Colts wide receiver (WR) Zach Pascal is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup to target as a free agent addition for Week 7 of the 2020 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Pascal has had an interesting season so far. He has had four games with four or fewer targets, but he has also had a two with seven or more. One of those better performances was last week when he caught four of seven targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. With another quality game with eight targets in Week 4, Pascal is capable of seeing enough volume to be productive.
The Colts have quite a few receivers dealing with injuries, including Michael Pittman Jr. and Parris Campbell. In their absence, quarterback Philip Rivers has not settled on a primary option. Pascal has seen 17 targets in the last three weeks, as compared to T.Y. Hilton's 20 and Marcus Johnson's 12. This suggests that Pascal is in the mix each week to be the top wideout for the team, which is some solid value sitting on the waiver wire.
Surprisingly, Pascal has seen eight red-zone targets this year. Only one wideout has more, so he could have some significant upside if he starts converting those targets into touchdowns more frequently.
Pascal is a solid option if you are in need of some receiver depth. His floor is quite low, but there are enough intriguing aspects about him to make him worth your time. Don't count on him to be much more than a WR5, but there are a lot of worse options out there. He will have his share of solid performances, so consider him a matchup-dependent play going forward for deeper leagues. He will get one such good matchup in Week 8 against Detroit, so keep him in mind if you're looking to add a receiver.
