Scouting report

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Carolina Panthers

Nyheim Hines only had 12 yards on four touches – including a pair of receptions – last week in a blowout loss to the Saints. The Colts struggled heavily on offense and Hines was unable to produce with minimal touches. Hines hasn’t been a productive fantasy option this season and has only three double-digit PPR games all year. He should remain on the bench this week, despite a favorable matchup against the Panthers.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New Orleans Saints

With Marlon Mack back in the lineup last week, Nyheim Hines had just four carries for a single yard. Hines caught four passes for 24 yards as well, but he’s hardly been productive with a healthy Mack, making it hard to trust him in the playoffs. He has what could be a tough matchups anyway, and fantasy owners should leave him on waivers in most league formats.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Nyheim Hines scored a touchdown last week but still touched the ball only six times, including a pair of receptions, gaining 40 total yards in the process. Hines has some upside against a Buccaneers team that can score and put the Colts in passing situations often, but outside of the deepest PPR formats, fantasy owners should steer clear of the Colts’ running back situation until Marlon Mack returns from his hand injury.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Tennessee Titans

Nyheim Hines got a little extra action last week with Marlon Mack sidelined, carrying the ball a season-high nine times for 51 yards while adding 10 receiving yards on a pair of receptions. Hines is still risky, however, with Jonathan Williams likely to see the bulk of the touches in the Colts’ backfield while Mack recovers from a hand injury. He has a little upside in PPR leagues now that he’s shown the potential to receive double-digit touches, but he’s still too risky to count on in most leagues.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Houston Texans

I really want to get excited about the fact that Nyheim Hines has 11 targets over his past two games. I really want to think he’ll be a viable fantasy option in PPR leagues to close out the season after scoring his first touchdown of the season last week in a lopsided victory over the Jaguars. However, it’s hard to count on someone who has averaged just 5.5 touches per game this year and still only gained 35 yards in a good game last week. Hines has some upside in a nice matchup against the Texans this week in PPR formats, but he’s too risky to get excited about, and most fantasy owners should look elsewhere if possible. He’s a fringe RB3 at best, and only if it’s a PPR.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Nyheim Hines had seven targets last week against the Dolphins, a season-high for him, but he still managed only 44 total yards on three carries and four receptions. Those look like best-case-scenario numbers for Hines this year as he’s yet to put together consistent production this season and hasn’t even found the end zone through nine games. He might be worth rostering in very deep PPR formats, but in the vast majority of leagues, he should be on waivers.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Miami Dolphins

Nyheim Hines had one carry and one reception last week against the Steelers for a total of 28 yards. Hines has averaged only 5.25 touches per game this year, not nearly enough to justify a fantasy roster spot in most leagues. He has a little upside this week in a good matchup against the Dolphins with the Colts down two receivers, but he’s ultimately too risky to start in any league, even PPR formats. He should remain on waivers.
