Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Lil'jordan Humphrey

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 Denver Broncos re-signed wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Humphrey had 13 receptions for 162 yards and a career-high three touchdowns in his first year in Denver in 2023 while playing in all 17 games. While he had a career-best season catching the football, he was also the team's best blocking wideout. The 25-year-old could have a bigger role in 2024, too, following the team's trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Cleveland Browns last weekend. However, with the Broncos most likely starting either Jarrett Stidham or a rookie at quarterback, it will be hard to trust any receiver in Denver next year not named Courtland Sutton. Humphrey also has only 31 career receptions for 477 yards and six touchdowns in his five NFL seasons.
