Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts: 3 Players to watch in Week 15
3. Ryan Grant
A wide receiver of the Indianapolis Colts is a player to watch because he won’t be getting the attention that the Dallas Cowboys will be giving to T.Y. Hilton in this game, as the Cowboys can’t let the combination of Andrew Luck to Hilton defeat them, but they must force Grant and the rest of the Colts to gain the win.

Grant has 31 receptions this season for 309 yards and one touchdown. Lately, Grant hasn’t played that well in terms of making receptions as he’s not had more than two receptions in a game since Oct. 4 when he had six receptions for 58 yards.
It isn’t being said here that Grant will take over this game, but he’s worth keeping an eye on for the fact at times he has been targeted by Luck many times in a game, including five instances this season where he had five or more targets in a game.
The Cowboys defense is still suspect at times as well, allowing this game to be a chance to get his early-season momentum back on his side and even the possibility of having his second touchdown of the season.
All that is being said is the Cowboys must put the best possible players in the direction of Hilton and take their chances with Grant forcing the issue and making him be the one who has to step up and defeat them this Sunday.
