Right Wide Receiver: T.Y. Hilton, Phillip Dorsett

The diminutive, yet incredibly dangerous T.Y. Hilton remains the go-to receiver for Luck and the Colts offense. Hilton is coming off back-to-back Pro Bowl appearances and has eclipsed 1,000 receiving yards over the past 3 consecutive seasons.

Hilton’s bread and butter, deep receiving game took a hit last season in Luck’s absence, but one of the NFL’s best quarterback to wide receiver combinations should pick up right where they left off this upcoming season. After all, there’s no question that Hilton remains one of the league’s best deep threats.

Behind Hilton is another blazing fast wideout, Phillip Dorsett, who also has speed to burn. Last season’s 1st round pick had a somewhat disappointing rookie season, finishing with just 18 receptions for 225 receiving yards and a touchdown–having missed 5 games with a fractured ankle.

However, Dorsett has the rare speed to become a difference-maker for the Colts offense with his special ability to blow the top off of opposing secondaries. It’s just whether the young and talented wideout can consistently put his tools together on the field this season.
