T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts

FanDuel Price: $7,200

DraftKings Price: $6,700

Fantasy owners of T.Y. Hilton are certainly thrilled to have Andrew Luck back under center. In Luck's first game back after missing all of 2017, he targeted Hilton on 11 throws, connecting 5 times for 46 yards. While the volume is encouraging, the inefficiency is likely to continue, at least for another week.

Luck had just a 5.7-yard average depth of target (aDOT) in Week 1, further illuminating the lingering weakness in his previously injured shoulder after a dink-and-dump preseason. For a speedster like Hilton, check downs just aren't going to get it done for fantasy purposes. Until Luck shows that he is willing to push the ball downfield, Hilton is a guy who should struggle given his reliance on splash plays.

Hilton should see Josh Norman a good bit this week, as he has run 42% of his last 565 routes on the left side of the formation, which is where Norman exclusively lines up at left cornerback. Norman was Pro Football Focus' 36th-ranked cornerback a year ago, placing him in the "good" category among all qualified candidates. While he isn't quite the shutdown corner he was in his prime, he's still "good" enough to give Hilton headaches this week.

With Hilton's drastic home/road splits -- he averages 12.46 FanDuel points at home versus 10.98 FanDuel points in the road in his career -- and a tough matchup to boot, he's an easy avoid in Week 2.
