8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 5

Nyheim Hines, RB, Indianapolis Colts

The Indianapolis Colts' backfield situation has been a bit of a mess this season, and the only real constant has been Nyheim Hines. He has been on the field for 57% of the team's offensive snaps, while nobody else in the backfield has topped the 40% mark.

He's not their lead back in a traditional sense, averaging only 4.5 rush attempts per game compared to 9.5 for Jordan Wilkins, but Hines' passing game involvement has kept him on the field and buoyed his fantasy value.

Hines sits third on the team with 26 targets, and he has turned those into a team-high 22 receptions. He's coming off an 11-target, 9-reception showing in Week 4, and he could stand to see similarly impressive volume with T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) ruled out this week.

The Colts are also 10.5-point underdogs this week, meaning we can expect them to be forced into a very pass-heavy approach as they play from behind.

Hines' season-low 39% snap share came in the Colts' lone win, and with losses in the last two weeks, he has played 73% and 69% of the team's snaps, while no other back has topped even 35% in either of those games.
