Washington Commanders wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley had his best game of the preseason on Sunday evening as he caught four passes for 37 yards. This starkly contrasts the previous two games, as he was held off the scoresheet against the Jets and caught only two passes for eight yards last week against the Dolphins. While he did not stand out during the first two games, his performance on Sunday evening may have earned him a spot on the final roster. Tinsley made the Washington roster as an undrafted free agent last summer after a big preseason but made only three minor appearances during the regular season. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to who will emerge as the No.2 wideout opposite of Terry McLaurin during the early parts of the season, as that role is still unknown as we enter the opening week of the regular season.
Mitchell Tinsley Catches Long Touchdown In Preseason Finale
Washington Commanders wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley caught three-of-four targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With the starters getting rest, Tinsley did his best to show the Commanders that he belongs on the 53-man roster. On the offense's third drive of the game, the former Penn State receiver hauled in a long pass from quarterback Jacoby Brissett before beating a Bengal defender on his way to a 39-yard touchdown. The undrafted rookie looked solid, but it's still a question if he'll make the roster or not with this crowded wide receiver room.
