Ruled out with chest injury
Dortch (chest) and Marvin Harrison (heel) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dortch would've been in line for a significant role in Harrison's absence, which means the Cardinals are instead left with the likes of Andre Baccellia and Xavier Weaver (hamstring) behind Michael Wilson. It helps that TE Trey McBride is a de facto No. 1 receiver, but the lack of depth could make things tricky for QB Jacoby Brissett against a tough Rams defense.

No practice again Thursday
Dortch (chest) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Both Marvin Harrison (heel) and Dortch haven't been able to mix into drills this week, giving them one more chance Friday to do so or else be at risk of being unavailable Sunday against the Rams. Dortch served as the No. 2 WR when Harrison was sidelined Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, a span in which he hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns. If Dortch is able to practice Friday, he could put himself in a position to fill in for Harrison along with Michael…read more

Dealing with chest injury
Dortch (chest) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch joined No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison (heel) as one of eight Cardinals to not practice to kick off Week 14 prep, with the former's reason going down as a chest injury. There's been chatter that Harrison is in danger of missing time again after sitting out Weeks 11 and 12 following an appendectomy, while it's unknown if Dortch also is a candidate to be inactive Sunday versus the Rams. Ultimately, Friday's injury report may make a ruling on the statuses of both Harrison and Dortch, but for the…read more

Catches two passes in loss
Dortch caught both of his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Although Jacoby Brissett threw the ball 40 times in the Week 13 loss, Dortch saw minimal usage due to the return of Marvin Harrison. The Wake Forest product has now caught 29 of 33 targets for 206 yards and three touchdowns while also taking seven carries for 15 yards and a score through the Cardinals' first 12 games. He's expected to play a small offensive role and operate as Arizona's top return man in the Week 14 matchup against the Rams.

Nets another TD in Week 12
Dortch recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 53 yards and one touchdown, took two carries for minus-5 yards and returned five kickoffs for 127 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jaguars.
Analysis: After a mostly quiet first half of the campaign, Dortch has awakened over the last two games with No. 1 WR Marvin Harrison sidelined due to a bout of appendicitis. While position mate Michael Wilson has benefited most with back-to-back outings with 10-plus catches and 100 or more yards, Dortch has made his mark in the box score with a cumulative 12-119-2 line on 15 targets during that same span. Dortch wasn't doing much before a 39-yard catch-and-run for a TD in the middle of the third quarter,…read more

Records six catches, TD in Week 11
Dortch hauled in all six of his targets for 66 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 41-22 defeat to the 49ers.
Analysis: His season-high 66 percent snap share was a byproduct of Marvin Harrison sitting out due to an appendectomy, and Dortch also added 130 return yards on three kick returns and a pair of punt returns. Dortch was a distant second to Michael Wilson (15-185-0 on 18 targets, 82 percent share) in volume, but that duo, along with Xavier Weaver (2-15-0 on a 72 percent share), figure to be QB Jacoby Brissett's top options at wide receiver for as long as Harrison is sidelined.

Finds end zone in loss
Dortch caught all three of his targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: Dortch's trip to the end zone was his first touchdown of the 2025 campaign. The 27-year-old wideout's 44 percent offensive snap share was his second highest mark of the season, likely due to teammate Marvin Harrison leaving the game early due to a concussion suffered in the second quarter of the contest. Despite scoring his first touchdown of the season and playing more snaps in Week 6, Dortch remains very difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, even if Harrison is sidelined for a Week 7…read more

Two catches in defeat
Dortch caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's loss to the Titans.
Analysis: With Zay Jones back in the lineup after missing Week 4 with a concussion, Dortch played a season-low seven percent of the offensive snaps against Tennessee. On the season, Dortch has reeled in 10 of 11 targets for 59 yards and no touchdowns. He has minimal fantasy appeal outside the deepest of leagues.

