Nyheim Hines Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines carried once for five yards and caught one of two passes for 17 yards during Sunday's 27-24 Week 2 loss against the Los Angeles Rams. Hines saw his targets drop from eight to two and was given only one carry, disappointing fantasy managers expecting a similar role to his Week 1 usage. Continue rostering Hines, but he is a fringe RB3/Flex play moving forward against the Tennessee Titans in Week 3.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines carried nine times for 34 yards and caught six of eight targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 28-16 loss against the Seattle Seahawks. This is encouraging for fantasy managers who roster Hines, as his continued involvement in the passing game makes him an RB3/Flex option moving forward. Nine carries halved Jonathan Taylor's usage but this provides a steady floor for Hines in a difficult matchup against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 2.

The Indianapolis Colts and running back Nyheim Hines have agreed to a three-year, $18.6 million extension with $12 million in guaranteed money. It's a nice payday for the Colts No. 2 running back and his new contract will make him one of the top-10 highest paid running backs in the league. Despite being listed behind Jonathan Taylor on the depth chart, Hines figures to remain the pass-catching threat in the backfield. As long as Taylor is healthy, Hines offers minimal value in non-PPR leagues, but he offers plenty of value in PPR leagues. Hines will square offer against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 1 and makes for a fine flex option in PPR leagues.
