Notches one reception Sunday
Dortch's sole catch went for minus-1 yard during Sunday's 31-6 victory against the Jets.
Analysis: After being involved regularly in the Cardinals' passing game through four contests (15-131-0 on 20 targets), Dortch's production has fallen off significantly over the last six outings (7-56-1 on 13 targets). The offense revolves around RB James Conner, WR Marvin Harrison and TE Trey McBride, which doesn't leave much more than scraps for the remaining pass catchers. With a Week 11 bye on deck, Dortch's next opportunity arrives Sunday, Nov. 24 in Seattle.

No catches Sunday
Dortch didn't haul in his only target and returned four punts for 65 yards during Sunday's 29-9 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Dortch remains the Cardinals' No. 3 wide receiver, but in an offense that funnels most of the targets to rookie first-round WR Marvin Harrison, TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, there often aren't enough targets otherwise for the remaining Cardinals' skill talent to yield weekly output. As evidence, Dortch has combined for a 6-57-1 line on 12 targets over the last five contests, leaving him well outside of the fantasy conversation.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: Dortch was targeted just once before rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison left with a concussion midway through the second quarter. While his 9.0 yards per target thereafter was a healthy mark, Dortsch's longest gain of 16 yards ended in a lost fumble at the Green Bay 23-yard line with 21 seconds remaining in the third quarter. He's also begun to feature as a kickoff returner again, after DeeJay Dallas had that role mostly to himself through the first four weeks. Dortch may have some short-term…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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

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

Suiting up Sunday
Dortch (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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 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.
Analysis: 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).

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

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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 has 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.

Working with starting offense
Dortch has been working with the first-team offense, PHNX Sports reports.
Analysis: 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…read more

Signs contract tender
Dortch signed his one-year exclusive rights tender with the Cardinals on Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch is coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded 24 receptions (on 41 targets) for 280 yards and two touchdowns in 16 contests for Arizona. With Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore no longer with the team, Dortch could see added opportunities during the upcoming season, though to what degree remains to be seen since the Cardinals will likely add receiver depth in the coming month via the 2024 NFL Draft.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Tendered by Cardinals
Arizona offered Dortch a qualifying tender of $1.13 million for the 2024 season Thursday, Jason Fitzgerald of Over the Cap reports.
Analysis: Dortch, an exclusive rights free agent, has no choice but to sign the tender offered to him by the Cardinals if he wants to play in the NFL for the 2024 season. Across 16 appearances last season, Dortch mostly contributed as Arizona's top punt and kick returner, but he also contributed on offense upon Kyler Murray's midseason return from injury. In all, he secured 24 passes for 280 yards and two scores.

Serves mostly on returns in 2023
Dortch reeled in 24 of 41 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns, had one five-yard carry, recorded 17 kick returns for 360 yards and returned 29 punts for 275 yards in 16 regular-season games in 2023.
Analysis: Dortch was barely utilized (one target) before Week 9, but with Kyler Murray back from a torn ACL thereafter, the wide receiver was a regular option for the quarterback the rest of the way. Even though a variety of injuries stretched the receiving corps thin during that span, Dortch mustered just a 23-278-2 line on 39 targets over the final eight contests of the campaign. He's an exclusive-rights free agent this offseason, so he likely will be a member of the Cardinals in 2024 assuming they…read more

Dortch pulled in all seven of his targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 35-31 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: Dortch served as one of the Cardinals' top targets sans Marquise Brown (heel) in Sunday's thrilling comeback victory over the Eagles. Dortch wound up finishing with more receiving yards than any receiver from either team Sunday. The Wake Forest product has stepped up when called upon at various points of the season, averaging 4.5 receptions and 56.8 yards with two touchdowns in the four games he has been targeted five or more times.

Analysis: After opening Week 16 prep with back-to-back absences due to a shoulder injury, Dortch mixed into drills Friday as a limited participant. Coach Jonathan Gannon then told Johnny Venerable of GoPHNX.com that Dortch was trending in the "right direction" to play in Sunday's game, which has come to pass. With the Cardinals' top wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) inactive, Dortch will be among the options at the position for quarterback Kyler Murray along with Michael Wilson and Rondale Moore.

