Week 9 at Pittsburgh Steelers
T.Y. Hilton caught only two passes last week in a low-scoring and close victory over the Broncos, but he still had 54 yards. Hilton remains a consistently solid fantasy option in all league formats, however, as the efficiency of Jacoby Brissett has benefitted Hilton greatly. He’s caught 69.6% of the balls thrown his direction and has five touchdowns in six games. He’s clearly the top option in the Colts’ passing game and is arguably the best weapon on offense.
This week, Hilton faces a Steelers defense that ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing wide receivers and struggled to defend against the Dolphins early on Monday night before Miami collapsed in the second half. Expect more targets, more production and a good shot at the end zone this week for Hilton, who should be active in all leagues as a solid WR2 option.
Update: Hilton injured his calf on Wednesday and is set to miss the next three weeks. Be sure to get him out of your lineup.
