BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has consistently been a player that's received hype and failed to live up to it through his last two seasons. With the drafting of WR Marvin Harrison Jr., the Cardinals offense has shifted to focus on the trio of Harrison Jr., TE Trey McBride and RB James Conner, with Kyler Murray adding in runs.
Even when McBride was out, Dortch failed to post double-digit games. He's the WR63 in full-PPR scoring this season and isn't worth starting outside of extremely deep or exotic leagues. He's failed to earn even five targets since Week 1, and while any receiver can score occasional touchdowns, he's not a consistent threat in the offense.
Thought there was a clear chance for an out route here for Marv having JC change his route but also the Greg Dortch route was not the right route. He should run the whip route and Michael Wilson should clear it out with a go. Would’ve been a wide open first down for Greg Dortch pic.twitter.com/QRoaeTY8jE

We can't be in the room with the offense to know what's going on, but whether the issues are talent-related or mental errors, Dortch isn't even the WR2 on the team. He'll need to establish more of a presence before it makes sense to start him. Arizona's Week 5 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, isn't a team you should trust to fail on defense, either.
The Washington Commanders blew out the Cardinals in Week 4, and despite having a positive game script and plenty of opportunities to shine against a terrible pass defense, Dortch caught just three targets for 35 yards. He's not even worth rostering in most leagues.
