2. Ashton Dulin makes his mark on the season

The fans love Ashton Dulin. He makes a large impact in the game as a little-known receiver that defensive coordinators are not changing the entire game plan for. He also makes a lot of special teams plays, making Second-Team All-Pro as a specialist last season.

With both Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce at wide receiver, the monster tight ends, and Jonathan Taylor all taking up attention from defenders, this leaves Dulin open to make big plays up and down the field.

Dulin has been rocky throughout his time with the Colts. He has been productive in some games and a literal ghost in others. However, he started to put some quality receiving games together in the second half of last year.

If Ashton is not able to make any separation on the field, this could be the final season for him on the roster. However, his ceiling this season is much higher to make a larger impact.

This season is lining up perfectly for the young receiver. He should be able to make a difference on the field with all of the weapons that Ballard has provided the offense.
