Hilton picked up a bruised knee in the season opener. He was originally expected to miss several weeks, but got a limited practice in on Saturday and will be suiting up despite being listed as questionable on the injury report. Before the injury, Hilton was thriving off his usual connection with Andrew Luck, hauling in seven catches for 88 yards on 52 snaps in Week 1.
Fantasy impact: Hilton's activity is good news for fantasy owners who were fearing a multi-week absence, but it's entirely possible he will play a decoy role Monday night. If you've been holding on to this point, you obviously have to start Hilton, but be prepared for a potential disappointment. Donte Moncrief remains a strong flex option after posting a 6-46-1 stat line last week.
