Ready to face Jags
Dulin (hamstring) has had his injury designation removed for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.
Analysis: Dulin was initially listed as questionable to play Sunday, but after being activated from IR on Saturday he's now had that designation removed entirely. He'll be available to operate as a depth option in Indianapolis' wide receiver corps versus the Jaguars as well as to contribute on kick returns due to Anthony Gould (foot) having been placed on IR.

Returns from IR, still Q
Dulin (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve Saturday and remains questionable for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Dulin is now eligible to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup against Jacksonville, though his status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to the contest's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If cleared to play in Week 17, expect Dulin to resume handling his usual depth role on offense while also contributing in the return game.

Set to return to practice
The Colts designated Dulin (hamstring) for return from IR on Wednesday, Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Dulin landed on injured reserve Nov. 25 due to a hamstring injury. He's since missed the required four games and, with his designation to return, is eligible to be activated at any time. Indianapolis has 21 days to decide whether to activate Dulin, but he could play as soon as this Sunday against the Dolphins. Prior to getting hurt, he had a minor role in the passing game and was also serving as one of the team's top kick returners.

Sent to IR with hamstring injury
The Colts placed Dulin (hamstring) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: It's unclear when Dulin suffered the injury, but he'll now be required to miss at least the Colts' next four contests. Through 10 games this season, Dulin has logged a 5-106-0 receiving line on 132 offensive snaps while also seeing 161 snaps on special teams. Anthony Gould and Laquon Treadwell are next up on the depth chart behind Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and slot man Josh Downs.

Grabs 48-yard reception in loss
Dulin had one reception for 48 yards on his only target in Sunday's loss at Kansas City.
Analysis: Dulin played nine snaps on offense. He's taken over as the clear fourth receiver after the trade of Adonai Mitchell, but has just two targets over his last four games. He's still a star on special teams, the unit where he gets the most usage.

Gets time at receiver
Dulin lost eight yards on his only reception in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Analysis: On the Colts' opening possession, Dulin ran backward on a short pass to dodge defenders, but his efforts proved unsuccessful as the Colts were forced to settle for a field goal when the drive stalled out. He finished the day with 13 snaps on offense, as Dulin got time late in the blowout win. Despite the relatively limited snap count, Dulin still saw the field more than Adonai Mitchell (nine snaps) and appears to be secure for now as the Colts' No. 4 wideout.

Practices in full Wednesday
Dulin (chest) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Dulin wasn't able to suit up for Indianapolis' win over the Chargers in Week 7, but he's now healthy and on track to retake the field Sunday at home versus Tennessee. With Josh Downs (concussion) limited at practice but still uncertain for Week 8, Dulin could get a chance to handle increased reps behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Will log another DNP on Friday
Dulin (chest) will remain a nonparticipant in practice Friday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Dulin has not practiced at all this week, suggesting he will likely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers. The same is true for Josh Downs (concussion), so Adonai Mitchell has a nice opportunity to take on an increased role alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce if Mitchell can get back in the coaching staff's good graces. Anthony Gould rounds out the wide receiver depth chart.

Another DNP on Thursday
Dulin (chest) remained a non-participant in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Fellow wide receiver Josh Downs (concussion) remained sidelined Thursday as well. If neither Downs nor Dulin suit up Sunday against the Chargers, Adonai Mitchell or Anthony Gould would slide into three-receiver sets alongside Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce. Dulin could take on a larger role if he recovers in time to play Sunday and Downs doesn't.

Dealing with chest injury
Dulin did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a chest injury.
Analysis: Dulin likely picked up the injury during the Colts' 31-27 win over the Cardinals in Week 6, when he returned two kickoffs for 59 yards while playing just one snap on offense. The 28-year-old wideout will have two more opportunities to return to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's road game against the Chargers.

Moves to bench role in win
Dulin had two kick returns for an average of 29.5 yards in Sunday's win over Arizona. He played just one snap on offense.
Analysis: Dulin had five targets and two receptions for 55 yards the previous week against Las Vegas, but moved back to a bench role with Alec Pierce returning from a concussion. Dulin is a key player on special teams but could still be used as a fourth receiver, as he may have moved ahead of Adonai Mitchell on the depth chart. Mitchell was a healthy inactive for Sunday's game.

