1. T.Y. Hilton, Indianapolis Colts
T.Y. Hilton has been a No. 1 receiver for many years now. That has not been the case this season with Philip Rivers under center. He is not being utilized in the offense in the same way while names like Jonathan Taylor and Mo Alie-Cox are sleeper fantasy football players.
There were concerns in the preseason that the Colts were going to lean on the run game and that is true through three games. Hilton has logged just 10 catches for 133 yards this season. He has been held under 100 yards in 16 straight games, including the postseason.
The Colts will be matched up against the Chicago Bears in this one who have been stingy against receivers this season. The Bears have not allowed a touchdown to a receiver yet this season.
The combination of the Colts’ offensive scheme and a difficult matchup against Chicago makes Hilton a tough play in this one. If you have not already benched Hilton, this is the week to do so.
