Who Should I Start? Keith Kirkwood or Nyheim Hines

Saturday, November 11, 9:25 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Keith Kirkwood has been waived by the organization on Saturday. This isn't surprising as Kirkwood's snaps have been taking a hit over the last month or so. He was a healthy scratch for each of the last two games. He will finish his 2023 Saints stint with one catch on four targets for four yards. Kirkwood will look to catch on elsewhere, but would likely be a depth option on any organization. Fantasy managers can continue to ignore him going forward.

Cleveland Browns running back Nyheim Hines (knee) said that he expects to be ready to go for training camp in late July despite having surgery to fix a torn left ACL last August. As long as Hines doesn't have any setbacks with his surgically repaired knee, he will be in the mix for snaps on third downs, especially with Nick Chubb coming off a devastating knee injury of his own last year. The 27-year-old Hines will have a low floor and ceiling, though, in PPR fantasy leagues with Jerome Ford and D'Onta Foreman also competing for backfield touches in Cleveland. The former fourth-round selection by the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 out of North Carolina State has a total of 240 receptions (309 targets) for 1,778 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in his five NFL campaigns. Hines hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2022.
