Colts want to get T.Y. Hilton going

Dec 12, 2013

Da'Rick Rogers and Lavon Brazill combined for nine catches for 160 yards and four TDs against the Bengals.

Finally, help for Colts T.Y. Hilton, whose game-breaking skills have been neutralized the past month by defenses committed to not allowing him to do what he does best.

"Certainly the game that two of our young guys had — the numbers that they had and the production that they had — hopefully we continue that trend and it'll take some of that coverage ... away from T.Y.," coach Chuck Pagano said.

"We got to get him going again."

Fantasy Impact:

The last time Hilton faced the Texans, he racked up seven catches for 121 yards and three TDs, but he has been in a slump of late, failing to crack 50 yards in four straight games, culminating in a two-catch, seven-yard effort against the Bengals in Week 14. It's good to hear his head coach say they have to get him going, but Hilton is difficult to trust at this point.

Ravens RB Keaton Mitchell (knee) has chance to play Week 10

CBS Sports

50 minutes ago

Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Keaton Mitchell (knee) has a chance to play in Thursday night's matchup against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Related players: Derrick Henry, Justice Hill

Fantasy Impact:

Mitchell tore his ACL in Week 15 last year but has been practicing fully since last week. He didn't play in Week 9 but could get the call in Week 10. We all remember how explosive Mitchell was last year and eventually had stand-alone fantasy value despite not being a bell cow type back. He probably won't be that this season either with Henry leading the way and Hill also showing he's productive. Mitchell will also likely be eased back in the lineup at least to start, but at some point Mitchell could perhaps take over Hill's workload if he can prove to be as dynamic as he was a year ago.

Bills WR Amari Cooper (wrist) day to day

WR Amari Cooper, CB Christian Benford and FB Reggie Gilliam are all considered day-to-day, according to Bills head coach Sean McDermott.

Fantasy Impact:

It was a surprise that Cooper was inactive leading up to Week 9. Cooper did log limited sessions last week, so owners will want to pay close attention to this week's practice reports to see if Cooper can get in a full session. The good news for owners is Cooper and the Bills play an early Sunday game at the Colts, so owners should know in plenty of time to adjust their lineups based on Coopers game status.
