Nyheim Hines (RB, IND) - Week 10 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN:  23% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: The prospects of owning Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines may not provide the same level of enthusiasm that existed prior to Marlon Mack’s return. Hines had averaged 69 YPG in Weeks 3-5, before Mack’s reemergence in Week 6 ignited a three-game statistical explosion. Mack bolted for 347 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, accrued 54 yards and an additional score as a receiver, and secured RB1 responsibilities with the Colts.

However, Hines still retains a consistent role with the team and is capable of accumulating receptions and fantasy points with the touches that he is receiving. He has garnered 42 targets (5.25 per game) and entered his Week 9 bye with 34 receptions, which was the seventh highest total among all backs. He has also averaged eight touches and 25% of the Colts’ offensive snaps since Mack's return and can function as a flex option in PPR leagues.
