T.Y. Hilton-Indinapolis Colts

The first of my WR sleepers for the week is a top-ten option every week, but I think he’s lined up for a monster week. He could even end up chasing down A.J. Green for top WR start of the week. Hilton and the Colts play the early game on Sunday as they travel to London and take on the Jaguars.

Last week, Hilton scored the game-winning touchdown against the Chargers taking a short pass 63-yards to for the 26-22 win. Hilton ended up with 174 yards on his eight catches as well as taking his first trip to the end zone this season. He should be able to build on that confidence this week since he has a history of shredding his divisional rivals from Jacksonville posting at least 100 yards in four of his eight career matchups against them.

Hilton should get a ton of work this week since the Colts are dealing with injuries at WR.  Donte Moncrief (the team’s no. 2 option) is out again this week and Phillip Dorsett is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Hilton already had 12, 11, and 11 targets in his three games, and he could get closer to 15-18 looks this week.When a playmaker like Hilton is getting that many chances, I think he has a great chance to again be an elite play. He has unlimited potential and should be started in almost every format.

Hilton isn’t one of the typical WR sleepers, but since not many places have him as a top-5 play, I think he will out-perform his expectations and come up huge.
