Greg Dortch — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Analysis by Shawn Childs, from his 2026 guide — his words, unedited.
Dortch was a productive college receiver across two seasons at Wake Forest, catching 142 of 204 targets for 1,829 yards and 17 touchdowns, with his best year coming in 2018 (89 catches, 1,098 yards, and eight scores). At 5'7" and 175 pounds, he's an undersized player for the position.
He carved out a useful role in Arizona in 2022, stepping in as an injury cover for Rondale Moore and delivering three solid outings to open the year (7/63, 4/55/1, and 9/80). The Cardinals largely ignored him over the following seven weeks, with just five catches for 23 yards and a score on six targets. Dortch resurfaced with two strong late-season performances (9/103 and 10/123). Arizona scaled his role back to WR4 usage in 2023, where he finished with 24 catches for 280 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets, but he offered starting flex value in four individual games (6/76, 3/27/1, 2/45/1, and 7/82).
His opportunity nudged up to a WR3 role in 2024 with 37 catches for 342 yards and three scores on 50 targets, but Dortch only cracked double-digit fantasy points twice all year (6/47 and 4/47/2). The Cardinals led the NFL in pass attempts (649) and completions (427) last year. Unfortunately, he only produced two winning games (6/66/1 and 6/53/1). Dortch only had 17 catches for 87 yards and one touchdown on 18 targets across his other 10 matchups. His season ended in Week 13 due to a chest injury.
