The Indy Star projects Darrius Heyward-Bey as the starter opposite Reggie Wayne.
T.Y. Hilton posted a 50/861/7 line as a rookie and No. 3 wideout last season, significantly better numbers than Heyward-Bey recorded in three of his four seasons with the Raiders. We'd expect the pair to rotate in two-wide sets at first, but the Colts will run plenty of three-wide formations. Hilton still has significant upside as a 23-year-old playmaker for Andrew Luck. He could even end up simply beating out DHB for the starting gig at training camp. Apr 11 - 12:03 PM

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught eight passes for 66 yards at Baltimore in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.

His 13 targets were second only to Reggie Wayne's 18. Hilton's highlight was a 25-yard catch-and-run to set on 3rd-and-26 to set up Adam Vinatieri's 52-yard field goal just before halftime. Hilton was seen limping in the second half, but played through the injury. Arguably the NFL's best rookie receiver, the 92nd overall pick in the draft turned out to be a playmaking gem for GM Ryan Grigson. Hilton finished 25th in fantasy points while outproducing Wayne in the second half of the season.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton led the Colts with four catches for 111 yards in Sunday's Week 17 win over the Texans.

Hilton could have had an even bigger game but was ruled down at the goal-line on what would have been a 22-yard touchdown. It's the first time he's topped 100 yards since Week 13. Depending on what Chris Givens does against the Seahawks, Hilton should finish the regular season second among rookies in receiving yards (861) and first in touchdowns (seven). He could be in for another big game next week against the Ravens' secondary.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton was held to 34 yards on two receptions in the Colts' Week 16 win over Kansas City.

Although Indianapolis pulled out the victory, its passing game struggled all day as Andrew Luck was often off the mark and frequently under duress. Luck finished with just 205 yards, translating to a slow day for the Colts' third receiver. The Colts wrap up the regular season in Week 17 against the Texans.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton has eight of the Colts' 15 longest plays of the season.

Donnie Avery has four; no other players has more than one. The average length of Hilton's seven touchdowns is 39.6 yards, and his 16.3 yards per catch average is fifth-best in the NFL. The speedy third-round rookie is seventh in fantasy points over the past five weeks and 28th on the season.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught three passes for 78 yards and a touchdown in the Colts' Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Hilton blew past sleeping Texans dime-package safety Quintin Demps for his 61-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Targeted six times, Hilton continues to be a superior week-to-week fantasy bet than Donnie Avery. Consider Hilton a high-upside WR3 when the Colts face the Chiefs in Week 16.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught two passes for 50 yards in Week 14 versus the Titans.

Hilton was targeted five times on the afternoon, and he was missed big time on one of those passes on the opening drive that would have easily gone for an 80-yard score. He added two punt returns for 24 yards. It's clear the Colts want to get the ball in Hilton's hands, but it's not consistent enough to warrant weekly WR3 consideration.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught six passes for 100 yards in the Colts' Week 13 win over the Lions.

Hilton continues to act as the Colts' No. 3 wideout behind Reggie Wayne and Donnie Avery, but that's becoming increasingly less of a concern. Interim coach Bruce Arians sees how explosive Hilton is, calling a ton of three-wide sets and targeting Hilton on screens. The third-round rookie now has four 100-yard games on the season -- and three of them have come in the last five weeks. On pace for 784 yards and eight receiving touchdowns, Hilton will be on the WR3 radar against the Titans' miserable defense in Week 14.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught three passes for 33 yards and a touchdown and returned a punt 75 yards for another touchdown in the Colts' Week 12, 20-13 win over the Bills.

Hilton accounted for both of Indianapolis' trips to the end zone on Sunday. He took a punt 75 yards to the house in the first quarter then caught an eight-yard score from Andrew Luck in the fourth quarter, which ended up being the game-winning score. Hilton was shaken up in the first half after returning a punt and getting drilled in the back of the head, but he missed just a series on offense. Colts GM Ryan Grigson took Hilton with the No. 92 overall pick out of Florida International, and he has shaped up as one of the steals of the 2012 draft. Unfortunately, Hilton is stuck behind Donnie Avery and is no more than a WR3 in fantasy.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught six passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Indy's Week 11 loss to the Patriots.

Hilton caught a 14-yard strike over the middle for his first touchdown in the first quarter before scorching new Pats CB Aqib Talib for a 43-yard score in the fourth. The 100-yard game was his third of the season. Amazingly, Hilton entered Week 11 as the only rookie receiver to have even one 100-yard day on the year. He was joined by Justin Blackmon this afternoon. With Donnie Avery (concussion) looking shaky for Week 12, Hilton could be a strong WR3.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton was held without a catch but rushed for 30 yards on two end-around plays in Week 10 against the Jaguars.

Hilton was targeted just once in the receiving game, but that play was negated due to a head-shot on Andrew Luck. The Colts clearly want to get the ball into the speed threat's hands. With Donnie Avery (hip) active and getting the start opposite Reggie Wayne, there wasn't enough to go around especially after the Colts got out to a big lead. The rookie isn't worth a roster spot in 12-team leagues, but he's a strong stash in dynasty circles.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

Andrew Luck raved about rookie WR T.Y. Hilton following Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

Hilton stepped up with six catches for 102 yards and a touchdown. He also dropped a perfectly thrown touchdown pass in the second quarter. "T.Y. is a phenomenal player, dynamic," Luck said. "He can stretch the field, he's quick. Drops happen, but obviously, you don't expect them out of him." If Donnie Avery's hip injury proves serious, Hilton is going to be a strong add in fantasy circles.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton hauled in six passes for 102 yards and a touchdown versus the Dolphins in Week 9.

Hilton had a team-high 11 targets as Donnie Avery (hip) missed the final quarter and a half. After a pair of drops on potential touchdowns, Hilton came up huge in defeating double coverage for a 38-yard touchdown to give the Colts a 20-17 lead late in the third quarter. If Avery's injury keeps him out at Jacksonville in Week 10, Hilton will be worthy of WR3 consideration.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

T.Y. Hilton caught five passes for 35 yards at Tennessee in Week 8.

Hilton was targeted six times. He made an impressive sideline grab, but couldn't get free after the catch this week. There's an argument to be made that he's more deserving of a full-time job than Donnie Avery, but the Colts have been reluctant to elevate the rookie.

T.Y. Hilton - WR - Colts

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton managed two catches for 22 yards in the team's Week 7 win over the Browns.

Hilton also returns punts, gaining eight yards on his lone Week 7 opportunity. Hilton is a nice young player, but he doesn't see enough targets to sustain any hint of consistency as the third receiver in Indy's offense. Hold Hilton in Dynasty leagues, but he's not roster-worthy in 12-team re-draft settings.
