Greg Dortch Week 2 Outlook - Rams at Cardinals

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Harrison Jr.'s loss was Dortch's gain in Week 1. Dortch ranked second on the team with a 25.8% target share and 31.8% air-yard share. He produced 1.96 YPRR and handled a 28.6% first-read share. He finished as the WR35 for the week in fantasy. Last year, he was a WR3 or better in four of the seven games in which he played at least 64% of the snaps. This could easily be an isolated incident, as he was 89th in separation and 116th in route win rate among 125 qualifying receivers. Dortch is a decent flex play in PPR leagues that will run about 75% of his routes against Cobie Durant (65.2% catch rate and 101.1 passer rating). Last year, the Rams allowed the 13th-lowest PPR points per target to slot receivers.
