Mitch Tinsley: Everything you need to know

Tinsley and the Bengals agreed on a one-year contract extension Monday. Tinsley caught eight of 24 targets for 116 yards and two touchdowns over 17 contests during the regular season, and he'll now stick around Cincinnati for another year. The wide receiver will compete for a top reserve spot behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in 2026.

Tinsley was not targeted in Sunday's blowout win over the Cardinals. He played 22 offensive snaps. Tinsley has dropped back down in the pecking order now that Tee Higgins and Mike Gesicki are both healthy and commanding more targets.

Tinsley failed to reel in his lone target in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins. Tinsley played 22 of the Bengals' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, behind Ja'Marr Chase (53), Tee Higgins (38) and Andrei Iosivas (31). With Higgins returning from a concussion that sidelined him in Week 15, the 26-year-old Tinsley was a complete non-factor in the contest, taking a backseat in Cincinnati's passing attack against a vulnerable Dolphins defense. The Penn State product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.
