The Cardinals made it a point to hang on to Dortch this offseason, so expect him to compete for a role in the offense this preseason. He four games in his final seven with at least 11 PPR points, which isn't awful if you view him as a bench fill-in player. The problem is expecting Dortch to replicate that role now that Marvin Harrison Jr. is part of the Arizona offense. It's for the best that Dortch doesn't get picked in redraft leagues; expect to find him on the waiver wire during the season.
Dortch worked primarily in a complementary fashion, finishing a distant fourth on the Cardinals in receiver snaps (370) last season. He did either score or clear 80 yards in two of the four games in which Marquise Brown was sidelined, demonstrating starting potential. A diminutive slot man with tenacity for days and enough quickness to challenge defenders, Dortch could fill the Rondale Moore role in Arizona. While such a promotion would yield a bump in volume, it still wouldn't be enough to make him fantasy-relevant on a weekly basis, not with Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Zay Jones all soaking up targets.
