What It Means:

Hines is expected to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is also on track to return, so Hines will play his usual complementary role on passing downs. It's worth noting that Deon Jackson played well over the last two weeks and might have earned a role in the backfield moving forward, which would likely cut into Hines' workload more than Taylor's.

numberFire's models project Hines for 2.9 targets and 2.3 carries versus the Titans and he has a $6,000 salary on FanDuel. Tennessee ranks 10th in run defense and fourth-worst against the pass, per our schedule-adjusted metrics, so they are a pass-funnel for Matt Ryan and the Colts.
