NFL Fantasy Football RB pick between 49ers' Jeff Wilson and Colts' Nyheim Hines: Who should you pick? 

Who should you pick between Jeff Wilson and Nyheim Hines for your fantasy team in Week 5? The San Francisco 49ers travel to the Carolina Panthers this weekend. Whereas, the Denver Broncos host the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night.

The 49ers look to build upon their most recent win over the Los Angeles Rams (24-9). So far, they are 2-2. Both their home games have been massive victories, but Wilson's side haven't looked good away from home.

The Colts have had a bad start to the season. They have only managed to get one victory, against the Kansas City Chiefs (20-17). They began the season with a tie against the Houston Texans. Their latest game was a defeat at the hands of the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium.
