Pascal is expected to step in as the Colts' No. 1 wideout Sunday in Pittsburgh after coach Frank Reich said T.Y. Hilton (calf) could be sidelined for three weeks, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Over the six games he's played this season, Hilton averaged 5.3 receptions, 60 yards and 7.6 targets while scoring five times. Pascal shouldn't be expected to match that volume or efficiency, but he'll nonetheless be in store for more consistent involvement in the passing game as the Colts look to replace their top option. Rather than counting on Pascal to act as a one-for-one replacement for Hilton, the Colts likely will turn to multiple pass catchers to step up their production in the next few weeks. Along with Pascal, young receivers Deon Cain and Parris Campbell are expected to benefit from mild bumps in playing time and targets while Hilton is sidelined.

Pascal had just one reception for six yards on two targets in Sunday's win over Denver. He also had two kickoff returns for 76 yards, including a 47-yard return.

EDGE Analysis

After a career-best game the prior week where he had 106 yards receiving and two touchdowns, Pascal didn't have much impact other than special teams. Pascal was a starting receiver in a three-wideout set with T.Y. Hilton and Chester Rogers and played the second most snaps to Hilton (59 snaps to Hilton's 60 snaps). However, like earlier in the season, that high snap count hasn't always translated into many targets.

Pascal caught six of seven targets for 106 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Texans.

EDGE Analysis

Pascal scored his second touchdown of the season from 11 yards out in the first quarter, then added a three-yard score in the third to surpass his total from last season. The 24-year-old wide receiver has shown flashes of ability, but he's been unable to carve out a consistent week-to-week role in a run-heavy offense that also has T.Y. Hilton as the clear alpha dog in the receiving corps.

Pascal had one reception for eight yards and one carry for 12 yards in Sunday's win at Kansas City.

EDGE Analysis

The Colts had just one reception among receivers other than T.Y. Hilton as Pascal's output was limited by a run-heavy game plan. Pacal got the start opposite Hilton and had the most snaps (42) among the non-Hilton receivers. However, Pascal, Chester Rogers (40) and Deon Cain (42) all had similar playing time. None of the receivers other than Hilton look like viable options in most formats given how the Colts spread out the few non-Hilton receiver targets.

Pascal caught four of seven targets for 72 yards during Sunday's 31-24 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Getting more exposure with the absence of T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps), Pascal put up double his previous reception total Sunday, including a diving 23-yard catch in traffic in the fourth quarter. He hadn't been much of a factor in the passing game early on in the season, but now has 125 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks. His value is obviously dependent on Hilton's status next week versus the Chiefs.

Pascal could be the top wide receiver on the depth chart Sunday with T.Y. Hilton (quad) listed as doubtful on the official injury report for Sunday's game against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Pascal has started the last two games after Devin Funchess (collarbone) went on injured reserve, but that hasn't translated to many targets as he has just two receptions (one for a touchdown). It may be Deon Cain and Parris Campbell who become the primary receivers Sunday even if Pascal starts again, though the Colts have spread the ball around evenly after Hilton.

Pascal had two receptions on three targets for 53 yards, including an 18-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

The touchdown catch was Pascal's first reception of the season. Pascal continues to get the start as the No. 2 receiver opposite T.Y. Hilton, but this was the first time he was a factor in the passing game. The Colts split playing time pretty evenly between the receiver group after Hilton as Pascal had 30 snaps on offense, Paris Campbell had 30, Deon Cain had 37 and Chester Rogers had 27. There's not a lot of reason to think Pascal will emerge from the pack as a fantasy impact player despite his showing Sunday, as he's been more valued for his blocking and special teams play.

Pascal played 23 snaps on offense without a target during Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Pascal also played 13 snaps on special teams. While Pascal wasn't targeted during the Week 1 loss, it's possible that he could see an increased role in Indianapolis' offense going forward with Devin Funchess (shoulder) having suffered a broken collarbone. In any case, he remains locked in as the Colts' punt returner.

Pascal made Indy's 53-man roster, 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Pascal will likely serve as the team's kick returner and provides veteran depth at wide receiver. He's not likely to be on the field for many plays on offense, however.

Pascal did not have a reception in Thursday's preseason game, but had two kick returns for 43 yards. He played 11 snaps on offense and seven on special teams.

EDGE Analysis

Pascal isn't likely to be a starter on offense, but it looks like he could win the kick return job and be an asset on special teams. He could win the No. 5 WR role as a result.
