T.Y. Hilton - Week 16 vs. Dallas
The Houston Texans learned a lot from the last time they faced T.Y. Hilton. After being burned by him in Week 6 they held him to just four receptions for 50 yards in Week 15. Even though he struggled last week, he's still a great option in fantasy. He's surpassed 100 yards six times this season and has scored seven touchdowns.
He gets a difficult matchup this week against Dallas. The Cowboys have only allowed wideouts (as a team unit) to surpass 200 receiving yards once this season. Even though Dallas is a tough matchup, Hilton's potential makes him an easy WR1 option.
It should be noted Hilton did not practice on Wednesday after suffering a hamstring injury in the second half of last week's game. Pagano said he's "hopeful" Hilton will be available this week.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 15 vs. Houston Texans
You cannot stop T.Y. Hilton you can only hope to contain him. The Colts' wideout continues to have big games and continues to catch touchdown passes. He now has six touchdowns in his last six games. Continuing with the six theme, Hilton also recorded his sixth 100-yard game last week.
Expect another big performance from Hilton in Week 15 as he prepares to face Houston. The last time Hilton faced the Texans he went off catching nine passes for 223 yards and a touchdown (very nearly two touchdowns).
The Texans are a dream matchup for wideouts, which is why Hilton should be viewed as a must-start option this week.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 14 vs. Cleveland Browns
T.Y. Hilton continues to impress. He already has a new career high for receiving yards in a season this year. He's also finally starting to score touchdowns. He has four scores in his last five games.
This week Hilton gets to take on Joe Haden and the Browns. Don't be too afraid of the Haden matchup, however. While good, he hasn't exactly been shut down this season.
Considering Hilton's recent success and the Colts' explosive offense as a whole, you have to see Hilton as a borderline WR1/WR2. His ability to break a big play gives him a huge ceiling.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 13 vs. Washington
T.Y. Hilton delivered his promise to fantasy owners last week when he said he'd score a touchdown for his newborn daughter. He took a play 73 yards to the house and finished with four receptions for 122 yards. It was his fifth 100-yard game of the season.
Hilton's good fortunes should continue this week in a favorable matchup against Washington. A wideout has scored in every game but three against Washington. Hilton is the best bet to score in Indy as he's become the primary option.
Being the top target in one of the league's best offenses makes Hilton a WR1 start.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 12 vs. Jacksonville
T.Y. Hilton was bound to cool off eventually and he did last week in a tough matchup. He caught just three passes (for the second week in a row) and finished with a measly 24 yards (his lowest of the season). We wouldn't look too much into this performance as the Patriots focused their game plan on shutting down Hilton. He's still a top receiver.
Hilton will try to rebound this week against Jacksonville. The Jaguars are middle-of-the-road when it comes to defending wideouts. They can be taken advantage of, however. When Hilton faced the Jags earlier in the season he finished with five receptions for 80 yards.
He has the talent to explode for 100 yards in any game, so he's must-start material. He's also the top priority in the league's best passing offense. He's a WR1 start this week.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 11 vs. New England
T.Y. Hilton's 100-yard streak ended in Week 9, but he still had a strong outing with 71 yards and a touchdown. He's now scored in three of his last four games. He did have his lowest reception total (3) in the Colts' last game, which is a bit concerning. Especially considering how much the team threw the football.
Even so, Hilton proved once again he's a top fantasy option. He could struggle this week against Darrelle Revis and the Patriots, but we've seen him take advantage of good corners before. He should be viewed as a WR1.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 9 vs. New York Giants
T.Y. Hilton is emerging as one of the top receivers in fantasy football. He leads the entire NFL in receiving yards (866) and is fourth in the league in receptions (53). The good news for owners is most of Hilton's production is coming from his latest games. In the last three weeks he's surpassed 100 receiving yards. The only knock on Hilton's season so far is his two touchdown receptions. We'd like to see him find the end zone more often, but beggars can't be choosers.
He doesn't get a great matchup this week against the Giants, but it shouldn't matter. Andrew Luck and the Colts' offense has been matchup proof so far this year. Look for another big game from Hilton as he's a WR1 option this week with six teams on BYE.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 8 vs. Pittsburgh
T.Y. Hilton is one of the hottest receivers in the NFL right now. He has at least six receptions and 90 yards in each of his last four games. He's also averaging 131 yards during that span. The only negative to Hilton's game this season is his lack of touchdowns. He's scored just once all season.
Outside of that he's the main beneficiary of Andrew Luck's explosive season. He has the most targets (68), receptions (47) and yards (711) on the team. He has 277 more yards than the second leading receiver on the team.
He'll draw a tough Steelers matchup this week, but that shouldn't matter. Hilton should continue his high production and be used as a WR1.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 7 vs. Cincinnati
T.Y. Hilton had his first explosive performance of the season last week against Houston (9-223-1). We knew Hilton was capable of games like this, but it's the first we've seen of the year.
Hilton also caught nine balls in the game, making it two weeks in a row with that number. He's caught at least five passes in every game this season, making him very valuable in PPR formats.
He'll get a tough matchup against the Bengals this week, but he can still be used as a WR2.
T.Y. Hilton - Week 6 vs. Houston
T.Y. Hilton isn't being used as the explosive deep threat receiver anymore. He's catching a lot more passes for fewer yards. He has at least five receptions in every game this season, including 9-for-90 in Week 5. He's the fifth-most targeted receiver in the NFL this season. This is good news if you own Hilton in PPR formats.
Hilton will face off against a mediocre Texans defense in Week 6. Last year against Houston he had one of his biggest games of the season catching seven passes for 121 yards and three touchdowns.
He should be used as a WR2. The targets and yardage are there.
