Dortch sparked a late-half sequence with a 29-yard return that set up a Murray-to-Wilson TD, showcasing his role as a spark on special teams and offense.

Greg Dortch began in Carolina as an undrafted rookie in 2019, found a steady role with Arizona since 2021, and now faces his old team in Week 2. His cross-team path adds familiarity in the passing game, potentially aiding quick concepts and route timing. In fantasy, Dortch could emerge as a low-volume, high-leverage option if he strays into targeted snaps, particularly in quick-pass or screens.

Dortch has been the slot focus, but Arizona shifted away from him late last season. Johnston could threaten Dortch’s slot reps, potentially elevating Dortch to WR4 as a veteran depth piece, with Wilson and Jones handling more prominent roles.

Dortch is positioned as WR4 in Arizona’s rotation, risking limited opportunities. Teams could covet his gadget-ability and punt-return value as depth for a late-round pick, especially if he lands in a system that deploys quick-hitting plays and return opportunities.

Dortch opened the game with a fumble on the kickoff, then contributed in the passing game in a limited role. His involvement and special-teams moment highlight the volatility of Cardinals’ depth options, with upside limited to Week-to-week opportunities as the offense sorts its depth pieces.
