Draft note

by John Paulsen

Hines surprisingly finished as the No. 20 fantasy back last season, averaging 10.1 PPG in half-PPR. He did most of his damage as a receiver (63-482-4 on 76 targets), vulturing a sizable and valuable workload from Jonathan Taylor. Hines’ involvement didn’t decline at all in the final weeks of the season–it actually increased from 8.7 touches per game (Weeks 1-10) to 9.4 in the final six games of the season, when Taylor was active–so prospective Taylor owners hoping for a mega-workload from the second-year back may be disappointed. As for Hines, he does offer a decent weekly floor; he scored 7.0+ fantasy points (PPR) in 12 of 16 games last year. He also had four spike weeks of 17+, including Week 12 (which Taylor missed), where Hines turned 18 touches into 95 total yards. Hines would likely see a significant uptick in touches if Taylor were to miss any time, though Marlon Mack would be in the mix as well.

Colts, RB Marlon Mack mutually agree to look for trade

Indy Star

Sep 28 · 2:42 PM EDT

Marlon Mack and the Colts have mutually agreed to try to find a trade partner for the veteran running back, a league source confirmed to IndyStar on Tuesday, after Mack was a healthy scratch on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Related players: Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines

Fantasy Impact:

This updates a story we had earlier from Adam Schefter. It looks like Mack has agreed to be traded. This story said the source indicated that there is some interest in Mack, although it is still early in the process. Mack, who rushed for 1,999 yards over two seasons as the Colts’ lead back in 2018 and 2019, has played just 13 snaps during the 2021 season. Mack’s picked up 16 yards on five carries, but the veteran has clearly fallen behind Taylor and Hines in the backfield’s pecking order, according to the story.

IND RB Nyheim Hines - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Houston Texans

Nyheim Hines has been frustratingly inconsistent throughout his career, but his targets usually aren’t a problem. As such, only three targets in the past two games combined is alarming. He finished Monday night against the Ravens with only 18 yards on four carries, and didn’t catch his lone target.

This week, Hines faces a Texans defense that ranks 13th in aFPA to opposing running backs. He still has value in PPR formats in case he can find his way back into the offense, but with more than two targets in just two games so far this season, it’s hard to trust him in lineups. We have him ranked as a low-end RB3 this week and fantasy managers should look elsewhere if possible.
