Mitchell Tinsley Targeted Nine Times on Thursday

Friday, November 28, 3:23 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens. With Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined for this one, there were extra targets up for grabs from the returning Joe Burrow (toe). Naturally, Ja'Marr Chase led the way by receiving 14 targets. However, Tinsley finished behind him with nine. The wideout also had a few chances to find the end zone. All things considered, it appears Tinsley could be in line for continued attention from Burrow in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills if Higgins remains on the shelf. Still, even with the potential for added involvement, Tinsley is hard to trust in any fantasy format.

Tez Johnson News

Tez Johnson Still Has a Path to More Work

Saturday, August 15, 10:58 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Tez Johnson made enough noise early in camp to stay interesting, even after a groin strain interrupted his momentum. Johnson caught 28 passes for 322 yards and five touchdowns as a seventh-round rookie, and Tampa Bay's own camp coverage called him one of the early standouts this summer. Baker Mayfield has shown trust in him, and Johnson made plays both underneath and down the field before getting hurt. The issue is opportunity. Chris Godwin Jr., Emeka Egbuka and Jalen McMillan still sit ahead of him in the receiver pecking order, with Johnson listed behind Godwin on the current depth chart. Mike Evans is gone, which clears one major name from last year's crowded room, but the groin strain interrupted Johnson's push for more work. RotoBaller has him at WR110 in half-PPR. That's deep-league territory, and it should be. Still, five touchdowns as a rookie and the way he opened camp make him worth keeping in mind late if the injury doesn't linger.
