Who Should I Start? Greg Dortch or Isaiah Bond

Managers in need of a streaming wide receiver should look elsewhere rather than risk starting Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch, who is facing a horrible matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Not only has the Seattle defense allowed the second-fewest points to fantasy receivers, the diminutive slot receiver has been a non-factor this season. Through three weeks, Dortch has only four catches on four targets for a meager 12 yards. Dortch is an effective special teamer, giving him some value in formats that score return yards, but he's not getting anywhere near enough volume on offense to be considered in standard formats.

Despite his lack of involvement early on, ESPN's Dan Graziano notes that Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has the potential to be a second-half breakout candidate in the 2025 season. Bond got a late start after dealing with sexual assault charges that were eventually dropped, so he's a bit further behind your typical rookie wideout at this point in their career. Any time missed in the early portion of a player's tenure could set them back, but the former Texas Longhorn has seemingly already surpassed second-year receiver Jamari Thrash in the Browns' WR room. Cleveland's dearth of skill players could leave him with a low target floor on a weekly basis, though Bond boasts the most speed of the group. Expect things to be in flux for the Browns at some point, but Bond is worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues and is an excellent stash in dynasty formats.
