ZACH PASCAL NEWS

Set to play Sunday Pascal (knee/foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Titans, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact The Colts listed Pascal as a non-participant on their first two practice reports of the week before he was able to get back on the field Friday as a limited participant. The Indianapolis coaching and training staffs were apparently satisfied with how Pascal looked during that session, so he should be on track to fill his normal starting role in the team's receiving corps. Pascal has been consistent -- if unspectacular -- over the past five games, finishing with between three and five receptions and 33 and 54 receiving yards in each contest.

Questionable for Week 12 Pascal (knee/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Impact Pascal has carved out a modest degree of fantasy utility this season, while scoring two TDs and averaging 3.1 catches and 38.4 receiving yards through 10 games. Those in deeper formats considering the wideout in Week 12 lineups will have the benefit of knowing his status prior to the first wave of games this Sunday, with the Colts kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET.

Listed as DNP again Pascal (knee/foot) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

Impact Pascal didn't practice Wednesday, so what he does Friday will be crucial with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Titans. Ten games into the 2020 season, Pascal has carved out a modest degree of fantasy utility, while scoring two TDs and averaging 3.1 catches and 38.4 receiving yards per game.

Totals 53 receiving yards Pascal caught all three of his targets for 53 yards during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Packers.

Impact The three receptions actually tied-second on the team, with quarterback Philip Rivers completing passes to 11 different receivers during the contest. Pascal's 54 receiving yards also ranked second on the team, trailing only Michael Pittman. Pascal is averaging 3.8 catches for 48 yards over the past five games, but his fantasy value is limited with only one touchdown during that stretch.

Narrowly misses TD in win Pascal brought in four of five targets for 33 yards in the Colts' 34-17 win over the Titans on Thursday night.

Impact Pascal would have had a much more fruitful fantasy night had it not been for the fact he came up about half a yard short of the goal line on a third-quarter catch, a play that was originally ruled a touchdown before being reversed on replay. The third-year pro did hit the four-reception mark for the third time in the last four games, but his yardage total was his lowest since Week 5 against the Browns. With rookie Michael Pittman (7-101 on Thursday) appearing to expand his profile in the air attack by the week, Pascal may be even more challenged to produce noteworthy fantasy numbers moving forward.

NOVEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Makes five catches in loss Pascal secured five of six targets for 55 yards in the Colts' 24-10 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.

Impact With T.Y. Hilton (groin) out of action and Jack Doyle (concussion) exiting the game in the first quarter, Pascal led the Colts in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards by one to Michael Pittman. Pascal remains a solid possession option, but he lacks the explosiveness to offer next-level fantasy upside and therefore isn't a reliable candidate to take over the deep routes Hilton often runs. Pascal will look to continue making solid contributions in a Week 10 Thursday night battle against the Titans.

NOVEMBER 8, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Catches three of six targets Pascal caught three of six targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 41-21 win over the Lions.

Impact Pascal led the team in targets while tying for the lead in receptions and finishing second in yardage. He recorded a long gain of 20 yards, which tied his third-longest of the season, and converted first downs on his other two receptions as well. T.Y. Hilton (groin) left the game with an injury, which in theory created more opportunities for Pascal, but he finished with modest numbers nonetheless. Whether Hilton plays or not next Sunday against the Ravens, Pascal will face a tough matchup and probably doesn't carry much fantasy upside given the nature of the Indianapolis offense.

Catches TD in comeback win Pascal had four receptions for 54 yards on seven targets, including a 17-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over the Bengals.

Impact Pascal has been working as the No. 2 receiver with injuries to Parris Campbell (knee) and Michael Pittman (leg), but he had just two targets last week amid Philip Rivers' struggles. With the Colts falling behind early Sunday, the Colts turned to the passing game with Rivers showing a significant improvement (105.4 passer rating). Pascal isn't in a high volume passing offense, so he may not be a steady source of production unless the Colts are forced to catch up like Sunday.

Hauls in two passes during loss Pascal corralled both of his targets for 15 receiving yards during Sunday's 32-23 loss to the Browns.

