Good fantasy managers are prepared to deal with whatever injury situations might come their way. Staying informed can be the difference between wins and losses in your fantasy league.
As we head into Week 12, let's check in on a notable injury situation that's developed in the Arizona Cardinals' receiving corps. Slot receiver Rondale Moore was forced to leave Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers. He was replaced in the Cards' lineup by Greg Dortch, who also suffered an injury late in the game against the Niners.
Is Rondale Moore hurt? Is Greg Dortch hurt? Should I pick up Greg Dortch in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers? Below we take a quick look at the updated injury status for Hardman and attempt to answer these questions.

Is Rondale Moore Hurt Or Healthy?
Arizona slot receiver Rondale Moore entered Monday night's game against the San Francisco 49ers playing his best ball of the season. Moore had topped 90 receiving yards in two of Arizona's last three games prior to last week's divisional battle with the Niners.
Unfortunately, Moore was injured at the outset of the Week 11 game against San Fran. He exited after just two plays with what was deemed a groin injury. As a result, he was listed as a non-participant for Arizona's Wednesday practice. Earlier today, Cardinals' HC Kliff Kingsbury said that Moore would not be available against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.
Should I Pick Up Greg Dortch For Week 12?
Dortch has filled in admirably for the often-injured Moore this season and that was again the case against the Niners Monday night. He posted a career-high 103 receiving yards on nine catches in Arizona's Week 11 loss. Dortch has now logged an impressive 29 catches for 301 yards and a TD across the four games that Moore's missed in 2022.
Dortch would normally be a no-brainer pick-up in Moore's absence, but unfortunately, he's dealing with an injury of his own. He was forced to leave Monday night's game in the fourth quarter due to a thumb injury.
While it's believed that Dortch avoided a major injury to his thumb, we must await the results of a Tuesday MRI for more clarity on the extent of the injury. Fantasy managers with room on their bench can be proactive and add Dortch now, but there's no guarantee he'll be cleared ahead of Week 12's matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. If he is active this week, Dortch will be a rock-solid FLEX option for fantasy GMs.