Suiting up in Week 5
Dortch (collarbone) is active for Sunday's game versus the Titans, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch operated with a cap on his practice reps during Week 5 prep due to a collarbone injury, but he'll ditch his questionable tag and suit up Sunday. WIth Zay Jones out of the concussion protocol and back in action, Dortch likely will reassume his role as the Cardinals' No. 4 WR behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Jones, which amounted to a minimal four catches (on four targets) for 12 yards in the first three contests of the season.

Questionable for Sunday
Dortch (collarbone) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Titans, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch managed three consecutive limited practices this week due to a collarbone injury, while fellow WR Zay Jones progressed enough to gain clearance from the concussion protocol. Even if Dortch is active Sunday, he'll likely cede the No. 3 role to Jones after he tallied a 4-35-0 line on five targets last Thursday versus the Seahawks in place of the latter.

Stays limited in practice
Dortch (collarbone) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch maintained his activity level from one day prior as he tends to a collarbone injury. Meanwhile, fellow WR Zay Jones (concussion) practice fully, indicating that he's closing in on gaining clearance from the protocol for head injuries. If Jones does so, Dortch likely would be relegated to the No. 4 role on the depth chart Sunday versus the Titans, assuming he's active himself.

Dealing with collarbone injury
Dortch was limited in practice Wednesday due to a collarbone injury, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: With Zay Jones (concussion) sidelined last Thursday against the Seahawks, Dortch experienced his most usage of the season on offense, turning a 64 percent snap share into four catches (on five targets) for 35 yards. Dortch also had one carry for four yards, three kick returns for 82 yards and one punt return for 15 yards. Now with a health concern of his own, Dortch is among three Cardinals wide receivers -- also, Jones and Simi Fehoko (concussion) -- that's limited to kick off Week 5 prep.

Uptick in offensive usage
Dortch recorded four catches (on five targets) for 35 yards, one carry for four yards, three kick returns for 82 yards and one punt return for 15 yards during Thursday's 23-20 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: After earning no more than a 24 percent snap share in any of the Cardinals' first three games of the season, Dortch jumped all the way up to 64 percent Week 4 with Zay Jones (concussion) inactive. Dortch continued to handle most of the return duties, but he also surpassed his total number of targets from the first three games (four) in just one contest. For as long as Jones is sidelined, Dortch appears as if he'll be the team's No. 3 WR behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

Contributes mostly on special teams
Dortch hauled in his only target for minus-2 yards, returned three punts for 30 yards, had two kick returns for 44 yards and recorded a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory at New Orleans.
Analysis: Dortch was busy on his limited snap count (10 on offense, nine on special teams), but his offensive snap share (15 percent) was a distant fourth among Cardinals wide receivers behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent), Michael Wilson (67 percent) and Zay Jones (47 percent). Most of Dortch's weekly contributions in 2025 are expected to come outside the offense as long as the aforementioned trio are healthy and available.

Signs RFA tender
Dortch signed his one-year restricted free-agent tender Friday, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch was extended a tender by Arizona back in March, and he now officially re-signs with the team on the one-year deal worth $3.3 million. He played all 17 games with the Cardinals last season, securing 37 of 50 targets for 342 yards and three touchdowns. Now heading into his fifth consecutive year with Arizona, Dortch is again positioned for a role on offense behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson.

Gets RFA tender
The Cardinals extended a tender Wednesday to Dortch, who is a restricted free agent, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Dortch has become a mainstay in Arizona's passing game the last three campaigns, averaging a 37.7-363-2.3 line on 51.7 targets per year while missing just two games during the regular season. The team will have the right of first refusal for any contract offer that he receives, but if he returns to the Cardinals, he'll continue to operate as the third wide receiver behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson (hamstring).

