T.Y. Hilton had a slow evening for the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. He caught five passes for 41 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos Thursday night. Hilton left the game in the second quarter with a hand injury but he was able to return and only miss a handful of games. Despite being held below 50 yards, this was Hilton’s third-best game since Week 6. It was also his most targets and receptions since Week 9. Hilton leads the Colts receiving corps in receptions, yards, and scores.

Hilton has a tough matchup against a stingy Baltimore Ravens defense Saturday. The Ravens have been excellent against receivers this season. They give up the fewest touchdowns to WRs in the league, giving up just five scores to the position this season. They also allow the 10th-fewest yards to wideouts in the NFL.
Fantasy impact: It has been a hard year for Hilton. The Colts’ deep threat has not gotten the big-play opportunities he is good for this season. Hilton has another uphill climb ahead of him against the Ravens Saturday. There is no reason to consider starting Hilton this week.
