Greg Dortch - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Finds end zone in win Dortch caught one of his two targets for five yards and a touchdown in Monday's 17-15 win over the Chargers.

Impact 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. The Cardinals head to Miami for a matchup against the Dolphins in Week 8.

Records trio of catches in Week 6 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.

Impact 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.

Has season-worst performance Sunday 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.

Impact Dortch's target volume 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 wideout behind Marvin Harrison (44) and Michael Wilson (42), but that duo combined for a 7-114-0 line on 13 targets. Tight end 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 wouldn't seem to be any higher than fifth in the pecking order for looks from Kyler Murray at the moment.

Has season-worst performance Sunday 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.

Impact 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.

Four catches in Week 4 Dortch caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Commanders.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Makes trio of catches Sunday Dortch caught three of six targets for 35 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Lions.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 24 • ROTOWIRE

Suiting up Sunday Dortch (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Should play through hamstring issue Dortch (hamstring) is listed as questionable but is expected to play Sunday versus the Lions, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact 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 in 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.

Questionable with hamstring injury Dortch is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Lions due to a hamstring injury, which limited him at Friday's practice, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Dortch was a late addition to the Cardinals' injury report, implying he may have tweaked his hamstring during drills at some point during Week 3 prep. His status won't be confirmed until approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if he's inhibited or inactive, targets behind starters Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson would be up for grabs for Chris Moore, Zach Pascal and potentially undrafted rookie Xavier Weaver (oblique).

SEPTEMBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Catches both targets Sunday Dortch gathered in both targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 41-10 victory against the Rams.

Impact After pacing the Cardinals in catches (six) and receiving yards (47) in the season-opening loss at Buffalo, Dortch was usurped by rookie fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison, who broke out with four catches (on eight targets) for 130 yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Dortch remained No. 3 in the WR pecking order behind Harrison and Michael Wilson, but his snap share fell from 61 percent Week 1 to 39 percent this past weekend. Dortch's next chance to produce arrives Sunday versus the Lions.

Kyler Murray and Cardinals start fast and then fall short in season-opening 34-28 loss to Bills

Quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals enjoyed a fast start before falling short in their season-opening 34-28 loss to the Buffalo Bills

SEPTEMBER 8 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Leading receiver in Week 1 loss Dortch caught six of eight targets for 47 yards and added a four-yard rush in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Bills. He also had a six-yard punt return.

Impact Dortch led the Cardinals in catches and receiving yards while finishing one target shy of Trey McBride's team-leading total. The slot receiver's significant Week 1 involvement was encouraging, but rookie fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison had just four yards on three targets in his NFL debut, and Harrison will almost certainly be significantly more involved on the outside moving forward. The Cardinals will host the Rams in Week 2.

No action in preseason opener Dortch didn't suit up for Saturday's preseason game versus the Saints.

Impact Dortch was listed as a starting wide receiver on the Cardinals' first unofficial depth chart of training camp alongside rookie first-round pick Marvin Harrison and second-year pro Michael Wilson. After going undrafted in 2019 and not seeing an offensive snap until 2021 with Arizona, Dortch was worked his way into a regular role in the offense the last two seasons, accounting for 76 catches (on 105 targets) for 747 yards and four touchdowns in 32 regular-season games during that stretch. Coach Jonathan Gannon expressed confidence in Dortch this past Tuesday, telling Darren Urban of the team's official site, "He's going to have a big year, guys." In addition to his upcoming role on offense, Dortch is expected to be a part of the return mix as well, boasting career averages of 21.0 yards on 37 kick returns and 8.0 yards on 62 punt returns.

Working with starting offense Dortch has been working with the first-team offense, PHNX Sports reports.

Impact The 5-foot-7 slot man started off as a backup the past two seasons but usually got a good number of targets when injuries thrust him into a top-three role. The Cardinals apparently liked what they saw and now have Dortch positioned to open the year getting regular slot snaps, albeit with free-agent signing Zay Jones lingering as a threat to fill in if Dortch slips up. Jones has mostly worked with backups early in training camp, and he might be more of a threat to perimeter receiver Michael Wilson than to Dortch.

Big opportunity ahead? Dortch is part of a thin WR room in Arizona after the team traded Rondale Moore and lost Marquise Brown in free agency, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Impact The 5-foot-7 slot man and return specialist had eight games with seven or more targets over the past two seasons, seeing passes at an unusual rate for someone that only got significant playing time when injuries forced other players out of the lineup. Dortch might get a real opportunity in 2024, though the Cardinals still have time to strengthen their WR group, particularly via the NFL Draft in April. He received a qualifying tender last week as an exclusive rights free agent, and he'll turn 26 this spring heading into this fourth year with the Cardinals.
