Mitchell TinsleyWRCIN

Tinsley is one of the better DFS punt plays on DraftKings for Week 15, particularly in Bengals-focused lineups. In the Thanksgiving game, he was targeted on 30% of his routes with 9 targets, though that elevated volume came in an 80-play game and will likely regress. He ran 62% of routes against the Ravens and 77% when Chase was out against the Patriots, providing deep-threat upside with 16.3 and 15.9 aDOT in those games. He has 20% targets per route run and 26% first-read target rate, though he produced only 0.97 and 0.71 yards per route in those contests. At $3,100 salary, he offers value as a salary-cap facilitator to stack with premium receivers in stars-and-studs lineups, though the source acknowledges the boom-bust nature of the play.
