T.Y. Hilton, wide receiver, Indianapolis Colts
Hilton is just not getting the love his fantasy owners are used to seeing this season.
Unfortunately, he has been playing with a turnover-prone and now injured Andrew Luck and an older backup quarterback in Matt Hasselbeck. At this point, Hilton has yet to score a touchdown or cross the 100-yard threshold in five games.
Hilton’s value has declined. He is averaging only 7.64 fantasy points (standard scoring) per game, and worse still is also catching only 54 percent of his targets. And, while Hilton is missing catches, the other Colts receivers are scoring all of the touchdowns. Donte Moncrief has three touchdowns, and suddenly the Colts remembered Andre Johnson is part of the team, and after Thursday night now has two scores.
Hilton is still a name brand receiver who could turn things around when Luck returns and gets with the program. However, the Colts face four teams that are currently undefeated in the next five weeks.
There is still trade potential for Hilton for someone who has the patience to wait.