Impact The 25-year-old paced Indianapolis with 58 receiving yards during a 19-11 win over the Bears in Week 4, but he established a new season low in yards Sunday despite playing 91 percent of the offensive snaps. Pascal proved during 2019 that he is capable of breaking big plays, as evidenced by his five touchdowns and 14.8 yards-per-catch average. Thus far in 2020, however, he's only once had more than four targets in a game, scoring one total TD.

Leads team in receiving yards Pascal recorded three receptions on eight targets for 58 yards in Week 4 against the Bears.

Impact Pascal worked as the Colts' deep threat -- he averaged 19.3 yards per reception -- but also led the team with eight targets. He accounted for Indy's longest gain of the day on a 36-yard reception during their first drive of the contest, helping set up a touchdown to cap the possession. With Parris Campbell (knee) and Michael Pittman (leg) both out, Pascal should continue to see plenty of targets as the team's number two receiver behind T.Y. Hilton. Pascal will have an exploitable matchup in Week 5 against a leaky Browns secondary.

Impact Pascal will become the clear No. 2 receiver next to T.Y. Hilton with Daurice Fountain, Ashton Dulin and rookie Dezmon Patmon candidates to fill the No. 3 spot. It sounds like Pittman and Campbell, who was hurt Week 2, will miss significant time.

Impact Since he already started in the Colts' first two games and handled snap shares north of 60 percent in both contests, Pascal isn't expected to see a dramatic increase in playing time sans Campbell, but he could stand to benefit from a potential role change. Though he scored a touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Vikings, Pascal hasn't been a major priority in the passing game for Philip Rivers thus far while working mostly as an outside receiver, garnering seven total targets. A move inside could allow Pascal to capture more looks; Rivers hasn't thrown downfield often this season, with his average depth of target (aDOT) of 7.6 yards ranking 12th-lowest among starting quarterbacks. Pascal will benefit from a favorable matchup Week 3 against a penetrable Jets defense that has thus far allowed opposing quarterbacks to complete 75.3 percent of passes for 7.0 yards per attempt.

Could be set for larger role Pascal had three receptions for 19 yards, including a two-yard touchdown, on four targets in Sunday's 28-11 win over the Vikings

Impact Pascal played on 59 of the offense's 73 snaps as he was pressed into a larger role after Parris Campbell was hurt. With Campbell set to miss significant time with a knee injury, Pascal and Micheal Pittman will serve as the No. 2 and 3 receivers with an uncertain mix who will stay on the field in two-receiver sets.

Ready to go Sunday Pascal (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Pascal steadily increased his practice activity throughout the week, advancing from no participation to full participation between Wednesday and Friday. Though Michael Pittman (toe) is active after entering the weekend listed as questionable, Pascal should still take on a healthy snap count while being locked into a regular role in three-wideout formations alongside T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell.

Expected to play Sunday Pascal (ankle) is expected to play Sunday against the Vikings, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The 25-year-old received the questionable tag despite practicing as a full participant Friday, so it's not a major surprise he's expected to suit up Sunday. Pascal worked as the Colts' No. 3 wideout Week 1 and caught two of three targets for 18 yards, and he should operate in a similar role this week with Michael Pittman (toe) unlikely to suit up.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 'questionable' tag Pascal (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest versus the Vikings.

Impact Pascal increased his activity level in each practice this week, going from none Wednesday to all of the reps Friday. Still, the Colts have applied a 'questionable' designation to the wide receiver, who may be the Colts' unquestioned No. 3 at the position if he plays and rookie Michael Pittman (toe) is inactive. During a Week 1 visit to Jacksonville, Pascal earned 62 percent of the offensive snaps but managed just two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to limited practice Pascal (ankle) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Impact Pascal didn't practice Wednesday, so his return to the field Thursday bodes well for his Week 2 status. Look for Pascal, who started along with T.Y. Hilton and Parris Campbell and logged 46 (of a possible 74) snaps on offense in this past weekend's loss to the Jaguars, to either approach Sunday's game against the Vikings listed as questionable, or free from an injury designation altogether.
