• Bengals' Trenton Irwin: One catch in Week 1

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Competing for WR3 role

  08/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Irwin is competing with Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones for the No. 3 receiver spot as the Bengals' preseason opener approaches, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports. While Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are entrenched as the Bengals' top two wideouts, Hobson suggests that the team could employ a committee approach behind the top duo. In addition to Irwin, Iosivas and Jones, 2024 third-rounder Jermaine Burton also should have a chance to enter the WR3 equation. On the team's initial posted unofficial depth chart, Irwin is listed behind Chase and Higgins, but that's presumably attributable to his status as a veteran. In any case, based on perceived upside and ADP, Burton and Iosivas appear to be next up on the radar of fantasy drafters in terms of Cincinnati wide receivers.

• Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Back with Cincinnati

  03/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  Irwin has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The report notes that Irwin's deal with the Bengals is worth $2 million. With the 28-year-old back in the fold and Tyler Boyd a free agent, Irwin should have a chance to compete with Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones for WR snaps behind behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins (assuming he remains with Cincinnati) this coming season. In 16 regular-season games in 2023, Irwin caught 25 of his 32 targets for 316 yards and a TD.

  Irwin had two catches for 34 yards in the Bengals' Week 18 win over the Browns. He finished the season with 25 catches for 316 yards and a touchdown. Irwin had more targets (32) than in 2022 (23 targets), but he might be getting surpassed by Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones in 2024.

• Bengals' Trenton Irwin: Four grabs in loss

  12/27/2023 • By RotoWire

  Irwin secured all four of his targets for 37 yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers. Irwin's four catches were his first receptions since Week 13. The veteran wideout saw increased playing time with Ja'Marr Chase (shoudler) sidelined, playing 41 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps Saturday. Irwin could see a similar workload in Week 17 if Chase is forced to sit out again, but he'll be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes in a matchup against the Chiefs.
