Nyheim Hines

Week 9 at New England Patriots

Nyheim Hines vulture a touchdown last week against the Commanders, but his usage and production have been lacking all season. Fantasy managers should get a look at this offense with Sam Ehlinger under center for a few weeks before making assumptions about how ancillary pieces like Hines are going to be used, making him way too risky to insert into fantasy lineups. Sit him.

Update: Hines was traded to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and will face a vulnerable Packers defense that ranks 19th in aFPA to opposing running backs. While the addition is interesting for his future production - going from the Colts' stagnant offense to Josh Allen and the Bills - it's hard to envision huge production in his first game in a crowded backfield. Take a wait-and-see approach for now, but definitely pick him up in deeper leagues. This hurts James Cook's value significantly.
