I think stick with Ty...he's still #1. Will is clear#2 unless injury to D. Will has boom/bust potential whereas Ty as a clear higher floor if only a marginal ceiling disparity.
My problem with TY is that he is boom or bust...By then end of the year he will have more points than Fuller, but Fuller looks like he is going to get 4 targets at 20+ yards downfield every game and is the ONLY other guy to catch passes in that offense. TY is going to have 180 and 2TD but he is going to give you 3 games of 3 for 38 in between.
All that said, I think from draft position and name recognition TY should get you more than just Fuller coming back. Also, Indy had a tough match up last week and TY is a bit banged up, so might be too soon to draw any definitive conclusions.

T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Hilton was a trendy breakout pick this offseason after nearly accruing WR1 numbers with Matt Hasselbeck in 2015. That buzz has now simmered and it’s a perfect time for you to pounce on him for multiple reasons. The first and most important reason is that Hilton has knocked out two of his toughest individual matchups of the 2016 season. In Week 1, he did battle with Lions lockdown cornerback Darius Slay for most of the afternoon. In Week 2, he saw a deadly Denver combination of Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr.
Despite matching up against these titans of the position, Hilton has still tallied 120 yards on 10 receptions. Those are some impressive numbers considering the trio of cornerbacks he has faced. The Colts’ defense has forced the offense to play with a faster pace and open up the passing game.
Hilton has seen the sixth-most targets at WR (20) and he could become a target hog going forward if things break a certain way. Donte Moncrief — who was expected to compete with him to lead the Colts in targets — injured his shoulder in Week 2. His status is uncertain, but beat reporters have speculated that he will miss multiple games. Although the Colts have talented second-year receiver Phillip Dorsett behind Hilton, he doesn’t appear to have the same kind of rapport with Luck that Hilton has developed. Through two games, Hilton has been on the field for just 18 more snaps than Dorsett but has seen 11 more targets.
The Colts have the Chargers, Jaguars, Bears and Titans in four of their next five games — these are all pass defenses that we could be talking about in the bottom five at the end of the 2016 season. Although the Chargers have emerging shutdown cornerback Jason Verrett, Mike Clay explained why Hilton is likely to mostly avoid him this week.
