Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Jacob Cowing

Tuesday, November 25, 3:23 PM

The Indianapolis Colts announced on Tuesday that they placed wide receiver Ashton Dulin (hamstring) on Injured Reserve and signed safety George Odum to the active 53-man roster in a corresponding move. The team also signed cornerback Cameron Mitchell to their practice squad. Dulin will be forced to miss at least the next four games and will not be eligible to return until Week 17 against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, Dec. 28. The 28-year-old wideout has mostly been a factor on special teams for the first-place Colts. Dulin has caught only five passes for 106 yards on eight targets and has not scored a touchdown on offense through 10 games. For at least the next four weeks, Anthony Gould and Laquon Treadwell will have more opportunities in the WR4 role behind Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jacob Cowing (hamstring) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Wednesday, guaranteeing that he will miss at least the first four games of the season. Cowing was battling a hamstring injury for most of training camp and suffered a major setback while trying to return for the team's final preseason game. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided a six-week return timeline for Cowing, making his IR placement an easy decision. The 24-year-old would have had a chance to make an early-season impact had he been able to stay healthy, as the 49ers' wide receiver room has been besieged by injuries behind WR1 Ricky Pearsall. With the delayed start, Cowing should be off the radar of fantasy managers for the time being. However, he could be an under-the-radar midseason pickup, depending on the status of currently sidelined 49ers wideouts Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Jauan Jennings (calf).
