5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 14
T.Y. Hilton Scored 28.9 Fantasy Points
It was not a given that T.Y. Hilton would even play for the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, given an injury-hampered week of practice. But play he did, and the Colts and his fantasy owners are joyful because of it.
Hilton tied his season-high with 9 receptions on his way to a season-best 199 yards against the Houston Texans on Sunday, marking his 3rd game with at least 100 receiving yards in his last 4. Hilton has frequently delivered against the Texans during his career, with seven 100-yard games against them. Sunday also took Hilton over 800 receiving yards for the year, a number he's reached seven times, marking the longest active streak in the NFL.
Hilton's volume and efficiency, assuming he remains healthy, keep him in the must-start category in any given week, even this week when the Colts take on the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season, but not many have the speed of a Hilton.
