Greg Dortch

Dortch is seemingly heading toward an absence for the Cardinals' Week 14 game against the Rams. The veteran wide receiver was working his way into FLEX territory just a few weeks ago. He does not need to be rostered at this time. Cardinals WR Xavier Weaver (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Thursday.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) missed practice again on Thursday. He's not looking like a good bet to play vs. the Rams this weekend, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. WR Greg Dortch (chest) has also missed the first two practices of the week, while WR Xavier Weaver was added to Thursday's injury report with a hamstring. WR Michael Wilson could be in for heavy volume on Sunday.

Dortch was sidelined Wednesday with a chest injury. The 27-year-old had fantasy viability with Marvin Harrison Jr. out, but saw just two targets in Week 13 with Harrison back. Harrison (heel) also missed practice Wednesday, so the Cardinals' wide receiver situation is one to monitor heading into Week 14 against the Rams.

With Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy) rejoining Michael Wilson in the receiver corps, Dortch reverted to distant No. 4 status behind the wideouts and Trey McBride. It was nice to see Dortch pop up during the two games MHJ was sidelined, but he's a real life role player who maxes out as a low-end WR4 in PPR leagues. When everyone is healthy, he struggles to crack the top 70. That will include for Week 14 against the Rams.

Dortch recorded six catches (on nine targets) for 53 yards and one touchdown, took two carries for minus-5 yards and returned five kickoffs for 127 yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Jaguars.
