IND RB Nyheim Hines - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Nyheim Hines carved a nice role for himself as a rookie last season. As the complementary back, he ran the ball 85 times for 314 yards and two touchdowns. Most importantly, however, he added 425 receiving yards and another two scores on 63 receptions. Hines was third on the team with 81 targets and was on the field for 44% of the snaps available to him. With the Colts’ offense continuing to improve and a year of continuity along the offensive line, Hines could be even more productive this season.

Fantasy Downside

Hines is too small to ever get legitimate workhorse volume, so his upside is limited. The Colts like Marlon Mack as their primary ball-carrier, and seemed to lean more on Jordan Wilkins as the replacement when Mack missed time. While that’s a good sign for Hines’ value staying consistent, it also makes it hard to envision a path to a much bigger role. In standard leagues, Hines is far less valuable since he only found the end zone four times and averages just 6.7 yards per catch.

2019 Bottom Line

Hines is currently going in the 12th round of 12-team leagues, which is decent value in PPR formats with his potential to catch another 63-plus balls. In a standard league, however, that’s probably about right, or possibly even a bit too high. The Colts were second in the league in pass attempts last season, and just 17th in rushing attempts. If you’re not getting the points for Hines’ receptions, his value is significantly less. In PPR leagues, however, he can be a high-floor plug-and-play option for bye weeks and depth.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 at Kanas City Chiefs

Despite being five-point underdogs in Kansas City, Vegas expects a shootout between the Chiefs and the Colts. That has pushed the Colts implied team total in the divisional round up higher than 25 points. In the ground game, the Chiefs rank just 28th in aFPA to RBs. Marlon Mack's volume puts him in an attractive position to have a big week for those that want him on their fantasy rosters. The strength of the Colts offensive line cannot be questioned. He dominated the work so much that Nyheim Hines was basically useless for fantasy last week.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tennessee Titans

The Colts offensive starters, if healthy, will play a full 60 minutes in Week 17 in what has turned into a play-in game against the Titans. Indianapolis is a 3-point road favorite with an implied team total of 23.25 points. That should lead to positive game script for the Colts running game against the toughest opponent in the league in aFPA to RBs. Nyheim Hines has been utilized as a satellite back in the passing game more often of late, but with touch counts of six, 10 and seven over the past three games, he's extremely risky.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New York Giants

The Colts host the Giants as more than a touchdown favorite with a top five implied team total of 28.25 points in Week 16. New York ranks 31st in aFPA to RBs this season. That makes Marlon Mack a great RB2 option this week with heavy positive game script expected, but no other Colts RB is getting the necessary volume to be FLEX considerations.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Indianapolis has an above average implied team total this week against a tough Dallas defense. That implied total is 25 points. However, the Cowboys rank top five in aFPA to RBs, foreshadowing a pass-heavy attack for the Colts. Nyheim Hines just hasn't seen fantasy relevant volume either of late, averaging less than 10 touches per game over the past month. He's too much of a longshot to consider in Week 15 lineups.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Houston Texans

The Colts have a very modest implied team total of 22.75 points this week, with negative game script expected on the road in Houston. The Texans rank fourth in aFPA to RBs. The Colts entire offense struggled last week, with essentially no running game. Just draw a line through it like a bad horse race and move forward. It's a tough match-up again this week, but Marlon Mack is still the early down option, garnering far more work on the ground than Nyheim Hines. However, with Jack Doyle on IR, Hines re-emerged as a passing game option in this offense last week. Both should be considered nothing more than a FLEX though, with Mack still the preferable option against this tough Texans defensive front.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars

Remember when facing the Jaguars defense was a near death sentence for a player's fantasy prospects? That's not the case anymore. The Jags are tough against RBs (2nd in aFPA), but the Colts have an implied team total of 25.5 on the road. Jacksonville's offense also operates at a faster pace when Leonard Fournette is out, which should mean additional offensive plays for the Colts too. If Marlon Mack can clear the concussion protocol, he should be a viable, volume-based RB2 in a difficult match-up. Otherwise, Nyheim Hines will step into the same situation. If Mack is active though, Hines is not a viable starting option.
