BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch hasn't been on the fantasy radar this season, and that's unlikely to change. He has just one game of 10 or more PPR fantasy points so far, and he's taken a clear back seat to WRs Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion), Michael Wilson (ankle), and tight end Trey McBride in the receiving game.
There's actually a chance Harrison plays in Week 7, when the Cardinals take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. Even if he doesn't, Dortch is probably not worth a start. The fifth-year pro hasn't caught more than four passes since Week 1.

With Harrison now having leapfrogged Dortch in targets, the Wake Forest alum is the clear fifth priority overall in the offense, and that's if you don't count QB Kyler Murray using his legs. The Cardinals also face a very tough defense in the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7.
Even if both Wilson and Harrison can't go, Dortch also lost a fumble last game. He could be headed for the doghouse. He's not a fun option against the Chargers' best coverage. He shouldn't be started outside of very deep leagues.
