Fantasy Upside
T.Y. Hilton developed into a better all-around receiver last year. He was relied on a lot more after Reggie Wayne went down with injury and improved upon his rookie numbers in receptions and yards.
He started to catch fire near the end of the season. During the last three games (including the postseason) he averaged 160 receiving yards. He has incredible speed and can turn any catch into a touchdown.
Fantasy Downside
Hilton won’t be the main target in Indianapolis anymore. He now has to share the ball with Wayne, Hakeem Nicks and Dwayne Allen. There will be plenty to targets to go around, but Hilton may not improve on his 82 receptions from a season ago.
Another problem for Hilton is his inconsistency. In 2013 he had nine games with 46 yards or less and five with over 120 yards. He also only scored touchdowns in two games last year during the regular season.
Bottom Line
Hilton always has the chance to have a huge game, but his boom-or-bust stats knock him down to low WR2, high WR3 range. If you can predict when Hilton will have his blowup performances (like his 7 rec, 121-yard, 3 TD game vs. Houston) you’ll be in good shape.
