Irwin failed to haul in his only target in Cincinnati's win over the Raiders on Sunday. Irwin has now failed to record any stats during two of his five appearances this season despite having seen increased playing time with Tee Higgins battling a quadriceps injury.

Irwin failed to haul in his only target in Cincinnati's win over the Raiders on Sunday. Irwin has now failed to record any stats during two of his five appearances this season despite having seen increased playing time with Tee Higgins battling a quadriceps injury. Irwin's playing time could decrease during the team's Week 10 matchup versus Baltimore if Higgins is able to return.
Irwin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Irwin will be a healthy scratch for a third straight game. With Tee Higgins unavailable, Irwin played over 50 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps through the first two weeks. However, the undrafted product out of Stanford has been the odd man out in recent weeks.
Irwin (coach's decision) is inactive for Monday's game against the Commanders. With Tee Higgins making his 2024 debut after missing the first two games of the season with a hamstring injury, Irwin is the odd man out among Cincinnati's receiver group. Irwin did little with his increased playing time against the Patriots and Chiefs in Weeks 1 and 2, respectively, reeling in just two of eight targets for 11 yards.
Irwin caught one of his six targets for five yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs. Irwin remained involved in Cincinnati's offense in Week 2 with teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined for the second-straight week. Though his six targets were the second-most of any Bengals pass catcher, the veteran wideout was unable to make the most of his opportunities. With Higgins trending in a positive direction, Irwin will likely see his share of targets dwindle as the season progresses. The 28-year-old will be extremely difficult to trust when the Bengals host the Commanders in Week 3.
Irwin caught one of his two targets for six yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots. With teammate Tee Higgins (hamstring) out for the contest, Irwin was on the field for 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. The wideout's elevated usage, however, did not translate to much production. His two targets were behind both Ja'Marr Chase and Andrei Iosivas who both saw six targets. Going forward, Irwin will continue to be difficult to trust for fantasy purposes, assuming Higgins can return quickly from his hamstring issue. The Bengals square off against the Chiefs in Week 2.
Irwin is competing with Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones for the the No. 3 receiver spot as the Bengals' preseason opener approaches, Geoff Hobson of the team's official site reports. While Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are entrenched as the Bengals' top two wideouts, Hobson suggests that the team could employ a committee approach behind the top duo. In addition to Irwin, Iosivas and Jones, 2024 third-rounder Jermaine Burton also should have a chance to enter the WR3 equation. On the team's initial posted unofficial depth chart, Irwin is listed behind Chase and Higgins, but that's presumably attributable to his status as a veteran. In any case, based on perceived upside and ADP, Burton and Iosivas appear to be next up on the radar of fantasy drafters in terms of Cincinnati wide receivers.
Irwin has agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Bengals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The report notes that Irwin's deal with the Bengals is worth $2 million. With the 28-year-old back in the fold and Tyler Boyd a free agent, Irwin should have a chance to compete with Andrei Iosivas and Charlie Jones for WR snaps behind behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins (assuming he remains with Cincinnati) this coming season. In 16 regular-season games in 2023, Irwin caught 25 of his 32 targets for 316 yards and a TD.
When Higgins was sidelined with his ribs injury in Week 5 versus Arizona, Irwin played 76 percent of the offensive snaps and was second on the team with 10 targets, catching eight for 60 scoreless yards. Irwin is a passable fantasy play for desperate managers looking for a fill-in wide receiver. Veteran slot man Tyler Boyd and rookie Andrei Iosivas will also likely have to step up in Higgins' absence.
