The last four games have been rough for Indianapolis Colts wideout T.Y. Hilton. Now, he has to face a very tough Denver Broncos defense in Week 15. The Broncos are excellent vs. opposing receivers. They have allowed the fewest receiving yards in the NFL to the position this season. While they usually shut receivers down, the Broncos have given up the sixth-most touchdowns to wideouts through 14 weeks. Hilton has not scored a touchdown against Denver in his career.

Hilton has faded to into the background of Colts offense since Week 9. The sixth-year deep threat caught two passes for 20 yards in the snowy affair against the Buffalo Bills Sunday. Hilton has three or fewer catches the last four games. He also has been held under 25 receiving yards three of the last four games. Hilton only has one touchdown in that span.
Fantasy impact: Hilton had a huge Week 9 but has struggled to do much of anything since. The Broncos present an interesting opportunity Thursday night. They pretty much shut down receivers yardage-wise, however, they also give up a lot of scores to the position. Hilton is a very risky play for the playoff semifinals. He has flex appeal based on his touchdown ceiling in Week 14.
Recommendation: Start
