2024 Fantasy Outlook
Hines didn't see the field at all in 2023 due to an ACL tear, putting his NFL future in question. The North Carolina State product spent the first four-plus seasons of his career as an effective passing-down back for the Colts, averaging over 50 catches and nearly 400 receiving yards from 2018-2021, but his numbers declined in 2023 as he split the campaign between Indianapolis and Buffalo. After signing a one-year deal with Cleveland in March, he joins a crowded backfield but could contribute early if Nick Chubb isn't fully healthy to begin the season. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play in 2024
Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Hines (knee) won't be activated from the reserve/non-football injury list and will remain sidelined for the rest of the 2024 season, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hines resumed practicing Oct 2, but with his 21-day evaluation window officially coming to an end Wednesday, the Browns didn't have a spot available for him on the 53-man roster. The running back had been working his way back from a torn ACL suffered in July 2023, and though Hines experienced no reported setbacks since he resumed practicing, the Browns already had four other backs on the roster and weren't willing to clear room for him. Though Hines will remain on the NFI list for now, he would be able to play for another team this season if he and the Browns are able to reach an injury settlement.

2018
Between seven games with the Colts and nine with the Bills in 2022, Hines rushed 24 times for 33 yards and a TD while posting a 30-241-1 receiving line. The running back made a bigger mark in the return game, handling 16 punts (9.6 yards per return) and 19 kickoffs (29.2 yards per return), including two TDs. Hines averaged 52.5 catches with Indianapolis his first four years in the NFL, so even though he only caught five passes for Buffalo last year, he has the ability to produce in that role (along with his special teams duties) if given the opportunity. Unfortunately, Hines was injured this summer in an off-field accident and will miss the 2023 season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Aiming for training camp return
Hines, who missed the entire 2023 after tearing his ACL in a jet ski accident in July, is optimistic that he will be ready for Browns' training camp, Coral Smith of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Hines joined the Browns on a one-year deal in March, and he will be part of a backfield that is led by Nick Chubb, who himself is recovering from two surgeries to repair multiple injuries in his left knee. If Hines is ready to go for training camp, he'll compete against D'Onta Foreman, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong for the primary backup spot behind Chubb. In his last full season in 2022, Hines accumulated 274 yards and two touchdowns on 54 touches while returning two kickoffs for touchdowns.
