What's Happening?
Mitchell Tinsley, a wide receiver for the Bengals, did not receive any targets during the team's 37-24 loss to the Lions in Week 5. Tinsley played only three of the Bengals' 62 offensive snaps, marking his fewest snaps to date this season. Despite being prioritized over Jermaine Burton, Tinsley struggled to find opportunities in a lineup featuring Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, and Mike Gesicki.
Why It's Important?
Tinsley's lack of targets highlights the depth and competition within the Bengals' receiving corps. His limited involvement raises questions about his future role and potential impact on the team's offensive strategy. As the Bengals continue their season, Tinsley's ability to secure more playing time and targets will be crucial for his development and the team's overall performance.
