Scouting report

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Nyheim Hines had seven touches last week against the Broncos, including three receptions, for a total of 46 yards from scrimmage. It was one of his better games of the season, which tells you all you need to know about his general fantasy value. While he has some intriguing versatility that should lead to PPR numbers, his lack of production this year makes it hard to recommend rostering him in most leagues. Fantasy owners should leave him on waivers until he starts showing a little more upside.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Denver Broncos

Nyheim Hines had only one carry and one reception last week for a total of five yards. While he’s had a couple of games with five or more targets in the passing game this year, he simply isn’t getting the ball enough to be worthy of a roster spot in most leagues. Hines was only on the field for 12% of the team’s offensive snaps last week and until we see something change in his usage, he should be left on waivers.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Houston Texans

Nyheim Hines had his highest receiving yardage total of the season against the Chiefs before the bye last week, catching four of the five passes thrown his way for 46 yards. While he’s yet to produce legitimate fantasy numbers this year, he has been targeted an average of 4.2 times per game, including 11 targets over his last two outings. Hines is a long-shot, but against a Texans team that has been on fire offensively the last couple of weeks, the Colts could wind up in passing situations early and often, which should benefit his Hines’ snap-count. Owners in deep PPR leagues should consider him a desperation option with upside.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Kansas City Chiefs

Nyheim Hines saw the field more last week as the Colts got down early against the Raiders and ended up throwing the ball 46 times. Hines wound up with six catches and three carries, showing some PPR value in deep leagues, but he only gained 45 total yards from scrimmage and is too risky to rely on in most formats. Hines has a shot at seeing the field more frequently against the Chiefs, as their high-powered offense may once again force the Colts to abandon the run early, but he’s still a long-shot to put up legit fantasy numbers. Keep him on waivers in most leagues.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Oakland Raiders

Nyheim Hines had another dismal outing last week against the Falcons, carrying the ball twice and catching three passes for a total of 29 yards. Hines has only been on the field for 24% of the team’s offensive snaps so far this season and he hasn’t even been active enough in the passing game to warrant consideration in PPR formats. Hines faces a Raiders defense this week that surprisingly ranks fourth in our aFPA to running backs, making it really hard to justify rostering Hines.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Nyheim Hines had only two carries and two targets last week against the Titans. While he did catch four passes in Week 1, he’s only been on the field for 23% of the Colts’ offensive snaps through two games. Until that number increases, he should be left on waivers in all leagues.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Tennessee Titans

Nyheim Hines had eight touches last week against the Chargers – four carries and four catches – but only wound up with 17 yards. He has some big-play potential, giving him upside in PPR formats, but he ultimately wasn’t active enough to make him valuable in most leagues. He faces a tough Titans defense that smothered the Browns last week, and he’s probably better left on waivers this week, particularly in standard formats.
