Mitch Tinsley Could See an Immediate Spike in Volume

Saturday, October 10, 5:45 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mitch Tinsley could take on a significantly larger role in Week 5, putting him on the WR3/flex radar for fantasy football. The Bengals have plenty of injury question marks right now, with the two biggest being Ja'Marr Chase (concussion) and Tee Higgins (groin, neck). Receiver Colbie Young (knee) is also questionable. As it stands, Higgins seems to have a better chance to play than Chase , and losing both would be devastating for Cincinnati. The good news is that the Bengals likely have some wiggle room to work with as they take on the Miami Dolphins. If one of Chase or Higgins plays, Tinsley may have trouble carving out a substantial role. However, if they're both out, Tinsley would look to replicate last week's seven-target outing, putting him on the WR3/flex radar.

Jalen Brooks Will Have To Wait For Production To Match Increased Role

Saturday, October 24, 2:13 AM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Jalen Brooks has benefited the most from the Marvin Harrison Jr. trade to Houston. This hasn't provided Brooks with a lot of production (four receptions for 46 yards on 10 targets in the last two games), but he is seeing a drastic increase in playing time. Brooks' snap share shot up to 53% in Week 5 and stayed there last week after averaging a 5% share in Weeks 1 through 4. Week 7 is probably not the right time to bet on him taking another step forward. On Sunday, the Cardinals will face the Broncos, who are holding opponents to 230 passing yards per game and have not allowed a touchdown to a wide receiver since Week 4. Brooks is not a viable starter in fantasy for Week 7. His only utility for the time being is as a bench stash.
