Colts optimistic T.Y. Hilton (quad) will play in Week 8

The Indianapolis Colts are optimistic that veteran receiver T.Y. Hilton (quad) will play in Week 8 against the Tennessee Titans.

What It Means:

Hilton has battled just to see the field in 2021, playing in just 1 game thus far and leaving that contest early with the quad issue that earned him a questionable tag for this week's divisional game against the Titans. If he does play, he'll likely slide in as the team's WR2 behind Michael Pittman Jr. and as their best speed option.

Hilton, who has a $6,200 salary on FanDuel, has a very soft matchup against a Titans defense allowing the most fantasy points per game (39.8) to opposing wideouts this season, but between injuries, age, and limited play volume from the Colts, he'll face an uphill battle for fantasy production. Our models project him for 4.2 fantasy points.
