NFL Week 1 Waiver Wire Gems (2020)

Nyheim Hines – RB Indianapolis Colts (20% owned)

Nyheim Hines was majorly overlooked this offseason, thanks to the Colts’ addition of Jonathon Taylor.  But Hines was used a ton in Week 1’s loss to the Jaguars, even before starting running back Marlon Mack tore his Achilles.  Hines was targeted 8 times, catching all of them for 45 yards and 1 touchdown. He also carried the ball 7 times for 28 yards and 1 touchdown.  QB Philip Rivers is no stranger to throwing to his running backs…he often targeted Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler when he was on the Chargers.  Hines should be added in all leagues as a huge PPR player.
