It's been a disappointing first six games from a production standpoint for Hilton, but he still continues to play a major role within the Colts' offense, and still demands a ton of attention from opposing defenses. He's been targeted with 37 passes in all, logging 20 receptions for 242 yards (12.1 avg.), but is yet to get into the end zone.
Hilton is projected as the No. 51 fantasy wide receiver for the remainder of the season.
Pascal, meanwhile, is projected at the 69th wide receiver for the rest of the year. He has 28 total targets with 16 receptions for 198 yards and two touchdowns on the year, both of which coming in the red zone; he finished as the No. 18 receiver in last Sunday's win over the Bengals, scoring 13 points in all with his four receptions, 54 yards and one touchdown.
Names to consider: There are a few names to consider at the wide receiver position moving forward for the Colts. Marcus Johnson has been the team's top big-play receiver the past few weeks, and has nine receptions for 188 yards (20.9 avg.) so far. Rookie Michael Pittman Jr., who underwent surgery to correct a minor lower leg issue a few weeks back, could return from IR as soon as next Sunday's Week 8 contest against the Detroit Lions, and was beginning to build a role as a reliable third-down target for quarterback Philip Rivers. The wild card is speedy wide receiver Parris Campbell, who went on IR after suffering a knee injury Week 2 against the Minnesota Vikings; Campbell has since had surgery, but hasn't yet been ruled out for the rest of the season. If he's somehow able to return later in the year, then he could continue playing a major role as Indy's top slot receiver.
