Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) is officially active for Week 18 versus the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Nevertheless, he has caught just four passes for 19 yards this season and remains off the fantasy radar. Look for rookie Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch to operate as the Cardinals' top wide receivers while tight end Trey McBride and running back James Conner also handle key pass-catching roles.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) logged another limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. The 29-year-old has merely filled a depth role this season, catching four of 15 targets for 19 yards. He played 22 percent of offensive snaps last week with Marquise Brown (heel) on injured reserve but remains off the fantasy radar for Sunday's regular-season finale.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) was downgraded to a limited practice participant on Thursday. Pascal has popped on Arizona's injury report with a hamstring issue after practicing fully on Wednesday, and it's unclear if it's a re-aggravation of the same problem that caused him to miss the Week 11 game against the Houston Texans, which was a strained hamstring. Either way, Pascal's presence on the field should not impact fantasy football in any capacity. The 29-year-old slot specialist has only corralled four of his 15 targets for 19 scoreless yards in 13 appearances during his first year in the desert. If Pascal cannot get the green light to play in Week 18's regular-season finale versus the Seattle Seahawks, Trey McBride, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch would be solidified as quarterback Kyler Murray's top targets.
Emari Demercado, Zach Pascal Officially Active For Week 12
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) are active for Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Both players had been listed as questionable and will ultimately return following their respective one-week absences. At the wide receiver position, Michael Wilson (shoulder) is inactive, leaving Pascal as the Cardinals' No. 3 wide receiver behind Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore. Meanwhile, Demercado projects to operate as James Conner's backup out of the backfield. Neither Pascal nor Demercado belong in fantasy lineups this week.
Emari Demercado, Zach Pascal Questionable To Play In Week 12
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) remained limited for a third consecutive practice on Friday. They are officially listed as questionable for Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Neither player was able to suit up last weekend, but they're at least pushing to play in a key divisional battle. At the wide receiver position, Michael Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out while Marquise Brown (heel) is questionable after missing two practices. Therefore, having Pascal active would be huge for this Arizona squad looking to remain productive on offense. Fantasy managers should check back for confirmation on the Cardinals' injury report 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday.
Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) remained limited for the second consecutive practice on Thursday. Both players sat out Week 11 but are pushing to return this week versus the Los Angeles Rams. With that said, neither Demercado nor Pascal are on the fantasy radar at the moment. They remain buried on the depth chart at their respective positions and would only emerge as viable fantasy options if injuries occur ahead of them.
Emari Demercado, Zach Pascal Ruled Out For Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 11 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Demercardo was trending in the right direction with two limited practices this week before picking up a DNP, so now he'll miss his third straight game. The undrafted 24-year-old was already looking at a backup role in Arizona's backfield with James Conner (knee) returning from Injured Reserve last week. Demercado is merely a handcuff for those that have Conner rostered in deeper leagues. Keaontay Ingram and the recently acquired Michael Carter will be change-of-pace options behind Conner this Sunday.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (neck) is officially inactive for Week 7 versus the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable after failing to practice all week long. Pascal has been operating as a depth option for Arizona this year, so his absence will have minimal fantasy football implications.
Zach Pascal Listed As Questionable For Week 7 Against Seattle
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (neck) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Pascal popped up on the injury report on Wednesday with a neck issue and is now questionable for Week 7. He only has eight targets on the year, which he has turned into four catches for 19 scoreless yards so his absence wouldn't greatly affect the Cardinals' game plan on Sunday. If he is unable to suit up, however, it would theoretically open up more snaps for rookie wideout Michael Wilson, who has 18 catches (22 targets), 317 yards, and two scores on the season. Wilson is a low-end WR3 in the Cards' low-volume passing attack.
The Arizona Cardinals agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Zach Pascal on an undisclosed two-year deal on Monday, according to sources. Pascal and new Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon were together with the Indianapolis Colts and Philadelphia Eagles, so Gannon knows that Pascal is a well-rounded receiver. The 28-year-old pass-catcher had a career-low 15 receptions on 19 targets for only 150 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (two starts) in his lone season with Philly in 2022. There's a good chance the Cardinals look to trade DeAndre Hopkins this offseason, but Arizona also has Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch at the position, so Pascal will be battling for playing time either way in 2023.
