Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Tank Dell

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.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is on schedule to participate in offseason workouts, according to general manager Nick Caserio. "Tank is doing awesome. We would anticipate him being ready for the start of the offseason program," Caserio said. Head coach DeMeco Ryans also said earlier this week that he was excited to see Dell return next season. Dell was on the Physically Unable to Perform list for the entire 2025 season after he tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL in Week 16 of the 2024 season. The 26-year-old needed multiple surgeries to fix his knee, although he appears to be making notable progress and could be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season this fall, depending on how he progresses during the offseason. The Texans are optimistic that Dell will be able to contribute next year, but in what could be a crowded WR room in Houston, fantasy managers should pump the brakes on Dell returning to fantasy relevance immediately.