Returning to practice
Dortch (shoulder) will return to practice Friday and could play in Sunday's game at Chicago, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: It sounds like Dortch is headed for a 'questionable' designation on the final injury report, after missing practice Wednesday and Thursday. Marquise Brown, meanwhile, has been ruled out for Week 16 after aggravating his heel injury yet again during the Cardinals' Week 15 loss to San Francisco. If he makes it through Friday's practice without incident, Dortch could get a lot of snaps and targets in Chicago this Sunday.

The Cardinals' top wide receiver Marquise Brown also has yet to mix into drills due to a lingering heel injury.

Dortch didn't take part in Wednesday's practice due to a shoulder injury, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Dortch joined fellow wide receiver Marquise Brown as a non-participant due to a new health concern.

At the moment, Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore and Zach Pascal are the healthy receivers for the Cardinals.

Snags two passes Sunday
Dortch caught two of three passes for 15 yards, had a five-yard carry and returned one punt for no yards in Sunday's 45-29 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: For a fourth contest in a row, Dortch earned at least a 65 percent snap share, an increase that has been aided by injuries to Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson. Wilson returned in Week 15 from a three-game absence due to a neck injury and logged an 88-percent snap share, while Brown departed for a second straight outing. Dortch has managed just a 12-137-1 line on 23 targets during those four games, but if Brown finally requires a full absence, the former may remain a regular in the…read more

Analysis: Since Kyler Murray returned from his torn ACL in Week 10, Dortch's workload has increased. Over the last three games, he's earned at least a 70 percent snap share and recorded 10 catches on 20 targets for 122 yards and one touchdown. With Marquise Brown (heel) and Michael Wilson (shoulder) banged up, Dortch has a chance in the short term to get additional work in the offense.

Scores first TD of season
Dortch hauled in three of nine targets for 27 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 37-14 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: With Michael Wilson (shoulder) out the last two games, Dortch has been the Cardinals wide receiver to profit alongside Marquise Brown, compiling a combined 9-103-1 line on 17 targets. Dortch also received a red-zone target from Kyler Murray for a second straight contest en route to his first TD, a seven-yard catch, of the campaign. There's no telling when Wilson may return to the lineup, so Dortch could be a decent fantasy dart in the short term, while fellow wide receiver Rondale Moore…read more

Surprisingly productive in loss
Dortch brought in six of eight targets for 76 yards in the Cardinals' 21-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday. He also returned one kickoff for 23 yards and one punt for three yards.
Analysis: Dortch was the surprise leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Cardinals after coming into the game with one catch for two yards on the season. Michael Wilson's absence due to a shoulder injury helped open the door for Dortch's sudden boost in volume, and it remains to be seen if the surge in production will have any carryover into a Week 12 home matchup against the Rams if Wilson returns.

Draws first target of season
Dortch played 16 of the Cardinals' 76 snaps on offense and failed to corral his lone target in Sunday's 26-9 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Dortch had stretches of relevance in deeper fantasy leagues in 2022 and finished with a 52-467-2 receiving line on 64 targets over his 16 appearances, but he's been an afterthought in the Arizona passing attack thus far in 2023. Though he's suited up for each of the Cardinals' first six games, Dortch has logged just 18 snaps on offense, and the target he drew Sunday was his first of the season.

Makes minor mark Saturday
Dortch hauled in one of three targets for 10 yards and returned two punts for four yards during Saturday's 38-10 preseason defeat to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Dortch broke out with a 52-467-2 line on 64 targets in 16 games last season, partly due to numerous injuries affecting the Cardinals' receiving corps. The campaign featured highs (four games of 50-plus yards) and lows (10 outings with less than 20 yards). With DeAndre Hopkins moving on this offseason, Dortch will be vying for targets with Marquise Brown, Rondale Moore and rookie third-round pick Michael Wilson at wide receiver in 2023.

Dortch announced via his personal Twitter account that he's re-signed with the Cardinals.
Analysis: Dortch is now set to remain in Arizona for this upcoming campaign following Friday's announcement. After a quiet first couple of years to begin his NFL career, the 24-year-old had a breakthrough season despite the combination of the team's inconsistent quarterback play and the Cardinals' depth at the wide receiver position. Dortch will aim to build off of the 52 catches, 467 yards and two scores that he registered during the 2022 campaign.

