Greg Dortch Trails Well Behind WR Mates

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch endured a quiet Sunday, catching one pass for 7 yards among 2 targets in the win over the 49ers. QB Kyler Murray spread 30 targets among eight Cardinals but sent 22 of them to the trio of TE Trey McBride (9), WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (7), and WR Michael Wilson (6).

Dortch ran 10 fewer pass routes than Harrison and Wilson, seeing just 53% route participation. The only other game that has seen as much separation between Dortch and his corps mates was the lopsided Week 2 victory over the Rams.

Dortch tallied 8 targets and 6 receptions back in Week 1, but he has just 10 catches in four games since then.

It sure looks like the veteran slot man will need a teammate (or two) to get hurt before he'll find fantasy relevance.
