Our Take After Week 4

Through 2 games he's WR157 at 0.0 PPR points per game, against 6.3 over 12 games last season (WR84). He's running behind last season's pace.

Last season he ranked 102nd of 142 in target volume (5.3% target share), 135th of 142 in downfield role (1.2% air-yards share) and 110th of 142 in efficiency (0.99 yards per route run). Downfield role is the soft spot. Josh Allen is his quarterback.

He's WR2 on the depth chart, so his value depends on the players ahead of him.

The next favorable matchup is the Ravens in Week 8 (6th against WRs).

Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)

Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.

Dortch has built a steady but capped profile in his ancillary role. In 2025 he played just 33.6% of snaps for Arizona, ran 209 routes, and turned 33 targets into 29 catches for 206 yards and 3 scores on a tidy 87.9% catch rate. His underneath usage is the story: 1.76 air yards per target, 6.69 yards after the catch per reception, and only 0.99 yards per route run. The advanced marks stay positive (0.129 EPA per play, 39.4% success rate), but a 5.3% target share and 0.089 WOPR cap the ceiling. His fuller 2024 line, 37-342-3 across 17 games, set his career bar.

The move to Detroit reunites him with coordinator Drew Petzing, yet he projects as the fourth receiver behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. With an ADP near 313 overall and roughly 10 projected points, he is a season-long waiver name, not a draft target. Only an injury ahead of him changes that.