Puts together career season
Dortch gathered in 52 of 64 passes for 467 yards and two touchdowns and took seven carries for 44 yards in 16 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Analysis: All of the aforementioned stats were career highs for the third-year pro, and Dortch also continued to handle returns, averaging 19.8 yards on 11 kick returns and 6.6 yards on 26 punt returns. Neither of those per-return marks were otherworldly, and while his workload on offense was yanked around from week to week, his catch rate of 81.3 percent ranked seventh among NFL players to see at least 50 targets.

Does little with 10 targets
Dortch recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 20-19 loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Coming off a career-high 10-catch performance in Week 16, Dortch tied for the team lead in targets. However, he was unable to convert that opportunity into any type of production as his longest reception went for just 11 yards. So long as DeAndre Hopkins (knee) remains sidelined, Dortch should continue to see expanded opportunity, though the overall state of the Arizona offense could hold back his numbers.

Career-best night in Week 16 loss
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.
Analysis: Dortch's career-best night came out of nowhere, considering he'd logged just four snaps from scrimmage apiece in the prior two games and had gone without a target in those contests as well. The third-year wideout served as spot starter Trace McSorley's security blanket from early in the game, however, and he finished the night leading the Cardinals in all receiving categories.

Cleared for Week 16
Dortch doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dortch was limited for practices Wednesday and Thursday due to a knee injury, which was concerning given he sat out Week 12 with a knee issue. However, it appears his lack of full participation was merely precautionary, and the wideout should be good to go for Week 16. He's operated primarily on special teams over his past two appearances, but if Marquise Brown (groin) is sidelined, Dortch could be thrust into a sizable offensive role against Tampa Bay.

Dortch was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a knee issue, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Since sitting out Week 12 with a thumb injury, Dortch used the Cardinals' Week 13 bye to get healthy, but his usage has sunk to little more than special-teams work over the last two games. As such, his 10 targets from Week 11 appear to be an aberration, as his 10 offensive snaps from the past two outings haven't yielded any looks in the passing game.

Logs full practice Thursday
Dortch (thumb) practiced in full Thursday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After going off for a career-high 109 yards on nine catches during a Week 11 loss to the 49ers, Dortch didn't practice in the ensuing week due to a thumb injury and eventually went down as one of the Cardinals' inactives Week 12 against the Chargers. With the benefit of Arizona's bye week, though, he's able to handle all on-field work, which can't be said for DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Rondale Moore (groin), both of whom were DNPs on Thursday. Arizona still has two more sessions to go during…read more

Sitting out in Week 12
Dortch (thumb) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Chargers, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of his 103-yard performance last Monday against the 49ers, Dortch was revealed to be dealing with a thumb injury, but surgery was ruled out, and he was considered day-to-day by coach Kliff Kingsbury. Dortch proceeded to miss every Week 12 practice and entered the weekend as a game-time call, but a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN late Saturday noted he was unlikely to play. Indeed, that has come to pass, meaning the Cardinals will go with DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, A.J.…read more

Unlikely to play in Week 12
Dortch (thumb) is listed as questionable but isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The situation at wide receiver for the Cardinals has lacked clarity all week, but with Rondale Moore (groin) getting ruled out Friday and Marquise Brown (foot) being activated from IR on Saturday, Dortch is the final domino waiting to fall. That hasn't happened yet, but if he's deemed inactive about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Arizona's likely available receivers will be DeAndre Hopkins, Brown, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson, with Saturday signee Andre Baccellia and…read more

Game-time call
Dortch (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers and will be treated as a game-time decision, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Dortch didn't practice in any capacity Wednesday through Friday, and his status takes on more importance given the upcoming absence of Rondale Moore, whose groin injury in the first quarter opened the door for Dortch to top 100 receiving yards in a loss to the 49ers on Monday. While similar production is unlikely in any event, Dortch could man the slot this week in an Arizona offense that hopes to get Marquise Brown (foot) back from injured reserve. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Brown's role…read more

