Who Should I Start? Trenton Irwin or Greg Dortch

Saturday, December 23, 10:47 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin caught all four targets for 37 yards during Saturday's loss to the Steelers. Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) wasn't in the lineup, meaning extra targets were up for grabs. While Tee Higgins was the clear beneficiary, finishing with five receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown, Irwin had one of his best showings of the 2023-24 campaign. The 28-year-old had eight catches (10 targets) versus the Cardinals in early October, so he can get hot. However, Irwin isn't a trustworthy fantasy option in Week 17 versus the Chiefs, even though his ceiling will be higher if Chase isn't back on the field.

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.
