How do you see the T.Y. Hilton/DHB Split working out? (1 Viewer)

[gianmarco]

DHB also had to leave the game with busted ribs, and is questionable to return. Hilton's been playing as the #2 in all sets since then.

And he's showing everybody why he should be the #2 #1 every week.

Fixed.

 

[gsmayes]

he's the quintessential #3 fantasy WR; a deep threat that will have huge games and then disappear the next. You have to keep him in you're lineup every week, and on average you'll come out ahead.

 

[JuniorNB]

I'm interested to hear from Hilton owners this week.

He killed Miami last year, and I am wondering who you're benching to start Hilton.

I'm deciding between him and Thompkins as my WR3. I love the 14 targets for Thompkins last week. And the red zone looks. Plus, there are reports that Amendola may not play. May flip a coin.

I have Roddy White. So suddenly, Hilton's looking good <_<

Do yourself a favor, don't start Hilton. Start White, you're about to tank your season bro.

You're a historically bad poster. I love when trolls look like morons.

 

[JuniorNB]

Disappointing game for Hilton. About what can be expected from DHB.

Disappointment is a product of expectation. Hilton's were too high and continue to be.

How's that #3 receiver doing now compared to the #2?

You are gloating about being right when DHB got injured and Hilton got some extra reps? Sad way to "win" and poor logic.

I noticed he had 124 yards receiving. What does DHB's injury have to do with it? DHB wasn't around last year and Hilton lit it up in the second half of the season. DHB has ZERO impact on Hilton. He's never had an impact on anyone.

 

[vesihiisi]

I told you that he's a must-start every week if you're going to bother having him on your team.

This argument was one of the factors that lead me to keep him in my lineup, thanks.

Actually the extra reps didn't help TY as he didn't have a catch in the 2nd half but 124 yards is still 124 yards.

Nothing wrong with gloating as jurb and Ninja were doing that very thing last week when TY didn't do much.

Last year Hilton had Avery occupying the #2 CB so I'm looking forward to seeing how he does taking over the #2 role. He's in line for more targets, we'll see how well he can take advantage of them.

Me too. He should never be off the field. He's the Colts most dangerous weapon.

 

[EBF]

Hilton 2013 = Cobb 2012

Neither player is a conventional #1 target, but they're in a good spot with a QB who can get the most out of their skills.

Teams do not put their #3 cover guy on Hilton when he's in the game. DHB is the "starter" because he's a good run blocker. That's it. No team in their right mind would waste a #1 or #2 cover guy on DHB when Wayne and Hilton are on the field.

FYI, on Hilton's long, over the top reception yesterday, hew was covered by Grimes. Miami's best cover guy.

 

[Raider Nation]

And he's showing everybody why he should be the #2 every week.

He's clearly the better receiving threat... I'm not sure anyone is disputing that. But it's not that simple. The Colts seem determined to be a balanced offense, and Hilton can't block to save his life. They like DHB's outside blocking in the running game, so when he is healthy he'll still be very involved.

But as I wrote 8 or 9 pages ago, snap counts are almost irrelevant with Hilton. It only takes a couple of big shots and you have yourself a nice week.

 

[Raider Nation]

DHB is the "starter" because he's a good run blocker. That's it.

Exactly.

 

[pizzatyme]

DHB is the "starter" because he's a good run blocker. That's it.

Exactly.

While this is true, the center of the Colts O-line is a mess! Look for more toss sweeps, slants, screens, drags, etc. I think that benefits Hilton as he is quicker in that space. Griff Whalen is a decent 4th WR, so I don't think they lose much with DHB out.

And yes, Grimes seemed to be the one on Hilton most of the time yesterday.

Watched the game and it was Grimes. He did have him covered on the play but misplayed it and Hilton made a great catch.

 

[CowboysHomer]

I don't think Grimes misplayed it. Hilton just went up and got it over him, great play by T.Y.

 

[SoBeDad]

I don't think Grimes misplayed it. Hilton just went up and got it over him, great play by T.Y.

