Greg Dortch fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 2 (2024). Should you start or sit Greg Dortch for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End FLEX
ANALYSIS: Greg Dortch should be a streaming option in PPR formatted fantasy football leagues this week and be viewed as a low-end FLEX as the Cardinals host the Rams.
Greg Dortch has flown under the radar in fantasy football over the last two seasons, but in 2024, he's finally a relevant option after he secured the starting slot receiver role for the Cardinals.
In Week 1, Dortch was second on the team in targets, catching six passes for 47 yards. Despite his involvement and production, Dortch is rostered in just 5% of leagues.
Dortch has consistently seen an increase in targets when quarterback Kyler Murray is healthy. Since 2022, in games where both have played at least 70% of the snaps, Dortch has averaged 14 fantasy points per game.

Looking ahead to Week 2, the Cardinals face the Rams, who are dealing with injuries in an inexperienced secondary. Dortch will likely line up against Rams slot cornerback Quentin Lake, who has been limited in practice all week.
While the Rams managed to slow down Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 1, that was likely due to the added defensive attention given his All-Pro status. Dortch will not receive that same attention from the Rams defense, and the Cardinals will continue to look for him.
With the Rams’ secondary banged up and Dortch’s strong connection with Murray, he’s a viable flex streaming option in PPR leagues for managers in need.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
Caleb Douglas- Start or Sit?
Baller Move: Bench in standard leagues, mid-end FLEX in deeper leagues Positional Value: WR4 Analysis: One of the big mysteries in fantasy football this offseason was how the Miami Dolphins’ offense would look in 2026. Miami signed quarterback Malik Willis to a big contract in free agency, but his pass-catching group was filled with unproven […]
