Irwin caught one of his two targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.
With teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) out for the contest, Irwin was on the field for 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. The wideout's elevated usage, however, did not translate to much production. His two targets were behind both Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas who both saw six targets. Going forward, Irwin will continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, assuming Higgins can return quickly from his hamstring issue. The Bengals square off against the Chiefs in Week 2.
