NFL DRAFT ROOKIE GUIDE IS NOW LIVE!
Exclusive rights free-agent wide receiver Greg Dortch signed his one-year tender to stay with the Arizona Cardinals, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move will keep Dortch in Arizona for at least one more season, and he could have the chance to contribute after the departure of DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown over the last two offseasons. The 25-year-old was undrafted out of the class of 2019 and has been with five teams so far in his young NFL career. His only game action has come with the Cardinals since 2021, and he's totaled 79 receptions for 762 yards and four touchdowns in 39 games. The Cardinals are likely to draft Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, or Rome Odunze in the upcoming NFL Draft, but for now, Michael Wilson and Chris Moore are the top wideouts on the roster alongside Dortch. He won't have high-end fantasy value, but he could be a deep-league depth option depending on how Arizona's 53-man roster shakes out.

The Arizona Cardinals tendered exclusive rights free-agent wide receiver Greg Dortch on Thursday. Dortch has flown under the radar in recent seasons but has produced quality numbers for the Cardinals when pushed into the starting lineup due to injuries in front of him. The 25-year-old has a chance at beating out Rondale Moore to be Arizona's starting slot receiver in the 2024 season as the Cardinals look to retool their pass-catching corps. Dortch caught 24 balls for 280 yards and two touchdowns last season and could be a deep sleeper in fantasy if he's able to unseat Moore in the upcoming year.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has hauled in nine of his 12 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. With Marquise Brown (heel) on Injured Reserve, Dortch remains a consideration in deep fantasy leagues or DFS tournaments. The 25-year-old has been a factor in Arizona's offense since the return of Kyler Murray, and Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore have failed to establish themselves as legitimate target-earners out wide. The Seattle Seahawks have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this year, so Dortch has a path to upside with heavy target volume and an end zone snag.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch delivered a solid fantasy performance in the Cardinals' Week 17 win over the Eagles, catching all seven of his targets for 82 yards. Leading the team in receptions and yards, Dortch proved to be a reliable target for quarterback Kyler Murray. With teammate Marquise Brown sidelined due to a heel injury, Dortch stepped into a more prominent role, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly to the passing attack. His seven receptions and 82 yards were not only team highs but also outshone receivers from both squads. As Arizona heads into Week 18 without Brown, Dortch is poised to maintain a key role in the passing game, making him a WR4 in those leagues with a Week 18 championship on the line.

In the Cardinals' 27-16 loss to the Bears, Greg Dortch showcased his playmaking abilities, securing 2-of-5 targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. The highlight was a quick pass that turned into a dazzling 38-yard score in the fourth quarter, displaying Dortch's agility and elusiveness. Despite the loss, Dortch's performance solidifies his presence in the WR4 conversation. Looking ahead to Week 17 against Philadelphia, Dortch's ability to make explosive plays positions him as a potential fantasy option, especially if he continues to capitalize on opportunities and remains involved in the Cardinals' passing attack. Fantasy managers should monitor his potential impact in what could be a favorable matchup, especially if teammate Marquise Brown (heel) remains sidelined.
Dec 25, 2023 3:01 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) is officially questionable to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 16. Although he missed back-to-back practices earlier this week, it appears he at least has a chance to suit up on Sunday. Having Dortch available would be key for the Cardinals, who have already ruled out Marquise Brown (heel). If active, Dortch would be joined by Rondale Moore and Michael Wilson as Arizona's top healthy wide receivers. Breakout tight end Trey McBride will also have a huge role versus Chicago.
Dec 22, 2023 3:22 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Dortch could be in danger of missing his second game of the year after apparently picking up a shoulder injury in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even if Dortch were to return to practice this week and play in Week 16 in a bad matchup against the Bears in Chicago, he wouldn't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old didn't make his first catch until Week 9 and has 13 receptions (25 targets) for 139 yards and one touchdown on the year as a whole in 13 contests. With both Dortch and Marquise Brown (heel) up in the air for this weekend, Zach Pascal could join Rondale Moore and rookie Michael Wilson in three-receiver sets versus the Bears.