Has prominent role in win
Dulin had two receptions for 55 yards on five targets in Sunday's win over Las Vegas. He got the start at receiver in a three-receiver set and played on 47 of the offense's 66 snaps.
Analysis: Dulin moved into the starting lineup with Alec Pierce (concussion) missing his second straight game and with Adonai Mitchell demoted due to dropping the football prior to passing the goal line to wipe out a would-be 76-yard touchdown and then committing a holding penalty to negate a 53-yard touchdown in Week 4. Mitchell played just six snaps late in the game after it became a blowout win. Dulin could stay in a top three receiver role if both Pierce and Mitchell remain out of the mix next week…read more

Dulin could see increased snaps in Sunday's game against the Raiders as the Colts' No. 3 receiver behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Alec Pierce (concussion) is set to miss his second straight game, once again leaving a void in the Indianapolis receiver corps. While Pierce was sidelined for last Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Rams, Adonai Mitchell stepped in as the Colts' No. 3 wideout and played 89 percent of snaps while finishing with three catches for 96 yards on four targets.

Minimal role on offense in opener
Dulin had one carry on a reverse for 15 yards in Sunday's win over Miami. He played on 10 of the offense's 73 snaps but did not have a target in the passing game. He also had one kick return for 27 yards.
Analysis: Dulin is the No. 5 receiver and key special-teams player who is used on gadget plays on offense. He's been productive when elevated to a larger role on the offense, but he's not going to get many targets unless there are injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps. Dulin looked fully healthy after missing time in the preseason due to a concussion.

Full go for Week 1
Dulin (concussion) did not appear on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Dulin was sidelined with a concussion to close the preseason, but he has now returned to a log a full practice Wednesday. The wide receiver will open the season as more of a special-teams option than an offensive asset, but he'll be active nonetheless in Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins.

Recovering from concussion
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Monday that Dulin has been "progressing well" in his recovery from a concussion that he sustained during practice last week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The injury forced Dulin to miss the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Saturday. He'll need to clear the league's five-step concussion protocol in order to be available for the Colts' Week 1 contest against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 7. Dulin finished the 2024 regular season with two catches (on eight targets) for 67 yards and a touchdown while adding five carries for 45 yards and 148 kick-return yards across 15 regular-season games.

Three receptions in preseason loss
Dulin had three receptions for 54 yards on seven targets in Thursday's preseason loss to Baltimore.
Analysis: Dulin started at wide receiver with most starters sitting out the game and led the team in receiving yards. Dulin is a key special teams player and has shown a spark at times on offense, but may not get many snaps on offense as the No. 5 wide receiver.

Back to Indianapolis
The Colts re-signed Dulin to a two-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The deal is worth up to $8.5 million. Dulin doesn't contribute much on offense, but he's a stalwart on special teams for the Colts. Dulin has a total of 35 catches for 517 yards and four touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of Malone.

Only two catches in 2024
Dulin secured two of eight targets for 67 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season appearances with the Colts in 2024. He also rushed five times for 45 yards and compiled 148 yards on kick returns.
Analysis: Dulin spent the 2024 campaign contributing largely in a depth role on offense for Indianapolis while also handling a career-high 292 snaps on special teams. On offense, Dulin largely operated as a blocker or occasional deep threat. He's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

Set to play Sunday
Dulin (ankle) is not among the Colts' inactives for their Week 16 matchup against Tennessee on Sunday.
Analysis: Dulin logged a full practice Friday, though he entered the weekend with a questionable tag. He'll ultimately be able to play through his ankle injury after missing each of Indianapolis past two games. Dulin could see more offensive reps than usual with Alec Pierce (concussion) inactive for Sunday's contest, though Dulin shouldn't be counted on by fantasy managers for production given that he hasn't recorded a catch since Week 2.

