Who Should I Start? Ashton Dulin or Tommy Mellott

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (head) suffered a concussion during training camp practice and has entered concussion protocol, head coach Shane Steichen told members of the media, including Mike Chappell of FOX59. Steichen noted that Dulin is progressing nicely, which could indicate that he'll be ready to go for Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. The 28-year-old is currently projected to slot in fourth on the depth chart behind Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr., and Alec Pierce. As a result, he should be left on waivers in most fantasy football leagues.

The Athletic's Tashan Reed reports that Las Vegas Raiders rookie sixth-rounder Tommy Mellott got significant action at slot receiver during an OTA practice this week. The quarterback-turned-receiver made cornerback Darnay Holmes fall on an in-and-out route on one rep before catching a pass from quarterback Geno Smith and turning upfield. Receiver Tre Tucker made the most impressive play of the day on a deep route where he got open over the top of the safety for a diving catch. Tucker started most of last year, but his role could be in jeopardy in 2025 after the Raiders drafted Dont'e Thornton and Jack Bech. Mellott is fast and athletic at 6-foot, 208 pounds but will most likely serve in a depth role at wideout in his first year in the NFL while also contributing as a return option on special teams.
