WR T.Y. Hilton vs. Texans’ secondary

There is still a good chance that T.Y. Hilton doesn’t play on Thursday night because of his lingering calf injury. He’s currently listed as questionable on the injury report. But with the extensive history between both sides, there is no way I could ignore the most important matchup of Colts vs. Texans.

If Hilton plays in the latest installment between these divisional rivals, you better believe the Texans will do everything possible to stop him down. Since last season alone, the man who’s better known as “Ghost” has produced 24 catches and 473 receiving yards against the Texans and does in various ways. Big plays. Small plays. Outside. In the slot.

If No. 13 steps on the field on Thursday night, the Colts will utilize him in every way possible and the Texans have to be prepared for such a sight.
