Ashton Dulin Competing for a Chance to Start in 2026

Friday, June 12, 10:46 AM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin has "never had a bigger chance to start" going into the 2026 season after the Colts traded veteran wideout Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the offseason, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Alec Pierce (ankle) and Josh Downs are set to slide into the Colts' top two receiver spots in 2026, leaving Dulin to compete with veterans Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Laquon Treadwell, as well as rookie seventh-rounder Deion Burks, for the third WR spot. Boyd suggests that Dulin could have the upper hand because he's entering his fourth year in head coach Shane Steichen's offense. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Malone College has already been impressing during offseason practices. In his six seasons in the NFL (all with the Colts, Dulin has just 40 receptions on 70 targets for 623 yards and four touchdowns in 82 games played (seven starts). The best thing going for Dulin is his versatility, as he's been a key special teams asset and has also played defensive back. Duliin will be a deep fantasy sleeper going into the 2026 campaign.

Jordan Whittington News

Jordan Whittington a Dynasty Drop Candidate

Saturday, June 20, 5:37 AM

Los Angeles Rams second-year wideout Jordan Whittington saw the third-most snaps of all wide receivers on the team in 2025, but that translated to only 171 yards on 18 receptions. Even with Puka Nacua and Davante Adams missing a combined four games, the third receiver spot in Los Angeles carries very little value in an offense that had three tight ends on the field for almost a third of their snaps. The Rams spent a 2026 pick on tight end Max Clare while bypassing the wide receiver position until the sixth round, suggesting a continuation of their heavy personnel usage, and little chance of fantasy relevance for Whittington outside of a catastrophic injury to either Nacua or Adams. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR142, the 2024 sixth-round pick is a deceptively difficult player to move on from given his proximity to the top of the depth chart in what again should be one of the league's highest scoring offenses, but accounting for his usage, both past and projected, Whittington is little more than a roster-clogger whose bench spot could likely be better utilized in all but the deepest of dynasty leagues.
