Nyheim Hines' Value Rests With Pass-Catching Ability
4 years agoIndianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines had a bad Week 2, seeing just nine snaps and catching one ball for four yards. Part of Hines' lack of snaps last week were due to Indianapolis getting ahead early and running the ball with rookie Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's emergence means even less rushing attempts for Hines, which means he only carries value in the passing game. Playing a bad Jets team likely means he won't see a lot of snaps again, other than some third downs here and there. Hines may have some flex value in deeper PPR leagues if he can see some red-zone time on third downs, but he is probably best suited on the bench this week.
