Week 6 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
T.Y. Hilton only had 69 yards last week, but it was a season-high for him, and it was on six receptions and 10 targets. It was good to see him lead the team in targets, even considering the Colts were trailing for much of the contest. Hilton is still developing a rapport with Philip Rivers, but he’s worth holding on to considering the attrition in the Indianapolis receiving corps.
This week, Hilton faces a Bengals defense that ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing wide receivers and just gave up 19.7 PPR points to Marquise Brown a week ago. It’s a nice matchup for Hilton, and if the Bengals can put up some points offensively and keep the Colts throwing, Hilton could once again see heavy targets. Fantasy owners should consider him a risky, but quality WR3 option in deep formats.