Another DNP on Thursday
Dortch (thumb) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's practice report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: After posting the first 100-yard game of his pro career Monday against the 49ers, Dortch was revealed to be dealing with a thumb injury that required an MRI and hasn't allowed him to take part in either walkthrough during Week 12 prep. It's unclear if he's in danger of missing Sunday's contest versus the Chargers, but the Cardinals could reveal the statuses of both Dortch and Rondale Moore (groin) as soon as Friday. With Marquise Brown (foot) currently in his 21-day window to be activated from…read more

Sits out Wednesday
Dortch (thumb) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Like Rondale Moore (groin), Dortch was held out to begin Week 12 prep. Unlike Moore, Dortch still has a chance to play Sunday against the Chargers, with two more practices to put himself on a path to do so. There's a chance Marquise Brown (foot) is activated from injured reserve by Sunday, but even if he is, he likely will be on a pitch count. For the time being, DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson are the healthy wide receivers on the Cardinals' active roster.

Avoids major injury
Dortch (thumb) won't need surgery and is considered day-to-day, Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: An MRI on Tuesday revealed that Dortch avoided a serious injury when he left Monday's loss to the 49ers in the fourth quarter. He replaced an injured Rondale Moore (groin) in that contest and ended up catching nine of 10 targets for a team-high 103 yards. Dortch could handle the slot role again this Sunday against the Chargers if his thumb heals and if Moore is sidelined.

Set for MRI on thumb
Dortch will undergo an MRI on his thumb, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: There was no more information given by coach Kliff Kingsbury, so it's unclear if Dortch is in danger of missing any game action. He is coming off a career-best performance in Monday's loss to the 49ers, hauling in nine of 10 passes for 103 yards. The bump in playing time was aided by Rondale Moore leaving the contest early due to a groin injury, and the Cardinals still don't have the services of Marquise Brown (foot). All three are question marks for Week 12's game against the Chargers.

First 100-yard game
Dortch recorded nine receptions on 10 targets for 103 yards in Monday's 38-10 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: Rondale Moore (groin) was injured on Arizona's first offensive play and did not return. That opened up the slot role for Dortch, who took advantage for long gains of 47 and 13 yards. That helped him top 100 receiving yards in a game for the first time in his career, though it's unclear how long Moore may be sidelined, plus Marquise Brown (foot) appears to be nearing a return. If either Brown or Moore returns in Week 12, Dortch will find it difficult to earn a significant role in the Arizona…read more

Suiting up in Week 10
Dortch (groin) is listed as active Sunday at the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch was tacked on to Arizona's injury report Friday as limited due to a groin issue, which made him questionable for this Week 10 NFC West matchup. With his status cleared up, though, he'll be available to the Cards offense for the 10th time in as many games this season. While he was leaned on heavily through Week 3 on his way to a 20-198-1 line on 23 targets, Dortch has totaled just seven touches for 27 yards from scrimmage and one TD catch in six appearances since then.

Added to injury report
Dortch was a limited participant in Friday's practice with a groin injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch was added to the injury report Friday, presumably after suffering an injury in practice. He took only five snaps the week before, relegated to a pure depth role with Robbie Anderson joining DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore as full-timers.

Compiles two touches Sunday
Dortch recorded one catch (on one target) for zero yards and one carry for three yards during Sunday's 31-21 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Since opening the season with at least 55 receiving yards in each of the Cardinals' first three games, Dortch has been afforded just seven touches for 27 yards and one TD in six contests in the meantime. His snap share during that stretch has ranged from three to 53 percent of the offensive plays, while DeAndre Hopkins and Rondale Moore have been the beneficiaries of Marquise Brown's (foot) IR stint. Arizona also gave recent addition Robbie Anderson a large workload Sunday (83 percent, three…read more

Despite TD, sparse usage continues
Dortch caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown and had one carry for one yard during the Cardinals' Week 6 win against the Saints.
Analysis: Despite playing the third-most offensive snaps (35 of 66) among Arizona wide receivers behind DeAndre Hopkins (61) and Rondale Moore (59), Dortch was unable to take advantage in an offense that was missing Marquise Brown (foot) and top running back James Conner (ribs), among others. After compiling a 20-198-1 line on 23 targets in the first three games of the campaign, Dortch has been targeted just twice in four contests in the meantime. Now, even with Brown out of commission for the…read more

