T.Y. Hilton was one of the best fantasy wide receivers in 2016, but he’s failed to reach that same level in 2017.
Fantasy football, Week 8: Start or sit T.Y. Hilton?
Can T.Y. Hilton get going against a stout Bengals secondary?


Hilton has a whopping three catches over his last two games. The most obvious reason for his struggles is being without Andrew Luck, who has yet to play this season as he continues to recover from shoulder surgery. That will be the case in Week 8, as Luck was ruled out for the Colts’ Week 8 clash with the Cincinnati Bengals.
The star pass-catcher just hasn’t gotten the same support from Jacoby Brissett, and it’s hard to see things getting better vs. a stingy Cincinnati secondary.
Fantasy advice: The Bengals are already allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, and they’re set to get star cornerback Adam Jones back from injury this week. As painful as it is, put Hilton on the bench this week and hope Luck returns ASAP.
