Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Sleeper

BALLER MOVE: Target ~115

CURRENT ADP: ~125

ANALYSIS: Many are calling Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines this year’s Alvin Kamara, but that seems like a stretch. Still, Hines is the prototypical change of pace back for the NFL and could see a big role in the passing game similar to Chris Thompson a year ago. They are pretty much the same size, both are 5’8 and weigh about 195.

Last year, Thompson was a ZeroRB gem until his injury, but that was because of how late you could draft him. Now Thompson is going much earlier, but Hines could be this year’s Thompson. While he likely will never get a ton of carries, even if Marlon Mack gets hurt, his explosiveness in the passing game will give him plenty of weekly value. Add in the fact that the Colts offense should be much improved and Hines could really pay off for those who wait on the position.
