Unable to convert chances
Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday night's win over the Ravens, despite getting targeted nine times.
Analysis: Tinsley played 53 offensive snaps (66 percent) due to Tee Higgins sitting out with a concussion. Many of his targets were contested plays, suggesting that he had a hard time gaining separation from the Ravens' defensive backs. We'll have a better idea next week whether Higgins will be ready to return from his concussion and play against the Bills.

Hauls in late TD in Sunday's loss
Tinsley caught two of six targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: With Ja'Marr Chase serving a one-game suspension and Tee Higgins (concussion) getting knocked out of the game late, Tinsley ended up doubling his target total on the season while hauling in his second TD of 2025 on a 17-yard toss from Joe Flacco. The Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but a potential Higgins absence could leave Tinsley with a larger role than usual once again in a Thanksgiving tilt against the Ravens.

One big catch in Week 9
Tinsley caught one pass on two target for 27 yards in the loss to the Bears in Week 9.
Analysis: Tinsley played a season-high 17 offensive snaps, as the Bengals were playing catch-up most of the game and frequently went with four wide receivers. He has displayed a penchant for acrobatic catches both in the preseason and twice (on three total catches) now in the regular season, albeit on only six targets overall.

Targetless again in Week 6
Tinsley played 10 offensive snaps without getting targeted in Sunday's loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Meanwhile, erstwhile competition Andrei Iosivas played 58 snaps, though he was limited to five yards on one catch. With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) injured, perhaps more targets will be forthcoming to the Bengals' tertiary wideouts.

No targets in Week 5
Tinsley went untargeted while playing three of the Bengals' 62 snaps on offense in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: After drawing at least one target in each of the Bengals' previous three contests, Tinsley went without a look in the passing game while playing his fewest snaps to date through five weeks. Though the Bengals continue to prioritize him ahead of 2024 second-round pick Jermaine Burton at receiver, Tinsley will likely struggle to see meaningful volume while all of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas and Mike Gesicki are available.

Acrobatic touchdown catch
Tinsley caught his lone target in Sunday's win over the Jaguars, making a tumbling one-handed touchdown catch on which he was able to drag his right shin down in order to stay in bounds.
Analysis: Tinsley earned his roster spot in training camp and the preseason with similar efforts and justified the team's decision to carry him on the active roster with this catch. He's still just fourth on the depth chart and thus not bankable for fantasy, but it was a huge result for the Bengals.

Shines in preseason win
Tinsley had two catches for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's preseason win over the Commanders. He has made an impression in camp prior to Monday night's game as well, being named one of the team captains for the contest, Charlie's Chalkboard reports.
Analysis: For all of Tinsley's developments and heroics Monday night, he still faces an uphill battle to make the Bengals' 53-man roster. He would need the Bengals to keep six receivers in addition to the top five of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Andrei Iosivas, Jermaine Burton and Charlie Jones. It's more likely that Tinsley will be a practice squad player for the Bengals in the event of an injury, or maybe he'll put up some good reps on tape for other teams scouting the Bengals while looking for a depth…read more

Heading to Cincinnati
The Bengals signed Tinsley to a reserve/future contract Tuesday.
Analysis: Tinsley spent his first two years in the league with Washington, but now he'll have a chance to make a positive impression on a new coaching staff in Cincinnati. He has just three regular-season offensive snaps under his belt going into 2025.

Staying in Washington
Tinsley signed with the Commanders' practice squad on Wednesday.
Analysis: Tinsley wasn't able to make the Commanders' initial 53-man roster after finishing the preseason with six catches (on 13 targets) for 45 yards. He signed with Washington in April of 2023 as an undrafted free agent, and he appeared in two regular-season games during his rookie year, playing three snaps on offense and another seven on special teams.

Let go by Washington
The Commanders waived Tinsley on Tuesday, Sam Fortier of The Washington Post reports.
Analysis: Tinsley appeared in two games for Washington last season, playing three offensive snaps and another seven on special teams. Tinsley was busy during the preseason, seeing 13 targets, but he caught just six of them for 45 scoreless yards.

Won't play Week 16
Tinsley (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Jets.
Analysis: The 24-year-old wideout has only appeared in one game for the Commanders this year, so it's no surprise that he'll be a healthy scratch Sunday. Tinsley's lone appearance came back in Week 2, when he played a total of three snaps (all on offense).

Inactive for Week 11
Tinsley (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest versus the Giants.
Analysis: Tinsley made his NFL debut Week 2 versus Denver but hasn't played since then. Washington has a relatively healthy WR corps, and as long as that remains the case, Tinsley is unlikely to see game action.

Makes NFL debut
Tinsley went without a target across three snaps on offense in Sunday's 35-33 win over the Broncos.
Analysis: After not playing in the Week 1 win over the Cardinals, Tinsley made his NFL debut Sunday but still barely saw any reps. Among the Commanders' seven active receivers in Week 2, Tinsley finished sixth in offensive snaps, beating out only Jamison Crowder, who played exclusively on special teams.

Gets spot on initial roster
Tinsley has a spot on Washington's initial 53-man roster, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Tinsley survived cutdown day and the first round of waivers, riding a strong preseason (6-129-1) to a spot on the team despite going undrafted in April. He's on the old side for a rookie, turning 24 in September, and is more likely to get snaps on special teams than offense this season.
