Nyheim Hines Absent In Week 2
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had just one catch for four yards on one target in a Week 2 win against the Vikings. Hines' lack of snaps and touches was disappointing following his Week 1 performance. Rookie Jonathan Taylor is clearly the No. 1 running back going forward, but it is a bit concerning that Hines saw no action in the passing game. This could be in large part due to the Colts getting ahead fairly early, pounding the run and chewing clock. This performance will likely be more the exception rather than the rule for Hines, considering his value in the passing game during close games. However, next week probably is not the best week for him to bounce back, as he takes on a Jets squad that has been awful through two weeks.
