Who Should I Start? Nyheim Hines or Tyrion Davis-Price

Tuesday, February 18, 9:08 PM

The Cleveland Browns released running back Nyheim Hines (knee) on Tuesday. Hines has not played in an NFL game due to a torn ACL since 2022, when he split time with the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills. The Browns were hoping that the 28-year-old would be ready at some point in 2024, but that never came to pass and he spent all year on Injured Reserve. He'll now have to prove he's past his knee injury in order to get picked up by another team looking for a RB with pass-catching skills out of the backfield as depth at the position. The former fourth-rounder (104th overall) by the Colts in 2018 out of North Carolina State has 306 rushing attempts for 1,202 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 240 receptions for 1,778 receiving yards and eight TDs in five NFL seasons. Even if Hines latches on with a new team for 2025, he won't be on the fantasy radar.

Per the team, the Philadelphia Eagles have waived running back Tyrion Davis-Price. The former San Francisco 49er spent his first two seasons in the league with the organization after they drafted him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Davis-Price was productive in his final season at LSU, rushing for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 221 carries (4.8 YPC). However, he hasn't quite carved out a role at the NFL level. During his stint with San Francisco, the 24-year-old rushed 40 times for 120 yards (seven appearances), failing to catch either of his targets. In 2024, he suited up just once, toting three carries for seven yards. He may find some work on special teams, as Davis-Price possesses solid athleticism, but he doesn't figure to stick in an offense or make an impact for fantasy.