Questionable to face Tennessee
Dulin (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: Dulin was able to get in a full practice Friday following a limited session Thursday. With Alec Pierce (concussion) ruled out, Dulin and rookie Adonai Mitchell are expected to see increased snaps behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs. Dulin has missed the last two games and is known more for his blocking prowess at the position. He has two catches for 67 yards and one touchdown this season but hasn't caught a pass since Week 2.

The Malone product will likely be sidelined for the second consecutive game in a Week 15 matchup against the Broncos if he can't practice in a limited fashion Thursday or Friday.

Ruled out for Week 13
Dulin (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against New England, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Analysis: Foster injured his ankle last Sunday against the Lions, and he won't suit up versus the Patriots after being unable to practice all week. The fifth-year wideout hasn't recorded a catch since Week 2, so his absence isn't likely to have a significant impact on Indianapolis' offensive game plan. The Colts are on bye next week, which will give Dulin extra time to try to recover in time for Week 15.

Gets pair of touches Sunday
Dulin did not catch either of his two target but took two rushes for 17 yards during Sunday's 21-13 loss at Minnesota.
Analysis: Dulin saw very limited action on offense again in Week 9, but the Colts tried to funnel the ball to him when he was on the field and he recorded two touches in a game for the first time this season. However, as long as Josh Downs remains healthy, Dulin won't have much fantasy appeal.

One carry in loss
Dulin had one carry for nine yards but didn't have any targets in Sunday's loss at Jacksonville.
Analysis: Dulin played on 15 of the offense's 70 snaps as the Colts frequently deployed multiple-receiver sets while playing from behind much of the game. Dulin is a key special-teams player, but he won't get many more snaps per game as the No. 5 receiver on offense, barring injuries elsewhere in the receiving corps.

Analysis: Dulin worked with the second-team offense in the Colts' preseason opener against the Bills last week as he tries to win a role as the No. 4 or No. 5 receiver.

Analysis: Dulin has yet to pass the league's five-step concussion protocol. If he's unable to do so before the Colts face Houston in Week 18, the 25-year-old wide receiver would finish the season with 15 catches for 207 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets.

Misses second straight practice
Dulin (concussion) is not practicing Thursday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Dulin remains in the league's five-step concussion protocol due to a hit sustained during Monday's loss to the Chargers. His last chance to get back on the practice field prior to Sunday's game against the Giants will be Friday. If Dulin isn't available Week 17, depth wideout Mike Strachan could see a slightly increased role.

Absent from practice
Dulin (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Dulin entered the concussion protocol during Monday's loss to the Chargers after he was on the receiving end of a helmet-to-helmet hit from safety Derwin James, a play that got James ejected from the contest. Whether Dulin will be able to clear the five-step protocol in time for Sunday's game with the Giants remains to be seen, but his activity in practices Thursday and Friday should help determine his status.

Out with concussion
Dulin won't return after suffering a concussion during the second quarter of Monday's game against the Chargers, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The injury in question occurred after the receiver attempted to catch a pass in the flat before Chargers safety Derwin James blew up the play with a helmet-to-helmet hit that drew a targeting penalty and an ejection for the defender. Dulin finishes Monday's game without a reception across eight snaps.

Two catches, one carry in Week 15
Dulin caught both of his targets for 25 yards and rushed once for five yards in Saturday's 39-36 overtime loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Dulin's three touches marked his highest total since Week 2. His role on offense will remain limited as long as all three of Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce are healthy.

Catches TD in loss
Dulin had one reception for a 14-yard touchdown on two targets in Sunday's loss at Dallas.
Analysis: He played only 20 of the offense's 72 snaps and went out on 10 routes. Dulin looked set to have a larger role in the offense early in the season, but since missing four games with a foot injury, he's had minimal involvement largely due to the improved play of Parris Campbell. Dulin's targets Sunday were his first since Week 5.

Not targeted as No. 4 receiver
Dulin went without a target while playing 22 of the Colts' 64 snaps on offense in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Dulin has yet to draw a look in the passing game despite playing 52 snaps on offense. He'll remain an afterthought in the Indianapolis passing offense behind the starting receiver trio of Michael Pittman, Parris Campbell and Alec Pierce, running back Jonathan Taylor and the tight-end triumvirate of Kylen Granson (illness), Jelani Woods and Mo Alie-Cox.

