Dortch's sole catch went for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 31-6 victory against the Jets. After being involved regularly in the Cardinals' passing game through four contests (15-131-0 on 20 targets), Dortch's production has fallen off significantly over the last six outings (7-56-1 on 13 targets). The offense revolves around RB James Conner, WR Marvin Harrison and TE Trey McBride, which doesn't leave much more than scraps for the remaining pass catchers. With a Week 11 bye on deck, Dortch's next opportunity arrives Sunday, Nov. 24 in Seattle.

Dortch's sole catch went for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 31-6 victory against the Jets. After being involved regularly in the Cardinals' passing game through four contests (15-131-0 on 20 targets), Dortch's production has fallen off significantly over the last six outings (7-56-1 on 13 targets). The offense revolves around RB James Conner, WR Marvin Harrison and TE Trey McBride, which doesn't leave much more than scraps for the remaining pass catchers. With a Week 11 bye on deck, Dortch's next opportunity arrives Sunday, Nov. 24 in Seattle.
Dortch didn't haul in his only target and returned four punts for 65 yards during Sunday's 29-9 win over the Bears. Dortch remains the Cardinals' No. 3 wide receiver, but in an offense that funnels most of the targets to rookie first-round WR Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, there often aren't enough targets otherwise for the remaining Cardinals' skill talent to yield weekly output. As evidence, Dortch has combined for a 6-57-1 line on 12 targets over the last five contests, leaving him well outside of the fantasy conversation.
Dortch caught one of his two targets for five yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers. Dortch's trip to the end zone accounted for quarterback Kyler Murray's only passing touchdown of the contest. With that said, the veteran wideout played just 17 of the Cardinals' 57 offensive snaps, his lowest snap share of the season. Though he hit pay dirt for the first time this season, his one reception and five yards were both season lows for the 26-year-old. In an offense that is struggling to produce consistently through the air, Dortch is best ignored for fantasy purposes outside of the deepest formats.
Dortch hauled in three of five targets for 36 yards, had a 29-yard kick return and lost a fumble during Sunday's 34-13 loss in Green Bay. Dortch was targeted just once before rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison left with a concussion midway through the second quarter, so while his 9.0 yards per target thereafter was a healthy mark, his long catch of 16 yards ended in a lost fumble at the Green Bay 23-yard line with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter in a 31-13 contest at the time. And after Dortch paced the Cardinals with 17 kick returns for 360 yards last season, newcomer DeeJay Dallas (11-355-1) has been the team's main man in that regard in 2024. Dortch may have some short-term sway in Arizona's offense if Harrison is forced to miss next Monday's game against the Chargers, but TE Trey McBride, WR Michael Wilson and RB James Conner figure to be the best bets for passes from QB Kyler Murray in such a scenario.
Dortch hauled in one of two targets for seven yards and returned one kickoff for 27 yards and one punt for one yard during Sunday's 24-23 win at San Francisco. Dortch's target count matched his season low, and his catch and yardage totals also marked his worst of the campaign. He didn't lack in snaps (24 of 58) working as the Cardinals' No. 3 WR behind Marvin Harrison (44) and Michael Wilson (42), who combined for a 7-114-0 line on 13 targets while TE Trey McBride paced the team with nine targets in his return from a one game absence. With James Conner seeing one more target than Dortch, the latter isn't any more than fifth in the pecking order for looks from QB Kyler Murray at the moment.
Dortch caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders. Dortch tied with Michael Wilson for second on the Cardinals in receiving yards, seven behind Marvin Harrison's team-high 45. The slot receiver has caught 15 of 20 targets for 131 yards heading into a Week 5 road game against the 49ers.
Dortch caught three of six targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Lions. Dortch earned a season-high 66 percent snap share Week 3, but he continued as the Cardinals' No. 3 WR behind starters Marvin Harrison (88 percent, 5-64-1 on 11 targets) and Michael Wilson (90 percent, 8-64-0 on nine targets). With third-year pro Trey McBride entering the concussion protocol after Sunday's game, the potential exists for more targets for Dortch if the tight end can't go this coming Sunday against the Commanders. Still, Dortch is fifth, at best, in the pecking order in Arizona's offense when everyone is healthy.
Dortch (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions. The Cardinals tacked on Dortch to Friday's practice report as limited due to a hamstring injury, which left him questionable for Week 3 action. Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that Dortch was in line to play through it, and indeed that'll come to pass. He's a regular in Arizona's offense, but with WRs Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson, TE Trey McBride and even RB James Conner ahead of him in the pecking order for targets, Dortch's output (8-58-0 on 10 targets, a four-yard carry through two contests) is too inconsistent to trust for fantasy purposes on a weekly basis.
Dortch (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. A late-week addition to the Cardinals' injury report after the hamstring issue limited his participation in Friday's practice, Dortch looks poised to play through the injury Week 3, though he won't be officially cleared until Arizona releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Through the first two games, Dortch has served as Arizona's No. 3 receiver while stringing together an 8-58-0 receiving line on 10 targets.
