What It Means:

Hines is a pass-catching specialist who should provide an upgrade for a Bills offense that averages the fifth-most pass attempts per game (38.7). Devin Singletary will likely lose a chunk of volume moving forward and James Cook could have a harder time getting on the field. In the Colts' backfield, Deon Jackson will presumably step in for Hines as the third-down back and Moss will remain an afterthought. Hines is expected to be available to make his Bills debut in Week 9 against the New York Jets.

numberFire's models project Hines for 8.1 touches (5.3 carries, 2.8 catches) and Singletary for 9.4 touches (8.0 carries, 1.4 catches) in Week 9. Singletary's receptions (23) have accounted for 24.5% of his volume this season.
