Who Should I Start? Terry McLaurin or Ashton Dulin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Another year, another what-if season for McLaurin. Although the fifth-year receiver had his fourth-straight 1,000-yard season, middling quarterback play still held him back for most of the year. Nothing exemplified this more than quarterback Sam Howell underthrowing a wide-open McLaurin for what would've been a 51-yard touchdown on Washington's first possession of Week 18. There is light at the end of the tunnel for this offense, as the Commanders are locked into the second pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. If the team selects one of the blue-chip quarterback prospects, McLaurin's fortunes could finally take a turn for the better next season.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (knee) suffered a torn ACL during training camp practice on Wednesday, according to a league source. Dulin, who had worked with the second-team offense in the team's preseason opener last week against the Buffalo Bills, had to be carted off the field and will now miss the entire 2023 season. Dulin's injury is a blow to Indy's receiver depth, as he was competing for the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver spot this summer in camp while also being a core special-teamer. The 26-year-old caught a career-high 15 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in 12 games (two starts) in 2022. With Dulin now out for the year, Mike Strachan and rookie Josh Downs will now be the prime candidates for the fourth receiver job for the Colts.
