Who Should I Start? Nyheim Hines or Isaiah Spiller

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he is "not sure" when running back Nyheim Hines (knee) will practice with the team for the first time. The 27-year-old is rehabbing from a torn ACL that he suffered off the field last offseason as a member of the Buffalo Bills. Despite that, the Browns signed him to a one-year, $1.15 million deal after free agency began. Since being traded to the Bills in the middle of the 2022 campaign, Hines has rushed for negative three yards and caught five passes for 53 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, Cleveland has Nick Chubb (knee), D'Onta Foreman, and Jerome Ford on the roster. That said, it'd be surprising if Hines has a role in the offense this season, but he could be a factor in the kick return game if he can work his way back from the unfortunate injury.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller could have a big role again in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Spiller led the Chargers backfield in Week 15, picking up 50 yards on 16 carries. It was hard to tell what the real plan was as the Chargers had no chance as early as the first quarter, but Spiller did end up getting fed the ball. With the Chargers having nothing to play for and just trying to close out the season, they may stick with Spiller to see what they have for next season, especially since Austin Ekeler will be a free agent.
