Is TY Hilton going to play? (1 Viewer)

[packer_junkie]

In my league due to maxing out my roster moves (Used my last one last week to nab starks incase my Lacy couldn't play, remember on wednesday EVERYONE was saying he was gonna sit), I am stuck? with TY @ flex or plugging in a member of my extremely weak bench (Harvin, D Allen, etc)

My post is for anyone who has more knowledge than I do-- he hasn't practiced wednesday or thursday-- is he gonna play? The signs point to yes but we all know that doesn't mean much??

With all the Murray talk, I feel like his Hamstring injury is going a little under the radar (He is the #8 WR in my league), not quite the RB1 but a HUGE advantage to owners like me who can plug him in at the flex spot!

Insight?

Did he practice today?

MRI was negative but it had to hurt enough for them to want to scan it so I would guess he gets quite a bit of rest leading up to the game.

I think if they lose, the Bengals get their 2nd spot if they win. If they win and Pats lose, they get top seed. I'm not sure on these tiebreakers but irregardless, It's still real close at the top of the standings so there's definitely something to play for still.

This may be the Moncrief breakout we've been waiting for in the playoffs. Sounds like Wayne will be on a snap count also.

 

[Mr. Know-It-All]

He didn't practice yesterday or today - I am starting to make other plans (which will SUCK) but will be happily surprised if he suits up Sunday.

You forgot the Broncos.

yea this is a meaningless game, hope he sits to get that hammy right, this game has no bearing. Ne, Den are getting top 2 seeds anyone who doesn't see that or believe that should go to shuffleboard, Indy is locked in at 3 rest him do the smart thing.

Colts WR T.Y. Hilton misses Friday practice

by Sean d'Oliveira | CBSSports.com
(46 mins ago) Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton was once against not able to practice Friday, reports ESPN.Hilton is dealing with a hamstring injury and has not been able to practice at all this week. If Hilton can't play Sunday at Dallas, wide receiver Donte Moncrief is expected to see an increase in playing time. In 14 games, Moncreif has caught 27 receptions for 423 yards and three touchdowns.

The Colts are 3-point underdogs to Dallas.

 

[angman]

Not gonna pretend like I'm Nostradamus here, but it's looking highly unlikely he's going to play. Even if he does, it doesn't appear like he'd be playing anywhere near 100% and would probably be limited at best.

 

[dcgangstas]

From Rotoworld, for what it's worth:

Mike Chappell of RTV6 Indianapolis is "convinced" T.Y. Hilton (hamstring) will not play Week 16 against the Cowboys.
Chappell has been covering the Colts for 30 years. His opinion is worthy of taking note. Hilton hasn't practiced at all this week and wasn't present again Friday. If he sits, Donte Moncrief should see a major boost in snaps. With Reggie Wayne and Hakeem Nicks lacking any semblance of separation skills, Moncrief and Coby Fleener could hog targets against the Cowboys' weak pass defense.

If this holds true, go get Donte Moncrief!!

 

[Darryl Talley]

Well, I'm glad I don't have to worry about it. We won last week with his 50 yards and WE WILL DO IT AGAIN.

TY ####cake.

I am out of roster moves and my bench is ####.... would you start Fleener @ TE & Allen @ Flex & hope for the best?? My other options are serious #### like Percy, Starks, Bryce Brown.

Yes. They should both get more targets with TYout. Allen gets the red zone love too. Dallas can't cover TE's.

Think you got it bad? I have Jeffery AND Hilton as my WR2/WR3. One is completely unstartable due to injury and the other is close to unstartable due to a new qb. I am reaching down into the bag of tricks with no roster moves. Hello Kenny Stills/hello Martavis Bryant...goodbye championship.

If Hilton can't go I have to resort to Harry Douglas or Marquess Wilson. Probably Douglas because who knows what the Bears will do in the air with Claussen.

Starting Fleener and Allen sounds like a decent plan if Hilton is out. His targets have to go some where, so the tight ends should net an extra 3 or 4 targets (at least) compared to their usual load.

I'll raise you: I have Hilton, Jeffery and Hopkins who now has Mr. Wrestler #2 coming out of the stands to play QB.

And my best RB is McCoy.

I'm uckfeyed.

I can only laugh because I am playing with house money at this point. Lucked my way into the playoffs - lucked out two straight wins when Manning and Rodgers underperformed for my opponents, so I was due for some bad luck in the finals. So not bitter at all - just laughing at the extent of how bad that luck turned. On the bright side OBJ could turn in another 3 td game and make all the injuries irrelevant - so it is house money and at worst I get runner up money when I was really expecting to get knocked out in the first round.

Let's go Moncrief!

If Moncrief is rostered who is plan B on colts.

 

[gchip]

I wish I had Harry Douglas. I'm stuck betting on Anquan Boldin. I hope Kaep can actually hit the broad side of a barn this weekend.

 

[BigSteelThrill]

Wondering if Reggie Wayne has some added value as a result. Moncrief is obviously shiney and new.

They gave Wayne Friday off for rest and listed him as probable. Sounds like they want to utilize him.

Hmmm, Indy with nothing to play for. Maybe Nicks will get the Lions share.

He's the only one available in my league. That's a serious desperation play though...

Thought about Nicks but throwing in Baldwin instead. Don't trust Hilton at all this week.

If this holds true, go get Donte Moncrief!!

Wayne still produces some. If he is retiring, this makes a nice setting with a big game here

He needs 13 catches over the next two games to pass T.O. for #6 all-time in Receptions.

He needs 1 TD to move up from #22 to #18. 2 TDs to move up to #15.

Feeling ya man. T.Y. & Alshon are my 1 & 2. I just hope they rule out T.Y. early. I have Luck as my QB and going to plug in Moncreif over guys like Desean, JMatthews, Percy, Davante. Also have DAllen as my TE so rolling w/ a Colts trio got me to my Championship now hopefully they'll win me one.

I don't think you are going to find out about TY in time to decide him or Mathews/Desean. It sucks because if TY plays I think you want to go with one of them. It depends on the rest of your team and how many points you need out of that slot. I would go with one of the guys today (I would lean Mathews) because if you wait until tomorrow you could be in big trouble.

Yeah having Desean & Matthews going today hurts me but I'm cool w/ rolling with Moncrief over them. I just want Indy to officially rule out T.Y. that way I know he's not lurking around stealing snaps from Donte. If TY did play a little and grab a TD then at least thats points for me w/ Luck at QB.

Not true. Even though they probably aren't gonna get a bye (unless they win out and NE or Denver lose out), they still have a shot at the 3 seed. You always want the higher seed, so they have something to play for.

 

[T with T]

they are the 3 seed... they would have to lose out to lose that and other team behind them would have to win out. It is really a throw away game for Indy.

 

[LordHusker]

Moncrief! Yeah baby!

 

[NREC34]

Too bad the whole Colts team decided not to play today.

 

[Gvindy]

Indy fans don't travel well, blame me. I think the enormity of the jumbotron and the noise just was too much. Penalties, miscommunication. Just sloppy all around...
