T.Y. Hilton not practicing on Thursday, fantasy status remains cloudy
The Colts’ No. 1 wide receiver’s chances of playing on Monday night diminish with every practice he misses due to a knee injury. We break down the fantasy implications.

Hilton exited Sunday's matchup vs. the Buffalo Bills due to a knee contusion, and it could be in danger of keeping him out a few weeks. Owner Jim Irsay suspected as much on Sunday, and head coach Chuck Pagano noted that Hilton is still "day-to-day" and dealing with swelling.
Fantasy Spin: With two more days of practice left, Hilton’s odds of taking the field on Sunday are still there, but decreasing rapidly. If Hilton does not take the field on Friday or Saturday, owners will have to view his chances of playing on Monday night as slim-to-none.
If Hilton did play under these circumstances, there's reason to believe that it wouldn't be at a limited capacity. Should Hilton sit out, Donte Moncrief will be in line for a significant boost to his workload. Because of the Monday night slot, fantasy owners would be wise to keep Hilton on their benches until good news emerges.
