Comeback: Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton

It seems like forever since T.Y. Hilton has had a major fantasy impact, but in 2018 Hilton caught 76 passes for 1,270 yards and 6 TDs. Last year was an aberration for him as he dealt with a calf injury for the better part of the season and only played in 10 games catching a mere 45 passes. Compounding the issue was that Hilton (and all of the Colts) went from playing with Andrew Luck to Jacoby Brissett. No knock on Brissett, but Luck is a once in a generational-type talent while Brissett struggled mightily with his consistency.

In 2020, the Colts have fixed their quarterback issues, signing ex-Charger Philip Rivers to lead the team in 2020 and beyond. Rivers is a future hall-of-fame player who can make all the throws necessary for the Colts to compete at the highest level. What does this mean for Hilton? It means that he will see a ton of targets as the team’s WR1 from a quarterback who knows how to hit him in stride and give him the greatest opportunity to rack up the yards after the catch.

Some naysayers will point to the Colts’ drafting of Parris Campbell and Michael Pittman in the second round of the last two drafts as a reason to not draft Hilton. This might prove to be a very costly fantasy error. Campbell was injured for his rookie campaign, and Pittman has not had an opportunity to work out with the team due to the pandemic. This should leave Hilton as the clear recipient of the target share and as someone who fantasy players can draft to help them win a fantasy championship.

New on SI: NFL Kickers Have Historically Bad Week With Record-Tying 12 Missed PATs

It's been a historically bad week for NFL kickers, with 12 missed PATs through the conclusion of Sunday's evening games. View the original article to see embedded media. Kickers in many ways have a thankless job. Make a kick, and often times nobody really cares. Miss one? Well, people won't stop bringing it up. The 2021 season has already established a new high-water mark in kicking with Ravens kicker Justin Tucker's NFL record-setting 66-yard field goal to beat the Lions in Week 3. Two weeks later, though, we might have established a new low point. Prior to kickoff on Sunday Night Football  between the Bills and Chiefs, kickers had missed a whopping 12 extra points in Week 5. That ties the league's Super Bowl era record set in Week 11 during the 2016 season, the year after the NFL moved PAT's back to the 15-yard line. Rams kicker Matt Gay got the train rolling on Thursday when he missed his first PAT attempt of the game in the third quarter. That set a ...

New on SI: Brett Favre on Aaron Rodgers' Future in Green Bay: 'I Think That Aaron Will Finish Somewhere Else'

Former Packers great Brett Favre said Aaron Rodgers was surprised by Green Bay's decision to draft Jordan Love. Former Packers legend Brett Favre believes that star quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't finish his career in Green Bay. "I think he will play somewhere else," the three-time MVP said Wednesday on the Rich Eisen Show. Favre said he was "very surprised" about the Packers' decision to select Utah State QB Jordan Love No. 26 overall in the 2020 NFL draft last Thursday, noting that the team's decision not to draft "any weapons that can help immediately" sends a "disrespect message" to the team's current quarterback. "He has every right to feel disrespected, if he is," Favre said of Rodgers. The former Packers great said he had talked recently with Rodgers.  "Let's just say [Rodgers is] surprised that they went in that direction," Favre explained. "It's not his job to mentor Jordan Lo...
