Fifth Toughest Wide Receiver in 2016 – T.Y. Hilton

T.Y. Hilton has been on fire in the past few seasons, and when you consider that Andrew Luck is his quarterback – Yeah, he should be due for another 1,000 yard receiving season in 2016. It’d be the fourth of his career (this season will be his fifth in the NFL).

T.Y. Hilton caught 69 passes last year for 1,124 yards and had five trips to the end zone. The fact that Luck was out for nearly half the season and Hilton still put up the yards he did is impressive.

Hopefully Marcus Peters will be able to keep Hilton in check. Otherwise, this one could get ugly.

The Colts always seem to get the best of the Chiefs, and Hilton very well could give them a nightmare of a day in week eight. That game will be played in Indianapolis and if it goes anything like the last time the two teams met, Chiefs fans will be crying by the end of the game.

T.Y. Hilton had one hell of a day the last time he faced the Chiefs. For those of you who don’t remember, that was in the 2013 playoffs, when the Chiefs blew a 28-point lead.

Hilton had 13 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns. It was a day when the Chiefs secondary decided not to show up for the second half, and Hilton cruised as a result.

Hopefully Marcus Peters will be able to keep Hilton in check. Otherwise, this one could get ugly.
