if possible.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Baltimore Ravens

Nyheim Hines disappointed in an easy matchup last week with just two carries and two receptions for 11 yards. That being said, Hines will throw up some stinkers from time to time, so I expect he’ll get back on track. He remains a solid PPR option due to his general targets and usage in the passing game, despite just two targets against the Dolphins. This week, Hines faces a Ravens defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing running backs. This may be a low-scoring affair, but it’s possible the Ravens get up early and force the Colts into a negative game script, which should benefit Hines. Start him as a fill-in flex option in deep PPR formats.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Miami Dolphins

Nyheim Hines scored a touchdown last week, and gained 79 total yards on six carries and five receptions. This is a quintessential Hines game and is what fantasy managers are hoping for when they put him in lineups. While the touchdown isn’t always sustainable, 11 total touches and an active role in the passing game is what makes him a viable fantasy flex and zero-RB option, particularly in PPR formats.

This week, Hines faces a Dolphins defense that has really struggled against the run so far this year, including giving up 100-plus yard days to Damien Harris and Peyton Barber and ranking second-to-last in aFPA to opposing running backs. Hines has considerable upside in a nice matchup and a high floor thanks to his target share. Start him as a flex option or low-end RB2 in PPR leagues.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Tennessee Titans

Nyheim Hines still saw 37% of the team’s offensive snaps last week against the Rams, but he had only one carry and one reception for 22 yards. Hines has always been a little volatile week-to-week, but that seems more like a tough matchup than a sign of things to come for the versatile weapon.

This week, Hines should rebound against a Titans defense that has allowed over 30 points to each of their first two opponents this season. He’s still a volatile option, but he should see more than the two targets he had last week, so continue to have him as a viable RB3 or flex option in PPR formats.