Yes, he was well covered by Grimes, who is the Phins best cover corner, and made a great play. Luck went deep a couple of other times, but Hilton was well-covered.

I watched the game and DHB didn't seem to be on the same page as Luck. Maybe with time they'll have better chemistry, or maybe DHB is not a great route runner.

Has to be schtick, since Hilton is 7 inches shorter than A.J. and Julio.

I like him, but completely different type of guy. The Colts hope he can be their Percy Harvin though.

 

[Saint]

Week 1: DHB (6.3 pts) vs TY (5.0 pts)

Week 2: TY (18.4 pts) vs DHB (3.0 pts - Injured and left game)

Series is tied at 1-1

 

[cstu]

(TheHuddle)Indianapolis Colts WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (shoulder) is expected to practice Wednesday, Sept. 18, or Thursday, Sept. 19. He underwent an MRI on his injured shoulder, but it did not show any problems.

Analysis: There isn't much fantasy value here, but having him on the field takes pressure off Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton.

It takes more than just being on the field to produce numbers or every wr in the league would be putting up 100 yard games just by virtue of being a starter. If he doesn't have the talent, the numbers won't be there. Talk about blind stupidity.

Explain his 5 touchdowns and 500 yards in the last eight games of 2012. Blind squirrels again? lol At some point, everyone will catch up to those who spotted his talent last year. Obviously, a few are quite far behind.

 

[ponchsox]

Does this elevate Hilton into a WR2 every week starter or is he still more of a WR3/flex play?

It takes both talent and being on the field. The stupidity is in that he wasn't going to be on the field enough to produce those numbers. Without multiple injuries, Hilton would not have had a chance to justify his low-end WR2/high-end WR3 price tag in redrafts.

Dude, did you just start watching football this year? Injuries mean nothing to Hilton's success. I'm tired of gift-wrapping them for you, but look up his stats in the second half of last season. Then look up his stats this preseason. THAT'S why he was gaining buzz and his draft stock was where it was. After the first game, where Hilton only had 22 receiving yards, the coaches came right out and said they had to do a better job of getting the ball to Hilton. He is their Randall Cobb. Their best offensive weapon. The coaches weren't predicting injuries to DHB and Allen. They were admitting their mistake in not getting Hilton the ball.

Of course they did. 124 yards receiving. Please understand, 11 of 12 owners missed out on Hilton, so not everyone is going to admit to how good the kid is.

124 yards in the first half. Miami adjusted and shut him down in the second half. I worry that other defenses might to the same.

So with DHB healthy, you pictured Hilton just standing around on the sideline most of the time after his excellent finish last season? No matter what the coaching staff said to the media, that wasn't going to be the case.

Not to let facts get in your way or anything, but Indy had 315 yards of offense in the 1st half, and only 133 in the 2nd. They didn't "adjust" to Hilton and shut him down, they shut down the entire Colts offense.

Stud? He's had one horrible week and one good week. This has far from played itself out. However, the injury to Allen changes the complexion of things. As stated before the season even started, Hilton has much better odds of producing if either WR in front of him or either TE gets injured. Allen down, Hilton has a nice game. We'll see if it continues.With Allen done for the year I'd bump both Hilton and DHB.

This blind squirrel just found a Richardson!

 

[jurb26]

Thru 3 weeks;

DHB, 14 targets, 10 rec, 102 yds

Fantasy wasteland so far.

DHB way more involved than Hilton today. He looked solid doing it as well.

Hilton = Boom or Bust

 

[need2know]

it seems they are going to pound it with bradshaw and richardson. probably wont see great passing numbers unless they fall behind

 

[DirtyCashDylan]

I was thinking we would see more PA pass and Hilton would be that guy but he's not even on the field for PA type formations. I'm about to drop him.

 

[hines]

both are droppable in shallow leagues it looks like. a run-heavy attack where the #2 and #3 WR split targets can't sustain consistent starters. I'd rather have Hilton long-term but DHB over the next few weeks as Hilton gets over the groin issue
