BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED: 38% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Had you told me that I'd be writing about T.Y. Hilton as a WW target leading up to Week 13 of the 2020 season just three months ago, I'd have probably laughed at you. How times change, folks. We have completed two-thirds of the fantasy football season and Hilton is just the WR70 (!) in total PPR points while averaging 8.0 fantasy points per game. And it is not that he has missed ample time, with 10 games played and 55 targets (54th-most) to his name through W12.

Everybody expected Hilton to be Indianapolis' WR1 this season, and a great leading receiver indeed now playing under veteran Philip Rivers instead of middling Jacoby Brissett. Well, it wasn't to be. Hill has in fact being the most-targeted WR of the Colts, but he hasn't been a fantasy WR1, nor WR2, nor weekly FLEX-worthy play. Is that finally about to change, though?

Hilton had his best game of the season this past Sunday facing the Titans. He closed the game at 18.1 PPR points, which marked the second time this season he's scored double-digit fantasy points. He caught 4 of his 5 targets for 81 yards and he also went on to score his first touchdown of the season. It's about damn time.

Indianapolis has one of the easiest WR-schedules ROS, facing the 21st, 19th, 21st, and 18th-best defenses against fantasy wideouts through the last week of the fantasy football season. If you're desperate for 8.0 points weekly, Hilton will give you those. If you're one of those believing Hilton has finally gotten it right, he should be closer to reach 12-15 PPR points going forward. Not a must-add for every fantasy GM, but definitely someone to target heavily in deeper formats and to play at the FLEX spot ROS.
