Ashton Dulin Suiting Up Sunday Against Commanders

Sunday, October 4, 4:14 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Washington Commanders. Dulin had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging two full practices to close out the week. With Alec Pierce (heel) on injured reserve, Keenan Allen (groin) inactive, and Darius Slayton (coach's decision) a healthy scratch, there's a real opportunity for Dulin to step up as the Colts' No. 2 receiver behind Josh Downs. With that being said, he doesn't have enough of a track record to get onto the fantasy radar, especially since we're still not convinced the Colts' offense can support multiple fantasy-relevant receivers every single week. For now, Dulin can be left on waivers in most leagues.

Jalen Royals Playing More, but Targets Remain Scarce

Tuesday, October 20, 8:04 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Jalen Royals has played 83 offensive snaps over his past two games, yet only six passes have come his way. He went without a catch on two targets while playing 38 snaps against Las Vegas in Week 4, then caught two of four targets for 24 yards across 45 snaps in Sunday's 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. That's a big jump in playing time for the second-year receiver, who logged just 22 offensive snaps combined in Weeks 2 and 3. With only 1% of leagues rostering him, Royals is worth a speculative stash in 12-team formats, though his production doesn't justify starting him against Seattle in Week 7. Rashee Rice (hamstring) missed Sunday's game and Tyquan Thornton (ankle) remains sidelined, which opens up opportunities in Kansas City's receiving corps. Still, Xavier Worthy drew seven targets against Los Angeles, and Andrew Armstrong played 42 snaps after being elevated from the practice squad, so Royals faces plenty of competition for meaningful receiving work.