Sparse stat line in Week 4
Dortch recorded one catch (on one target) for six yards during Sunday's 26-16 victory in Carolina.
Analysis: Dortch opened the campaign by logging between 74 and 90 percent of the offensive snaps Weeks 1-3 en route to a surprising 20-198-1 line on 23 targets. The usage seemingly was situational, with DeAndre Hopkins suspended, Antoine Wesley (hip) on IR and Rondale Moore (hamstring) sidelined. While Moore made his season debut Sunday, A.J. Green sat out with a knee injury, but Dortch was a distant third (36 percent) to Marquise Brown (93 percent) and Moore (86 percent) in terms of offensive snap…read more

Clear for Week 4
Dortch (back) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Carolina, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Following back-to-back capped session to kick off Week 4 prep due to a back issue, Dortch managed every practice rep Friday, clearing him to play this weekend. Dortch and Andy Isabella are the only healthy wide receivers for the Cardinals at the moment, as DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), A.J. Green (knee) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR) are unavailable and Marquise Brown (rest/foot) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) are questionable for Sunday. As a result, Dortch could be even more involved in…read more

Remains limited Thursday
Dortch (back) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Currently, the Cardinals have just two healthy wide receivers (Marquise Brown and Andy Isabella) on the active roster, as A.J. Green (knee) seems destined to sit out Sunday at Carolina, Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Dortch have been limited in practice this week, DeAndre Hopkins remains suspended, and Antoine Wesley (hip) is on injured reserve. If Dortch is able to get past his current back issue, he likely will be the team's No. 2 wideout behind Brown this weekend.

Dealing with back issue
Dortch was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to a back issue, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch has been producing on a weekly basis this season within Arizona's depleted receiving corps, gathering in 20 of 23 targets for 198 yards and one touchdown through three games. His snap share has eclipsed 74 percent on each occasion, but he's now joined his fellow receivers on the injury report. On a positive note, Dortch was able to practice along with Rondale Moore (hamstring), while A.J. Green (knee) is expected to miss at least one game. If Dortch can ditch his designation ahead of…read more

Nine grabs in Sunday's loss
Dortch caught nine of 10 targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 20-12 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: The 24-year-old continues to be one of the most surprising performers of the young 2022 season. Dortch came into the campaign with only three career catches, but in an offense missing DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) and Rondale Moore (hamstring), he's emerged as Kyler Murray's No. 2 option behind Marquise Brown, posting a 20-198-1 line on 23 targets through three games. With Hopkins out another three weeks and Moore still unproven despite being a second-round pick in 2021, Dortch figures to remain…read more

Tallies first career touchdown
Dortch reeled in all four of his targets for 55 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 29-23 overtime win in Las Vegas.
Analysis: Dortch has taken advantage of the Cardinals' depleted receiving corps to start the season, as all of DeAndre Hopkins (suspension), Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Antoine Wesley (hip, IR) have yet to be active through two games. During that span, Dortch ranks second among the team's wide receivers in offensive snaps (115) behind Marquise Brown (132) and ahead of A.J. Green (113) en route to a team-leading 11 catches for 118 yards (to go with Sunday's score). With Moore potentially out a few more…read more

Surprising leading receiver Sunday
Dortch caught seven of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 44-21 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: The 24-year-old came into the game with only three career receptions in seven NFL games, but Dortch wound up leading the Cardinals in catches, targets and receiving yards. He took full advantage of the absences of DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) and Rondale Moore (hamstring), and while Marquise Brown should be Kyler Murray's top target in the long run, Dortch could supply some surprising production in the early part of the year until Arizona's receiving corps is closer to full strength.

Analysis: Dortch had a spot on Atlanta's practice squad all year but didn't play a game. The 5-foot-7, 173-pound wideout contributed as a returner for the Panthers in two games during the 2019 season. The 22-year-old could aim for a similar role with the Falcons in 2021.
