2026 Week 5 Fantasy Football: Ashton Dulin, Keenan Allen Colts Injury Update

The Indianapolis Colts could be shorthanded at wide receiver Sunday, according to ProFootballTalk (NBC Sports). Ashton Dulin (hamstring) has not practiced at all this week, and the outlet notes it "does not bode well" for his availability against Sunday's opponent. Keenan Allen (rest/groin) has been limited in both practice sessions this week.

Zero practice reps through Thursday is a bad sign — if Dulin can't get on the field at all before Friday, expect him to be a game-time decision at best and a likely scratch. If you're rostering him in a PPR (points-per-reception) format, don't start him without a positive Friday practice report. He's a risky flex at the best of times; this week, he shouldn't be in your lineup unless the Colts give a clear green light.

Allen's situation is less dire but still worth monitoring. Two consecutive limited practices due to rest and a groin issue leaves his status uncertain heading into the weekend. The groin tag is the part to watch — rest designations often clear by game day, but groin injuries can linger and sap a receiver's route-running effectiveness even when a player suits up. He carries enough target upside to keep in your lineup if he's active, but have a handcuff ready.

The connection matters here: if both Dulin and Allen are limited or out Sunday, the Colts' receiving corps takes a real hit. That's not a great sign for the Indianapolis passing game as a whole — and worth factoring in if you're starting any Colts skill-position player this week. Watch Friday's practice report closely before locking in your lineup.