Dec 20, 2023 8:03 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch and the rest of the Arizona offense will take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15 fresh off their bye. The 49ers are currently ranked 16th against the pass and may have up to seven players out on the defensive side of the ball. Despite this, there is a possibility at least one of the teammates Marquise Brown (heel) or Michael Wilson (neck) may play, and if so, present as a better fantasy option than Dortch. Even though Dortch has somewhat reemerged over the past few weeks, much of that has been due to an increase in play time due to the injury to Wilson. There is also the possibility the Cardinal offense may lean more heavily on tight end Trey McBride in the passing attack due to the tough matchup, making Dortch at best a WR4/5 gamble. Fantasy Managers can most likely find better starting options for Week 15.
Dec 16, 2023 2:12 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch scored his first touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but he couldn't continue the momentum in Week 13's upset win in Pittsburgh over the Steelers on Sunday. Dortch finished with just one catch on three targets for a 19-yard gain. More was expected of Dortch in this one with rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder) missing his third straight game and the fact that No. 1 wideout Marquise Brown aggravated his heel injury in this game and didn't catch a single pass. But the Cardinals jumped out to an early lead and never really needed to put their foot on the gas pedal with the passing offense in a game that was delayed twice due to thunderstorms in the area. The Cardinals head into their bye in Week 14, so Brown could be ready to go for Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers.
Dec 4, 2023 12:07 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has reemerged in the Cardinals' passing game over the last two weeks. With the injury to rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder), Dortch has started to see an increase in playing time. In his last two games, Dortch has a combined 9-103-1 line on 17 targets. With Wilson once again out for Week 13, Dortch could be in line for increased playing time as he's also outplayed teammate Rondale Moore. The matchup, however, isn't a particularly great one, as the Steelers rank as one of the best pass defenses in the league. To that end, fantasy managers should view Dortch as nothing more than a WR4 or potential dart-throw.
Dec 2, 2023 4:17 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch secured just three of his nine targets for 27 yards but scored a touchdown in the team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when the game was already decided. Dortch has played 75% of the snaps in each of the last two games due to the absence of Michael Wilson (shoulder). The 25-year-old was a favorite target for quarterback Kyler Murray last season and the pair are picking up right where they left off. Dortch now has 17 targets since Week 11 and will continue to see snaps as long as Wilson remains on the sideline. The Cardinals' defense is one of the worst in the NFL, meaning Arizona will need to throw late to stay competitive. Arizona visits the Steelers in Week 13 before taking their bye week.
Nov 27, 2023 9:53 AM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Michael Wilson (shoulder) and Greg Dortch (ankle) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 9 against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie Wilson didn't practice all week, while Dortch was limited in practice all week. The Cardinals will also be without rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe), and James Conner (knee) isn't eligible to return from Injured Reserve until Week 10. Arizona traded quarterback Joshua Dobbs on Tuesday, and it's looking like rookie Clayton Tune will make his NFL debut in Week 9. Kyler Murray (knee) is questionable, but it's more likely he'll make his season debut next week. With all that said, Arizona's offense could be extremely short-handed against a strong defense. If Wilson or Dortch are limited or unavailable, it would mean more work for Rondale Moore and potentially Zach Pascal behind No. 1 wideout Marquise Brown.
Nov 3, 2023 4:31 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Dortch missed his team's Week 8 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury, but his ability to get onto the practice field on a limited basis on Wednesday is a step in the right direction. That being said, Dortch only has one target on the season as he spends most of his time as a kick and punt returner on special teams.
Nov 1, 2023 9:48 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. This is a minor loss for the Cardinals who were already preparing to enter Week 8 with Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore, and Michael Wilson leading their receiver corps.
Oct 29, 2023 3:05 PM EST
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch was relatively quiet in the team's 18-17 come-from-behind victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday. The third-year pro secured two catches on just three targets for 29 yards in the preseason finale. While Dortch does project to make the final 53-man roster, he is currently competing with Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore, and rookie Michael Wilson for targets in the Arizona passing game. Dortch will look to step up and make his mark in the team's Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
Aug 26, 2023 10:36 PM EST
Dortch recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.
Jan 1, 2023 7:37 PM EST
Dortch secured 10 of 11 targets for 98 yards and rushed three times for 25 yards in the Cardinals' 19-16 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday night.
Dec 25, 2022 10:58 PM EST
