Fellow RB Nyheim Hines (concu sion), who was ruled out of last Thursday night's game in the first half, did get a limited practice in, boosting his chances of returning to game action this week. If Taylor were to mi s a second-straight week, Hines would be a must-start PPR flex while other RBs Deon Jackson and Phillip Lindsay could be worth a look in deeper formats (more so Jackson). We'll see if the Colts lead back can return to practice in some capacity on Thursday.WEEK 6 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE 3:Conner (ribs) has officially been ruled out for Week 6.UPDATE 2:Conner (ribs) was not seen practicing during the Cardinals' open portion of practice, .
