After three consecutive useless weeks, Zach Pascal returned to fantasy glory by posting career-highs in receptions (seven) and receiving yardage (109). With TY Hilton still nowhere to be found, Eric Ebron placed on injured reserve, Marlon Mack still a week or two away from returning to action, and Chester Rodgers suffering an early knee injury, Jacoby Brissett leaned on Pascal to move the chains through the air. Available in 83 percent of Yahoo leagues, Pascal is a useful stash with starting potential moving forward.
Hilton practiced in a limited fashion throughout last week, but suffered a set back to his never healing calf injury. As long as Hilton and the rest of the outside options who have a pulse are sidelined, Pascal will be the clear target hog in the Colts offense.
The Colts have a juicy schedule set up for the fantasy playoffs, with the Bucs, Saints, and Panthers ahead. Even though the team tends to be leaning on the ground game right now, it’s tough to pass up on the clear leader of the Colts’ target totem pole. Add Pascal to the end of your bench and you could have a legit Flex option for the final few weeks with a bunch of soft secondaries on the schedule.
