The Indianapolis Colts’ chances of making the playoffs are slim-to-none, so with three games left in the season, it’s time to start evaluating this roster for what should be one of the most important offseasons in the team’s history.
With the Colts having really nothing to play for these final three games, it gives the Colts a chance to play young guys or possible diamond-in-the-rough type of players that could really stand out these last three games. Think of the rest of the season as a glorified preseason game that counts.
There are a few players that the Colts front office and Colts fans should watch out for these final three games, because if they play well, they could end up starting, or competing for a starting position next season.
Here are a few players to watch as the Colts’ 2019 season comes to an end:
WR Zach Pascal
This is a guy I have been hyping up since the middle of the season and over the past two weeks, he has turned in two solid performances.
Pascal the past two games has put up 12 catches, 183 receiving yards, and one touchdown. Over the season and a reminder, Pascal didn’t catch a pass until week 3, he leads all Colts receivers in catches, yards and touchdowns.
Without T.Y. Hilton, Chester Rogers and Parris Campbell for the rest of the year, Pascal should be in line to be the number one receiver the rest of the way. Let’s see if he can take advantage of the opportunity given to him.
