Who Should I Start? Greg Dortch or Van Jefferson

Saturday, December 6, 9:53 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (chest) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday with a chest injury that he suffered in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dortch's season has likely come to an end with this move, but he'll technically be eligible to return for the regular-season finale against the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old recorded 29 receptions for 206 yards and three touchdowns on 33 targets, along with seven carries for 15 yards and another score on the ground in 12 games this season. Arizona is dealing with multiple injuries at the wide receiver position, with Zay Jones (Achilles) already on Injured Reserve, and Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) ruled out for Week 14's divisional matchup against the Rams. Michael Wilson and tight end Trey McBride will be expected to lead the passing attack on Sunday, with Trent Sherfield Sr. mixing in after being elevated from the practice squad. If active, Xavier Weaver (hamstring) could operate as the team's WR2 behind Wilson.

Across 13 games this season, Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson has recorded 23 receptions for 237 yards and a touchdown on 42 targets. The 29-year-old has earned consistent playing time in Tennessee since Titans wideout Calvin Ridley (leg) first started dealing with injury issues this season. Across seven games since Week 6, Jefferson has played at least 73% of Tennessee's offensive snaps in every contest. Despite the consistent snap share, Jefferson has recorded no more than four receptions or 75 receiving yards in a game this season. His production upside appears capped by both his own lack of explosiveness and the Titans' larger offensive struggles. In Week 15, Tennessee will take on a San Francisco 49ers defense that has held two straight opponents to fewer than 10 total points. Jefferson should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 15.
