Who Should I Start? Nyheim Hines or Tyler Allgeier

Tuesday, August 27, 5:14 PM

Cleveland Browns running back Nyheim Hines (knee), who is coming off surgery for a torn ACL, will remain on the Non-Football Injury list for the start of the 2024 regular season and will miss at least the first four games. Hines and fellow RB Nick Chubb (knee) pushed each other and made great strides during their rehab, but they both need more time and won't be available until at least a Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders on the road. The 27-year-old Hines tore his ACL when he was hit by a jet ski last summer and missed all of the 2023 campaign. At best, he'll be a pass-catching option on third downs for the Browns when he's able to return, making him only worth a flier in deep PPR leagues that have multiple IR spots. As things stand right now, Cleveland's RB room only includes Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. after they released D'Onta Foreman on Tuesday.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier (hip) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Allgeier has been a solid complement to Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield thus far this season. The Falcons' run game was particularly potent in Monday night's victory against the Philadelphia Eagles. Allgeier carried the ball nine times for 53 yards in Week 2. He has 12 carries for 74 yards on the season. If Allgeier is limited or cannot play this weekend then Robinson projects to see an even larger workload than usual.
