The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly keeping WR T.Y. Hilton around, agreeing with the star receiver on a one-year deal, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

The 31-year-old Hilton has spent his entire career with the Colts, including making four straight Pro Bowls in 2014-2017. He has been held to 501 and 762 yards the last two years since Andrew Luck’s retirement. He’ll be back with the Colts alongside fellow receivers Michael Pittman and Parris Campbell.
Colts retain star WR T.Y. Hilton
Fantasy slant: Hilton started off the 2020 season looking like he might be done, entering Week 12 with a 29-327-0 line on the season and sitting as the PPR WR84. But then he turned it on down the stretch, and in Weeks 12-17, Hilton's line jumped to 27-435-5 and was WR8 over those six weeks. With Pittman, Campbell and Zach Pascal, the Colts' receiver room is crowded with a bunch of low-ceiling options. Pittman is likely to be the top dog in the pecking order to start the season, but there's no surefire fantasy starter in Indianapolis. What this re-signing does do, though, is give new starting QB Carson Wentz a strong stable of pass catchers to help rebuild his value. — Daniel Kelley
