Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Mason Tipton

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.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Mason Tipton continues to impress in the preseason, recording six receptions for 100 yards in Sunday's 17-17 tie against the Jaguars, including a 45-yard reception downfield on a great ball from second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler. Tipton's speed also drew a 45-yard pass interference penalty, setting up a Saints field goal to start the third quarter. He has shown that his quickness could play a key role for New Orleans this season, as he also caught a 54-yard touchdown in the first preseason game against the Chargers off a pass from Tyler Shough. With veterans Brandin Cooks, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Dante Pettis on the roster, it remains to be seen how significant Tipton's role will be behind solidified starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed. Still, he is a player to monitor if his usage expands in the regular season.
