  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Logs 16 yards in loss

    Tinsley caught one of two targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Ravens.

    The Penn State product operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wideout Sunday while Tee Higgins (concussion) was sidelined. However, Tinsley saw just two targets, with the vast majority of Cincinnati's receiving work going to Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown, who combined to catch 17 of 23 targets for 169 yards. Tinsley has now recorded eight receptions on 23 targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns through 14 appearances this season. He's likely to remain a depth option in the Bengals' receiver room in the Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Aiming for consistency Week 15

    Tinsley is focused on making the most of his expanded offensive opportunities with Tee Higgins (concussion) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

    Tinsely was previously targeted nine times versus Baltimore in Week 13, a contest that Higgins also sat out, though he secured just two of those targets for 22 yards. With Higgins back on the field Week 14, Tinsley played just nine of 60 offensive snaps and wasn't targeted once. Opportunity knocks once again for Tinsley in Week 15, however, and he said he's "looking forward to proving" his consistency during Sunday's rematch. Andrei Iosivas also will be in line for increased snaps behind top WR Ja'Marr Chase as long as Higgins remains sidelined.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Held catchless in loss

    Tinsley failed to record a single target in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.

    Tinsley was a complete nonfactor against the Bills, playing just nine of the Bengals' 60 offensive snaps without seeing a target from quarterback Joe Burrow. Heading into a Week 15 matchup against Baltimore, fellow wideout Tee Higgins is in the concussion protocol. If Higgins is forced to miss time, Tinsley would be a likely candidate to see a solid uptick in both snaps and targets. Fantasy managers in need of help at the wide receiver position could consider the Penn State product when the Bengals host the Ravens in Week 15.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Unable to convert chances

    Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens, despite getting targeted nine times.

    Tinsley played 53 offensive snaps (66 percent) due to Tee Higgins sitting out with a concussion. Many of his targets were contested plays, suggesting that he had a hard time gaining separation from the Ravens' defensive backs. We'll have a better idea next week whether Higgins will be ready to return from his concussion and play against the Bills.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Hauls in late TD in Sunday's loss

    Tinsley caught two of six targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

    With Ja'Marr Chase serving a one-game suspension and Tee Higgins (concussion) getting knocked out of the game late, Tinsley ended up doubling his target total on the season while hauling in his second TD of 2025 on a 17-yard toss from Joe Flacco. The Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but a potential Higgins absence could leave Tinsley with a larger role than usual once again in a Thanksgiving tilt against the Ravens.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: One big catch in Week 9

    Tinsley caught one pass on two target for 27 yards in the loss to the Bears in Week 9.

    Tinsley played a season-high 17 offensive snaps, as the Bengals were playing catch-up most of the game and frequently went with four wide receivers. He has displayed a penchant for acrobatic catches both in the preseason and twice (on three total catches) now in the regular season, albeit on only six targets overall.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Targetless again in Week 6

    Tinsley played 10 offensive snaps without getting targeted in Sunday's loss to the Packers.

    Meanwhile, erstwhile competition Andrei Iosivas played 58 snaps, though he was limited to five yards on one catch. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) injured, perhaps more targets will be forthcoming to the Bengals' tertiary wideouts.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: No targets in Week 5

    Tinsley went untargeted while playing three of the Bengals' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.

    After drawing at least one target in each of the Bengals' previous three contests, Tinsley went without a look in the passing game while playing his fewest snaps to date through five weeks. Though the Bengals continue to prioritize him ahead of 2024 second-round pick Jermaine Burton at receiver, Tinsley will likely struggle to see meaningful volume while all of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Mike Gesicki are available.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Acrobatic touchdown catch

    Tinsley caught his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, making a tumbling one-handed touchdown catch on which he was able to drag his right shin down in order to stay in bounds.

    Tinsley earned his roster spot in training camp and the preseason with similar efforts and justified the team's decision to carry him on the active roster with this catch. He's still just fourth on the depth chart and thus not bankable for fantasy, but it was a huge result for the Bengals.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Shines in preseason win

    Tinsley had two catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's preseason win over the Commanders. He has made an impression in camp prior to Monday night's game as well, being named one of the team captains for the contest, Charlie's Chalkboard reports.

    For all of Tinsley's developments and heroics Monday night, he still faces an uphill battle to make the Bengals' 53-man roster. He would need the Bengals to keep six receivers in addition to the top five of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Charlie Jones. It's more likely that Tinsley will be a practice squad player for the Bengals in the event of an injury, or maybe he'll put up some good reps on tape for other teams scouting the Bengals while looking for a depth piece.

  • Bengals' Mitchell Tinsley: Heading to Cincinnati

    The Bengals signed Tinsley to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.

    Tinsley spent his first two years in the league with Washington, but now he'll have a chance to make a positive impression on a new coaching staff in Cincinnati. He has just three regular-season offensive snaps under his belt going into 2025.

  • Mitchell Tinsley: Staying in Washington

    Tinsley signed with the Commanders' practice squad on Wednesday.

    Tinsley wasn't able to make the Commanders' initial 53-man roster after finishing the preseason with six catches (on 13 targets) for 45 yards. He signed with Washington in April of 2023 as an undrafted free agent, and he appeared in two regular-season games during his rookie year, playing three snaps on offense and another seven on special teams.

  • Mitchell Tinsley: Let go by Washington

    The Commanders waived Tinsley on Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.

    Tinsley appeared in two games for Washington last season, playing three offensive snaps and another seven on special teams. Tinsley was busy during the preseason, seeing 13 targets, but he caught just six of them for 45 scoreless yards.
