Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Tank Dell

Friday, August 8, 9:29 AM

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.

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Wednesday at training camp that wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is "doing great." "He's crushing rehab. He's in a great headspace. We're not putting any timetables timeline on Tank." It's good news that Dell is making strides in his rehab, but the fact remains that he's highly unlikely to play at all in 2025 after dislocating his knee and tearing his ACL, MCL and LCL in Week 16 last season. The Texans placed him on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Wednesday, and he won't be taking part in any practices this summer as the team gets ready for the 2025 season. If Dell is even ready to return next year, he might be a shell of his former self. Fantasy managers should leave him off their draft boards this fall.
