Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton did not participate in the team’s practice on Thursday according to beat writer Zak Keefer. Hilton suffered a foot injury in last week’s loss to the Carolina Panthers.
T.Y. Hilton still can’t practice, unlikely to provide fantasy points this week
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton wasn’t even close to practicing on Thursday. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy impact: The most concerning part about Hilton’s injury is that his foot is still in a walking boot, which means the chances of him playing on Sunday against the Denver Broncos are slim to none.
Add in the fact that the Colts are struggling offensively in general and that they face off against one of the best secondary units in the game, and even if Hilton manages to miraculously suit up on Sunday, he’ll be in a tough matchup.
There are just too many factors working against Hilton’s fantasy owners to even consider starting him in light of the day’s news. Chris Harris, Aqib Talib and T.J. Ward have been shutting down top receivers all year long. It would be practically impossible for Hilton to produce significant offense playing hurt this week. Teammate Donte Moncrief will likely stand to benefit the most if Hilton is indeed absent against the Broncos.
