Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Jordan Watkins

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 head coach Kyle Shanahan said that rookie wide receiver Jordan Watkins (calf) is expected to resume practicing this week, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Watkins, a fourth-round selection back in April's NFL draft, has yet to make his NFL debut in 2025 due to a calf injury. It's been a major theme for the Niners so far this year as they continue to struggle with injuries, mainly to their offense. Watkins has been unable to take advantage of opportunities created by injuries to receivers Jauan Jennings (ribs) and Ricky Pearsall (knee) and tight end George Kittle (hamstring). It remains to be seen how much of a role the 23-year-old will have once he gets past his calf injury, but by then, the team's other primary pass-catchers might also be fully healthy. For now, Watkins is only a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues.
