NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Indianapolis Colts re-signed wide receiver Ashton Dulin to a two-year, deal worth up to $8.5 million on Monday, according to a source. Dulin missed all of the 2023 campaign due to a torn ACL in his knee but returned in 2024 to play in 15 games (two starts) in his sixth year in Indy. The 27-year-old pass-catcher hauled in only two of eight targets in 15 games played for 67 yards and one touchdown. He has never really been a big factor on offense for the Colts since he debuted in the NFL in 2019. Dulin's best season was in 2022, when he had a 15-207-1 line on 22 targets over 12 games played (two starts). He won't suddenly become a big factor on offense in 2025 but should remain a key special-teams player for the Colts. Dulin has 35 career catches on 60 targets for 517 yards and four touchdowns in his 70 games (five starts).
Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) and wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) are both active on Sunday and will suit up against the division-rival Tennessee Titans in Week 16. Neither player is worth attention in fantasy in starting lineups, though. Alie-Cox hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2020. The 31-year-old veteran tight end is used mostly as a blocker for the Colts, although he'll occasionally see some red-zone looks. He cannot be trusted in fantasy with only 11 catches for 132 yards and one touchdown in 14 games in 2024. Dulin could actually see more of the field on Sunday with Alec Pierce out with a concussion, but he's still a long shot to stand out in the box score at the end of the day. The 27-year-old pass-catcher will still likely struggle for targets. He hasn't caught a pass since Week 2.
Mo Alie-Cox, Ashton Dulin Questionable To Face Titans
Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) and wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) are both considered questionable to play on Sunday in Week 16 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Alie-Cox didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was a full-go in practice on Friday. The 31-year-old is mostly a blocker for the Colts and has only 11 receptions for 132 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets in all 14 games this year, so even if he's active on Sunday, he should remain off the fantasy radar. If Alie-Cox is inactive, Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree and Will Mallory will vie for more snaps on offense. The Colts already ruled out Alec Pierce (concussion), so Dulin would be competing for targets with rookie Adonai Mitchell as the WR3 in Week 16 if he's active. Dulin has missed the last two games and hasn't caught a pass since Week 2.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Friday. With his and Josh Downs' (ankle) recent injuries, other wideouts on the Colts roster have been able to run with the first team. The severity of Dulin's injury is unclear, but this puts him in jeopardy of missing Indianapolis' preseason opener on Sunday. The fifth-year wideout had previously been a full-go at training camp on the heels of missing the entirety of the 2023 season with a torn ACL he suffered in August last season. The Colts have a relatively deep WR corps, and Dulin is listed fifth on the team's unofficial depth chart behind Michael Pittman Jr., Downs, rookie Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce. For now, he can be safely left by the wayside until he returns to health and begins rapidly ascending the depth chart.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (knee) suffered a torn ACL during last year's training camp and has been limited this offseason, but he was seen working out and moving well in an Instagram post this week. This is a great sign for his potential training camp availability later this month. The 2019 undrafted free agent out of Malone University has hauled in just 33 passes for 450 yards and three touchdowns through his first 55 NFL games, but he was named a second-team All-Pro in 2021 for his special teams ability. Dulin is unlikely to see meaningful action as a wideout behind Michael Pittman Jr., Josh Downs, Adonai Mitchell, and Alec Pierce, so he can be ignored in fantasy football.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (knee) did not practice on Wednesday as he works his way back from a torn ACL suffered in training camp last year. The 2019 undrafted free agent out of Malone University has had a limited role on offense during his five years with the organization, but he earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2021 for his special teams ability. Assuming he's healthy and makes the 53-man roster this year, he projects to open the season as no better than the team's No. 5 wide receiver behind Michael Pittman Jr., Adonai Mitchell, Josh Downs, and Alec Pierce. For now, he's not worth fantasy consideration in any format.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (knee) suffered a torn ACL during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to a league source. Dulin, who had worked with the second-team offense in the team's preseason opener last week against the Buffalo Bills, had to be carted off the field and will now miss the entire 2023 season. Dulin's injury is a blow to Indy's receiver depth, as he was competing for the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver spot this summer in camp while also being a core special-teamer. The 26-year-old caught a career-high 15 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (two starts) in 2022. With Dulin now out for the year, Mike Strachan and rookie Josh Downs will now be the prime candidates for the fourth receiver job for the Colts.
The Indianapolis Colts are re-signing wide receiver Ashton Dulin to a two-year deal worth up to $9.2 million on Wednesday, according to a source. A foot injury that caused Dulin to miss four games interrupted his 2022 season and he struggled to become a big part of the offense after he returned. In 12 total games (two starts), he caught 15 of his 22 targets for 207 yards and just one touchdown for the Colts. The 25-year-old has done little in his four NFL seasons in Indy, totaling 33 catches for 450 yards and three touchdowns on 52 targets in 55 games played (three starts). The Colts clearly still like his long-term potential, but his 2023 role is unclear, especially since we don't know who the team's next starting quarterback will be.
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (concussion) and tight end Kylen Granson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the New York Giants. Dulin suffered a head injury on Monday night on the same play that got Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James ejected from the contest. The 25-year-old has been well off the fantasy radar in 2022 in Indy's anemic offense, recording 15 catches for 207 yards and a touchdown on 22 targets over 11 games. Granson is missing his second straight game. As such, Jelani Woods has a prime opportunity to make some noise after leading the team with 43 receiving yards on three catches in his first start of the year in Week 16. Still, with quarterback Nick Foles running the show, fantasy managers can find better streaming options at TE.
Ashton Dulin Heads To Locker Room After Taking Big Hit On MNF
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin went back to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion following an illegal hit by Derwin James in his team's Monday Night Football game in Week 16. A defenseless Dulin took a huge hit from James, who led with the crown of his helmet, following an incompletion in the second quarter. He was slow to get up before eventually heading back into the locker room to be checked for a head injury. James was ejected for the hit and Dulin's night could also be over, although the Colts haven't ruled him out officially.
