T.Y. Hilton

T.Y. Hilton caught four of his five targets for 50 yards in Thursday's 27-13 win over the Titans.

Fantasy Impact

Hilton turned in a solid performance on Thursday, finishing third on the team in both receptions and receiving yards. The wideout seems to have carved out a role as a deep-ball man for the Cowboys thanks to his explosiveness. He will remain a dart throw DFS play in Week 18 against the Commanders.

T.Y. Hilton is active for Week 16 and will play against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Fantasy Impact

Hilton will look to make an impact in a Dallas passing attack desperate for some explosiveness against a tough Philadelphia secondary. Hilton is a desperation play in DFS formats with touchdown upside, although it is unknown how many snaps the wideout will see.

T.Y. Hilton has inked a deal with the Dallas Cowboys. The 33-year-old Hilton will look to add depth to the Cowboys' wide receiver group.

Fantasy Impact

Hilton enters a wide receiver room that has been desperate for bodies throughout the 2022 season. The 10-year-vet will have little fantasy relevancy given the fantasy playoffs begin in Week 15. The receiver pecking order will still flow as normal: CeeDee Lamb, Dalton Schultz and Michael Gallup. After this group, the Cowboys have struggled to find a consistent pass catcher to rely on. Hilton and the Cowboys hope that he can immediately contribute, but also stretch the field as well. Health has been an obstacle for Hilton unfortunately and he has not played a full season since 2017. Last season Hilton finished with three touchdowns, 23 receptions and 331 receiving yards across 10 games.

According to PFF's Ari Meirov, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters that re-signing T.Y. Hilton is still "in the mix."

Fantasy Impact

The Colts are still looking for a veteran WR to pair alongside the trio of WRs Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell and rookie Alec Pierce. Hilton has played 10 seasons with the Colts, starting nine games in Indianapolis last season. Even with arguably an upgrade at QB in Matt Ryan, Hilton wouldn't have much fantasy value at this stage of his career. Hilton had seven consecutive seasons as a top-24 WR in fantasy to start his career, but he has failed to crack the top-40 players at the position in each of his last three seasons. With his late-career injury concerns, he wouldn't be much more than a rotational pass catcher and a veteran presence in the locker room.

Veteran wide receiver T.Y. Hilton seemed to indicate on Twitter that he is returning for the 2022 season. Even NFL.com's Ian Rapoport chimed in, saying that Hilton is "not done yet."

Fantasy Impact

Hilton made $8 million over 10 games this past season. During that time, he hauled in a total of 23 passes for 331 yards and three touchdowns. He's a free agent this offseason, but it seems very reasonable to assume that he'd take a discount to stay with the Colts. He'll only have fantasy relevance in deeper leagues heading into next summer's drafts.
