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

Out until at least Week 5
Hines (knee) will open the regular season on the non-football injury list and miss a minimum of four games, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
ANALYSIS
Hines suffered an ACL tear last July when he was struck by a jet ski, costing him all of the 2023 season and now part of 2024. It's unclear if he'll have a significant role once he's deemed healthy enough to play, but there's at least some chance he eventually becomes a pass-catching option and return man for the Browns this year. Hines hasn't practiced this summer and won't be eligible to play any sooner than Oct. 6 against Washington.

![Browns to Place Nick Chubb on PUP List, Out 4 Games](https://res.cloudinary.com/rotowire/image/upload/ar_16:6,c_fill,dpr_auto,f_auto,g_auto:custom_no_override,q_auto,w_auto/eoculkvl6ss6awwaxdr1.jpg)
The Browns will reportedly leave Nick Chubb on the PUP List going into the regular season, ruling him out for at least Cleveland's first four games and leaving Jerome Ford as the starting running back.

Jerry Donabedian breaks down all 16 preseason games, including impressive NFL debuts from quarterbacks J.J. McCarthy and Caleb Williams.

The Browns have a stout defense anchored by pass rusher Myles Garrett, but QB Deshaun Watson has barely played in two years with the team, and Nick Chubb continues to recover from a devastating knee injury.

Employing Josh Allen keeps the Bills in the mix at the top of the AFC, but the quarterback and company have yet to get past Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. It's Super Bowl or bust again in Buffalo in 2024.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
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.

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.