Records three TDs in 2024
Dortch gathered in 37 of 50 targets for 342 yards and three touchdowns, added five carries for 31 yards and returned seven kickoffs for 186 yards and 21 punts for 202 yards over 17 regular-season contests in 2024.
Analysis: Since his mini 52-467-2 breakout on 64 targets in 2022, Dortch has a 61-622-5 line on 91 targets over the last two campaigns combined. During this past season, he recorded a reception in all but one game, but his receiving yardage total ranked fifth on the Cardinals behind Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson (hamstring) and even RB James Conner (knee). If Arizona opts to bolster its receiving corps further this offseason, Dortch, a restricted free agent this offseason, may find…read more

Another three catches in Week 17
Dortch recorded three catches on three targets for 18 yards, one kick return for 28 yards and two punt returns for 15 yards during Saturday's 13-9 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Aside from a 60-yard outburst in Week 15 against the Patriots, Dortch hasn't surpassed 20 receiving yards since Week 6. Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson typically handle the majority of wideout snaps, leaving Dortch to compete with Zay Jones for leftovers.

Accrues 66 all-purpose yards
Dortch caught his only target for 19 yards, notched one carry for eight yards and returned one kickoff for 26 yards and one punt for 13 yards during Sunday's 36-30 overtime loss at Carolina.
Analysis: Dortch followed up a season-high 60 receiving yards on three receptions Week 15 against the Patriots with a more typical performance Sunday, but he still accounted for 66 all-purpose yards while playing 21 of 70 (30 percent) offensive snaps. His usage on offense ranked fourth among Cardinals WRs behind Michael Wilson (90 percent), Marvin Harrison (81) and Zay Jones (39), so Dortch is more likely than not to be contained to a maximum of a catch or two per game over the final two weeks of the…read more

Tallies 66 yards from scrimmage
Dortch hauled in all three of his targets for 60 yards, recorded one carry for six yards and had two punt returns for 13 yards during Sunday's 30-17 win versus the Patriots.
Analysis: Dortch missed out on his second touchdown of the season when he fumbled on his only carry at New England's two-yard line, but fortuitously the ball was recovered by Cardinals offensive lineman Jonah Williams in the back of the end zone for Arizona's first TD of the game. In the passing game, Dortch's 39-yard catch in the second quarter actually surpassed all but two of his single-game tallies through 14 appearances on the campaign, and his 60 receiving yards marked a season high.

Accounts for 26 all-purpose yards Sunday
Dortch recorded a five-yard reception on his lone target and returned two punts for 21 yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: He took the field for 27 of the Cardinals' 71 snaps on offense, narrowly beating out Zay Jones (24) for third among Arizona wideouts behind Marvin Harrison (60) and Michael Wilson (59). Jones had earned more snaps than Dortch in each of the previous three games but failed to draw a target in any of those contests, while Dortch remained more involved (six targets, one rushing attempt) during that span despite the downturn in playing time. Dortch still hasn't earned more than three targets in any…read more

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Another DNP on Thursday
Dortch (shoulder) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Analysis: Dortch has kicked off Week 16 prep with back-to-back absences due to a shoulder issue, giving him just one more opportunity to get back on the practice field this week. The Cardinals' top wide receiver Marquise Brown also has yet to mix into drills due to a lingering heel injury. In the end, Friday's practice report may clear up the statuses of one or both players ahead of Sunday's contest at Chicago.

Dealing with shoulder 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. The two wideouts will thus have two more chances this week to put themselves in positions to play Sunday at Chicago. 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

Records one catch in Week 13
Dortch gathered in one of three targets for 19 yards, returned three kickoffs for 24 yards and had a 24-yard punt return during Sunday's 24-10 victory at Pittsburgh.
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. Dortch should continue to suit up on game days due to his duties as the team's top kick and punt…read more

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.

Sticking around in Arizona
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. Dortch is a pending restricted free agent, so Arizona will have the ability to match any…read more

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. If McSorley were to log another start for Colt McCoy (concussion) in a Week 17 road matchup versus the Falcons, Dortch…read more

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

With his status cleared up, though, he'll be available to the Cards offense for the 10th time in as many games this season.
