Fantasy Preview: Thursday Night Football

The views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.

WR Cecil Shorts, Jaguars

Last Week: 56 receiving yards

Shorts’ production dropped drastically this past week. After having back-to-back 100-yard games, Shorts had 56 yards and was targeted less than both Blackmon and Robinson, who combined for 18 targets in Week 9. The last time Shorts faced the Colts was in Week 3 when he had an 80-yard touchdown reception and his longest play of his career.  With much emphasis on other Jaguars offensive weapons, the Jacksonville wideout has an opportunity to succeed yet again and add to his team-high 456 yards receiving.

WR T.Y. Hilton, Colts

Last Week: 102 receiving yards, TD

Both T.Y. Hilton and Donnie Avery have been putting up numbers every other week it seems.  If one doesn’t have a big game, the other one usually makes up for it.  With the “throw to the open man” style of play in this new Indianapolis offense (that has Andrew Luck being the talk of the league), Hilton should be able to have a productive game against the 25th ranked pass defense as Avery is still listed as a game-time decision.
