Scouting report

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Los Angeles Chargers

T.Y. Hilton will no doubt be considered riskier with Jacoby Brissett at quarterback now that Andrew Luck retired, but he should still be productive. While not great numbers, he did manage 57 catches, 966 yards and four touchdowns with Brissett in 2017 on a far-inferior team with a completely different coaching staff and philosophy. It’s likely his second season with Brissett will be more prolific.

Hilton has a tough matchup to start the season. The Chargers allowed the fifth-least fantasy points to opposing wide receivers last year and Hilton may struggle in his first game out of the gate. We have him ranked as a borderline WR2, which makes him worth starting in most leagues, but temper your expectations for him against a good defense.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

I love T.Y. Hilton. I’ve always loved T.Y. Hilton. Every year, he’s undervalued. Yet, every year, he produces. He’s had at least 1,000 yards in six of the past seven years, and the one season he was under was 2017, when he had 966 yards without Andrew Luck behind center. Last year, with Luck back at full strength, Hilton had 1,270 yards and six touchdowns on 76 receptions. He’s been steady throughout his entire career and has racked up at least 90 targets in every season. In a prolific Colts offense entering year two of the Frank Reich era, Hilton should continue to thrive.

Fantasy Downside

At only 5-foot-10, 183 pounds, Hilton doesn’t look the part of a prototype WR1, and his slender frame could potentially become a durability issue. Although he’s missed only four games in his career, two of those were last season and he had a banged-up ankle to close out the year. Hilton also will have a little more competition for targets this season with rookie Parris Campbell and veteran free agent Devin Funchess added to the roster. Plus, Jack Doyle was in-and-out of the lineup last season and could get more targets if he can stay on the field. Hilton has never been a big target in the end zone and has never scored more than seven touchdowns in a season.

2019 Bottom Line

Barring injury, pencil Hilton in for another 1,200 yards and six touchdowns at least. Only the Steelers attempted more passes than the Colts last year, so there should be plenty of balls to go around. Hilton has a built-in rapport with Luck and he’s right in his prime at 29 years old. He’s a high-floor option in the late-fourth round of fantasy drafts and should be well worth his ADP.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 19 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 19 at Kanas City Chiefs

Despite being five-point underdogs in Kansas City, Vegas expects a shootout between the Chiefs and the Colts. That has pushed the Colts implied team total in the divisional round up higher than 25 points. In the passing game, KC ranks just 25th in aFPA to WRs. T.Y. Hilton hasn't practiced in weeks but keeps playing. He's in a position for a big week again if he can make it through the game. If he struggles to stay on the field, Dontrelle Inman has emerged as the Colts WR2 and makes for a solid sleeper option in the divisional round.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Tennessee Titans

The Colts offensive starters, if healthy, will play a full 60 minutes in Week 17 in what has turned into a play-in game against the Titans. Indianapolis is a 3-point road favorite with an implied team total of 23.25 points. Tennessee is just 26th in aFPA to WRs, and T.Y. Hilton should feast. He torched Adoree Jackson mostly in Week 11, finishing with his best game of the season. With at least eight targets in six consecutive games, Hilton is locked into WR1 status in Week 17.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. New York Giants

The Colts host the Giants as more than a touchdown favorite with a top five implied team total of 28.25 points in Week 16. New York ranks 14th in aFPA to WRs this season. That's nothing T.Y. Hilton can't beat, even as his practice time has dwindled late in the season to keep him healthy for kickoff. No other Colts WR is on the fantasy radar though.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Indianapolis has an above average implied team total this week against a tough Dallas defense. That implied total is 25 points. However, the Cowboys rank top five in aFPA to RBs, foreshadowing a pass-heavy attack for the Colts. The Cowboys may rank top 10 in aFPA to WRs, but T.Y. Hilton is as dependable as they get in terms of targets lately, with three straight 10+ target games. Monitor his status before kickoff to make sure he's active, but if he is, you have to start him.

IND WR T.Y. Hilton - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Houston Texans

The Colts have a very modest implied team total of 22.75 points this week, with negative game script expected on the road in Houston. The Texans rank only 22nd in aFPA to WRs, and T.Y. Hilton has torched the Texans, as you'll see below. Plus, Browns' WR Antonio Callaway had two 70-yard+ receptions in Houston last week, one negated by holding and one where Callaway fumbled inside the five-yard-line. Hilton has a chance to be elite this week and should, at worst, post low-end WR1 numbers.
