Ashton Dulin in Line for Colts' Third Receiver Spot

Saturday, July 25, 6:49 AM

The Indianapolis Colts operated out of 11-personnel on almost 63% of their offensive snaps in 2025, and with Michael Pittman Jr. no longer on the team, a notable void has been created alongside Alec Pierce and Josh Downs in three-receiver sets. While the Colts remain a contender to sign one of the veteran free agents still on the market, Indianapolis radio host Kevin Bowen believes the leading candidate currently in the building is eighth-year pro Ashton Dulin. Dulin has spent his entire career with the Colts but never earned more than 22 targets in a season, with that coming back in 2021. Used primarily as a field-stretching threat, he has caught only seven total passes since Shane Steichen took over as head coach, but with Pierce expected to see a more well-rounded role in 2026, some of the deep shots that have defined his route tree in recent seasons could find their way to Dulin. The 29-year-old veteran is not ranked among RotoBaller's top 300 players for 2026, but he is an intriguing enough player to pay attention to when the Colts reconvene for training camp on Tuesday.

Ryan Flournoy's Offseason Work Draws More Praise

Thursday, July 30, 12:25 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy added muscle this offseason, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer has taken notice. Asked by Nicole Hutchison whether that change came from a conversation about helping Flournoy take the next step, Schottenheimer praised his "incredible" work ethic and called him another offseason award winner. The comments fit Flournoy's rise over the past year. After being waived at the end of training camp and returning on the practice squad, he earned his way back onto the active roster before Week 2. Flournoy went on to catch 40 of 56 targets for 475 yards and four touchdowns in 16 games, highlighted by 114 yards against the Jets and 115 against the Lions. He now enters 2026 as Dallas' third receiver behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. That is a difficult setup for steady weekly volume, but Flournoy has already shown he can produce when called upon. He is best viewed as a deep-league watch-list option rather than a standard redraft target.
