The Facts:
Hilton entered training camp in a competition with free-agent addition Darrius Heyward-Bey to become the No. 2 receiver and still is likely to serve as the team’s primary punt returner. So far, new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton has used Hilton all over the field. He’s lined up on the outside to the left and the right, and he’ll also see time in the slot. No matter where he plays, or what unit he’s running with, he’s been consistently turning heads. “That guy’s a freak,” HC Chuck Pagano said. “I’d hate to be the guy on the opposite side of the ball. I know our defensive guys make sure they know where he’s at all the time. He just keeps growing and growing and growing.”

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hilton went deep often in his rookie season. He averaged a healthy 17.2 yards per reception and led the team with seven touchdowns. He was the team’s most productive receiver late in the season and finished with 50 catches for 861 yards overall. In their second year together, Andrew Luck and Hilton seem to be on the same page. And that’s no accident. They spent time last month working alongside Reggie Wayne in south Florida trying to make certain their encore performance is even better than their debut. ... Already a popular fantasy prospect, the glowing initial reports and Pagano's comments will only add to that.
