Nyheim Hines Fantasy

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines rushed for 75 yards in a 27-24 loss to the Bills. Hines was extremely effective, picking up 12.5 yards per carry. However, he had just seven total touches, so he did not get much of an opportunity. Hines is definitely a valuable player for the Colts, but not being a workhorse back makes his fantasy value limited. He enters the final year of his contract next season, and it is reasonable to expect a season that is similar to what he posted this year.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has decent flex value in a wild-card matchup against the Bills on Saturday. Hines had a productive season, recording over 850 total yards and seven total touchdowns. However, he has averaged only nine touches per game over the last five weeks of the season. He also has not recorded a touchdown since Week 13. RookieJonathan Taylor has seen the bulk of the touches in the final stretch of the regular season, so there is limited opportunity for Hines to produce. He has just average flex value this week against Buffalo, but he could be a sleeper that pays off if Indy has to pass often.

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a productive end to the regular season. He had just two rushing attempts for 17 yards but paced the team in receiving with six catches for 50 yards. Hines demonstrated his importance for most of the season, especially in the passing game, finishing with 63 catches. Jonathan Taylor is certainly the running back of the future, but Hines will continue to be a valuable player. He has one year left on his contract and will definitely see a fair amount of snaps in next week's first round playoff game against the Bills.
