With Hilton returning to practice this week — but not yet knowing if he'll be able to play — it leaves the receiver corps' fantasy prospects up in the air. Zach Pascal is the clear leader when Hilton is out, compiling two 100-yard games this year, and Marcus Johnson has been outstanding since rejoining the team recently with his 100-yard game last week. Since the Colts began pushing the ball downfield more in the passing game, Pascal and Johnson have been big beneficiaries. Pascal has chunk plays of 19, 19, 20, 26 and 37 in the last two weeks, and Johnson has plays of 18, 19, 46 and 50. The pair has combined to catch 19-of-32 targets for 343 yards (18.1 avg.), two touchdowns and one two-point conversion in that time. Hilton becomes the clear top target if he gets back on the field, however.
Regardless of whether or not Hilton is able to play, this is a great matchup for the Colts' receivers as a group. Six opposing receivers have had 100-yard games against the Saints this season, with wide receivers scoring 15 touchdowns against them throughout.