No targets in return from injury
Dulin stated the game as an outside receiver in a three-receiver set but didn't have a reception or target in Sunday's win at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Dulin played on 20 of the offense's 64 snaps and went out on nine routes. It was his first game back after missing four games due to a foot injury. Dulin's role in the offense could grow, as he was outplaying Parris Campbell before he was hurt.

Returns to active roster
Dulin (foot) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Dulin wound up missing the minimum four games after injuring his foot back in Week 5. The veteran receiver had a combined four receptions in the three weeks prior to the injury and likely will return to a receiving corps that's more developed with the emergence of Alec Pierce and Parris Campbell.

Cleared for practice
Indianapolis designated Dulin (foot) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Kevin Hickey of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Dulin has resided on IR since he suffered a foot injury during the Colts' Week 5 game against the Broncos. The transaction opens up a 21-day window during which the Colts can evaluate Dulin for a return to the 53-man roster, but if he isn't activated within the next three weeks, the receiver will stay on IR for the remainder of the campaign. Dulin turned in a 12-168-0 receiving line on 18 targets through Indianapolis' first five games.

Not shut down for 2022
Colts head coach Frank Reich said Wednesday that Dulin, who's currently on injured reserve with a foot injury, is expected to return this season, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Analysis: Dulin was placed on IR on Tuesday after suffering the injury during the team's overtime win at Denver last Thursday. He'll be forced to miss at least four games and could be sidelined beyond that, but he should be back before the 2022 campaign concludes.

Heads to injured reserve
The Colts placed Dulin (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Dulin made an early departure from the Colts' eventual overtime win at Denver last Thursday. His foot injury is serious enough to sideline the fourth-year pro for at least the next four games, meaning he isn't eligible to return to the active roster until Sunday, Nov. 13 against Las Vegas at the earliest. Dulin wasn't seeing much usage, but Parris Campbell and Mike Strachan could see a handful of additional reps as reserve wide receivers behind Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce.

Just two receptions Sunday
Dulin had two receptions for 18 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Dulin played on 19 of the offense's 65 snaps as he has moved back to the fourth receiver role the past two weeks with Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce healthy. Dulin continues to outplay Parris Campbell, so it's possible he could be the team's third receiver before too long.

Moves to lesser role
Dulin had just one reception for seven yards on his lone target in Sunday's win over Kansas City.
Analysis: With both Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce returning from injuries, Dulin returned to his fourth receiver role. Dulin played on just 18 of the offense's 71 snaps. However, he's shown more this season than starter Parris Campbell (just five receptions in three games), so it wouldn't be surprising to see Dulin overtake Campbell for a larger role in the offense before too long.

Leads team's pass catchers
Dulin recorded five receptions on seven targets for 79 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: Dulin took advantage of a depleted Colts' receiving corps to lead the team in targets, receptions and yards. His longest reception came midway through the fourth quarter and went for a gain of 39 yards, but Dulin also managed chunk gains of 12 and 10 yards throughout the middle portions of the game. Once Michael Pittman (hip) is able to return, Dulin will shift back down the depth chart, but he may have gained a larger role in the offense moving forward.

Set for larger workload
Dulin is set to see an increased workload Sunday at Jacksonville with both Michael Pittman Jr. (quad) and Alec Pierce (concussion) set to miss the game, the Indianapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: Dulin is likely to start opposite Parris Campbell in two-receiver sets and could even become the primary target in the passing game after earning six targets in last week's tie at Houston. Mike Strachan will likely work in three-receiver sets, with Nyheim Hines, Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox also potentially getting significantly more targets.

