2022 Fantasy Outlook
Hines is in a tough spot. Typecast as a passing-down back when he was drafted out of North
Carolina State in 2018, he has improved his yards per carry every season and averaged an
impressive 4.9 YPC last year while also remaining a threat as a receiver. Hines also has yet to
miss a game in his career, making him both reliable and dangerous, a combination every team
in the league would love to have in its backfield. Unfortunately, Hines is stuck behind Jonathan
Taylor, who broke out in his second season and won the rushing title by a mile. The Colts seem
to realize Hines' value, and coach Frank Reich spoke more than once of finding ways to get the
ball into his hands more often last year, but that's easier said than done when your starter is
getting nearly 400 touches. Hines' best chance at improved numbers might come from a bigger
focus on the passing game in general after the team traded for Matt Ryan this offseason, but
that still means minimal upside as long as Taylor stays healthy. Read Past Outlooks

Makes biggest mark on special teams
Between seven regular-season starts with the Colts and nine with the Bills, Hines rushed 24 times for 33 yards and one TD while posting a 30-241-1 line in the passing game during the 2022 season.
ANALYSIS
Hines made a bigger mark in the return game, especially in his time with the Bills following the trade for Zack Moss, finishing with 554 yards on kickoff returns and a 29.0 average to go with 264 punt return yards and a 9.8 average. Hines also returned two kickoffs for scores in a memorable game during the Bills' first contest following the Damar Hamlin incident. The Bills seem to like the speed and versatility Hines brings to the table, though his modest value would go up only if free-agent teammate Devin Singletary departs for greener pastures this offseason.

Nick Chubb tossed Kareem Hunt aside even before Hunt's likely exit in free agency, so why is Chubb falling to the third round in best ball drafts?

Superstars did most of the heavy lifting for the wild-card winners, but there were also some lesser-known heroes like Isaiah Hodgins and Khalil Shakir.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
The Colts' selection of Jonathan Taylor didn't prevent Hines from shining in 2020, as the third-year scatback posted career highs in rushing yards, receiving yards and total touchdowns while helping to break in the new guy in the backfield. Marlon Mack's season-ending injury played its part in boosting Hines' touch volume, but his passing-down role was never in jeopardy and the addition of Philip Rivers under center put extra emphasis on his ability to turn swing passes and wheel routes into big gains. For all that went right for Hines last year, he still fell short of 1,000 scrimmage yards, and most of those advantages will be gone in 2021. Mack is healthy and returning to the mix, Taylor has a year of experience under his belt and showed flashes of three-down ability as a rookie and Rivers is now retired and replaced by a quarterback (Carson Wentz) who figures to throw fewer dump-offs. Hines is still one of the most dangerous receivers in the league out of the backfield thanks to his elite speed (4.38 40) and reliable hands (seven drops on 215 career targets), but last year's production might have been his ceiling.
