Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Rondale Moore

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin caught three of his seven targets for 54 yards in a 24-16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in preseason action on Thursday. Dulin started alongside Adonai Mitchell and led the Colts in targets and receiving yards in the contest. The veteran wideout did most of his damage on a 25-yard grab from Daniel Jones in the second quarter, helping set the Colts up for a 39-yard field goal. From a fantasy perspective, Dulin is more valuable to the Colts for his skills on special teams and is unlikely to overtake any of Michael Pittman Jr, Josh Downs, or Adonai Mitchell in the wide-receiver room this season. The Colts will play their second preseason game against the Green Bay Packers next Saturday.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) has suffered another season-ending knee injury, according to Alec Lewis of The Athletic. This one really hurts for Moore, who also missed the the entire 2024 campaign with the Atlanta Falcons due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old was selected in the second round (49th overall) in 2021 by the Arizona Cardinals out of Purdie. Moore spent the first three seasons of his career in the desert, catching 135 of 182 targets for 1,201 yards and only three touchdowns (one per year) in 39 games (23 starts) over those three seasons. It might be an uphill battle the rest of his career for him to get back to a prominent role on offense in the NFL. Moore wasn't really on the fantasy radar to begin with in 12-team leagues, but his injury is significant for a WR room that will also be without Jordan Addison (suspension) for the first four games.