Six targets in season opener
Dulin had three receptions for 46 yards on six targets in Sunday's tie at Houston.
Analysis: Alec Pierce started in a three-receiver set with Dulin on the bench to begin the game as the fourth receiver, but Dulin had more targets (Pierce had two) and nearly as many snaps (32 to Pierce's 47). It was Pierce's first game as a rookie, and he should improve even after a big drop in the end zone Sunday, so Dulin likely will stay the No. 4 receiver. However, it's worth tracking Dulin in case Pierce fails to hold on to the starting role or the oft-injured Parris Campbell goes down again.…read more

Signs tender with Indianapolis
Dulin signed a one-year, $2.4 million contract with the Colts on Tuesday.
Analysis: Previously a restricted free agent, Dulin was presumably unable to field an offer better than the $2.4 million tender from the Colts, so he'll return to Indianapolis for a fourth straight season. Last year, the third-year wideout caught 13 of 22 targets for 173 yards and two touchdowns while rushing three times for 32 yards -- all career highs.

The Colts placed their right of first refusal tender on Dulin on Wednesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Indianapolis will now be able to match any contract offer from another team, should Dulin receive any. Assuming the Colts retain Dulin, he'll be sticking around on a one-year, $2.4 million deal. He caught 13 passes for 173 yards and two touchdowns last season while also playing a significant role on special teams.

Scores two touchdowns in 2021
Dulin caught 13 of 22 targets for 173 yards and two touchdowns while rushing three times for 32 yards across 17 appearances during the 2021 campaign. He also added 206 kick-return yards.
Analysis: Dulin's production was minimal throughout the season, but he still was involved quite a bit, playing 20-plus snaps nine times. It was by far the most productive season of his three-year career but still not enough to warrant fantasy consideration. He's set to be a restricted free agent this offseason, and it remains to be seen if there will be mutual interest in a return.

Dulin did not have a reception on one target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Las Vegas.
Analysis: Dulin had three receptions and two touchdowns in his previous three games.

Catches one pass in win
Dulin caught one of two targets for 23 yards during Saturday's 22-16 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Dulin continues to have limited involvement in the Colts' offense, but he has shown flashes of big-play potential. Michael Pittman and T.Y. Hilton are expected to dominate the majority of the attention in the passing game, so any fantasy production that Dulin is able to generate is expected to be sporadic and unreliable. The Colts have an advantageous matchup against the Raiders in Week 17, but Dulin will likely be a risky fantasy option.

Makes impact on ground
Dulin carried the ball twice for 39 yards in Saturday's 27-17 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: While he wasn't involved as a pass catcher, no Colt did much through the air on a night in which Carson Wentz managed only 57 passing yards. Instead, Dulin helped set up the team's first TD with a 37-yard gain on a jet sweep to begin Indy's second possession. The third-year speedster still hasn't seen more than two touches in a game this season, but he's finding a way to make an impact after catching TD passes in the team's previous two games.

Touchdown in back-to-back games
Dulin caught his only target for two yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 31-0 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Over the past two weeks, Dulin has caught both of his targets for the first two TDs of his NFL career. The third-year wideout's lack of targets relative to his scores is likely a red flag that his production over the last two weeks is an outlier. Regardless, fantasy managers should continue to monitor Dulin's status, as T.Y. Hilton has failed to solidify himself as the clear cut No. 2 receiver behind Michael Pittman.

Breaks off long gain
Dulin hauled in his lone target for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-31 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Dulin's target share remained low in Sunday's loss, but he logged the first touchdown of his career with his 62-yard reception in the second quarter. It was encouraging to see him record the longest play of the game Sunday, as he's had limited looks in the Colts' offense this year. Across the last four games, he's secured all four of his targets for 101 yards and a touchdown.

Gets work as third receiver
Dulin had two receptions for no yards on four targets in Sunday's 30-18 win at San Francisco.
Analysis: Dulin didn't do much with his four targets, but much of that was due to the rainy and windy conditions. The larger takeaway is that Dulin played on 43 of the offense's 68 snaps and moved into the third receiver role with both T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) and Parris Campbell (foot) out. Dulin could put up larger numbers next week against Tennessee in better conditions if Hilton and Campbell remain sidelined.

However, Marcus Johnson played on 34 snaps and essentially overtook Fountain and Ashton Dulin as the No. 3 receiver even though he was just recently added to the active roster.
