Hilton played in three regular-season and two postseason games for Dallas in 2022, catching 10 of 15 targets for 159 yards.

EDGE Analysis

The long-time Colt wound up being Plan B for the Cowboys after they determined Odell Beckham (knee) wasn't going to be able to help them for the stretch run, and Hilton made an immediate impact in his Week 16 debut when he hauled in a 52-yard catch on his only target from Dak Prescott. Hilton was purely a depth option for the team, though, and the 33-year-old's days of being an elite downfield threat are long behind him. It's not yet clear if Dallas has any interest in bringing him back in 2023, or if he'll try to catch on with another club this offseason.

Hilton caught two of four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's loss to the Commanders.

EDGE Analysis

The entire Dallas offense went into the tank in the final game of the regular season, and Hilton's two grabs were second among Dallas wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb's five. The long-time Colt posted a 7-121-0 line on 10 targets over three games with the Cowboys, but Hilton's not likely to see a significant increase in his role in the wild-card round against the Buccaneers.

Hilton caught his only target for 52 yards in Saturday's win over the Eagles.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran wideout's first look from Dak Prescott early in the second quarter resulted in an illegal contact penalty on Darius Slay to convert a fourth-and-8 and help lead the Cowboys to their second touchdown of the game, but Hilton's first official target from his new QB produced one of the highlights of the day. On a third-and-30 from the Dallas 29-yard line midway through the fourth quarter, Prescott heaved the ball deep down the sideline and watched Hilton run under it to flip the field, setting up the team's final TD of the afternoon. CeeDee Lamb is the unquestioned top option in the Cowboys passing game, but Hilton's immediate impact in his first game with the team could result in bigger volume over the final two weeks of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Hilton is listed as active Saturday versus the Eagles, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Cowboys signed Hilton on Monday, Dec. 12, but he was a healthy scratch Week 15 at Jacksonville, meaning he'll be making his debut with the team Saturday. Both James Washington and rookie Jalen Tolbert are inactive Week 16, which leaves CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown, Hilton and returner KaVontae Turpin as Dallas' available wide receivers.

Hilton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilton signed with the Cowboys on Monday but won't suit up for Week 15 with only one week of practice under his belt. The 33-year-old had 23 receptions for 331 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games for the Colts last season, and he was a free agent for the first 14 weeks of 2022 before he landed with Dallas.

Dallas signed Hilton to a one-year contract Monday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilton caught 23 of 37 targets for 331 yards and three scores across 10 appearances with the Colts last year, but he remained a free agent throughout the offseason and the majority of the 2022 campaign before landing a deal with the Cowboys. The veteran wideout has five 1,000-yard seasons in his 10-year career, but his last came in 2018. Regardless, he joins an already talented group and should provide much-needed depth behind CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Noah Brown and James Washington, the latter of whom made his season debut Week 14 following a prolonged recovery from a foot injury.

The Colts have continued to have a dialogue with Hilton and it's a possibility the team could still sign him, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Despite general manager Chris Ballard being open to Hilton returning, it seems unlikely given that he's not under contract at the start of training camp. It seems more likely that Hilton will retire. Even if he does re-sign with the Colts, he'd likely have a diminished role as veteran insurance. Hilton had just 331 yards receiving and three TDs in 10 games last season.

Hilton remains a free agent, but the Colts haven't closed the door on re-signing him, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old wideout reportedly wants to play another season, and the only team he's ever played for still has a need at his position. Of course, part of the reason the Colts have a need at wide receiver is that they didn't get much from Hilton last year -- 331 yards and three TDs in 10 games. New QB Matt Ryan could use some more weapons alongside third-year wideout Michael Pittman.

Colts general manager Chris Ballard said Tuesday that Hilton still wants to play in the NFL, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hilton dealt with numerous injuries during the 2021 campaign, including a neck issue that required surgery at beginning of the season. The 32-year-old wideout said after the devastating Week 18 loss to the Jaguars that he'd take time to ponder his future and that retirement was a possibility. However, based on Ballard's comments, it appears Hilton may be returning to the Colts for at least one more season. With the emergence of Michael Pittman, added with Carson Wentz's struggles, Hilton's fantasy potential took a big hit during his 10th season in the NFL. The veteran appeared in 10 contests last year and finished with 23 receptions for 331 yards and three touchdowns -- all career lows.

Hilton recorded two receptions on five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-11 loss to the Jaguars.

EDGE Analysis

Hilton matched his season high of five targets, notching that mark for the fifth time. Though he managed an explosive 33-yard gain in the first quarter, he failed to top 40 receiving yards for the seventh time in 10 games on the campaign. With the Colts season now over and his performance clearly in decline, Hilton said after the game that he will take time to ponder his future with retirement being a possibility, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
