per PFT

Call it a case of the rich getting richer.
Already boasting perhaps the hottest quarterback in the league at the moment, the Bengals added another weapon to the arsenal this morning.
According to Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Bengals activated slot receiver Andrew Hawkins from injured reserve/designated for return today, and he’s eligible to play tonight against the Dolphins.

Who?

 

[hoops]

slot wr...darn solid one too...tough cover...jimmy wilson played him damn well last year...probably gonna have a little rust tonight

marvin jones has really stepped up his game for the bengals too...

 

[Hayden Fox]

He won't play tonight.

 

[Vaark]

The promising Binns, the fail-safe Keller, and most importantly the dependable go-to guy Gibson: when we lose 'em they're gone for the season..

Hawkins caught 51 passes last season

Has he been practicing with the team? If not, I find it hard to believe they would activate him and throw him into the lineup all within a 12 hour period.

Hawkins can be dangerous. Meanwhile we lost pretty much every single weapon. Phins are cursed like the Cubs.

At best he'll be limited and he'll take a couple of weeks to get up to game speed. The Bengals front office has done a nice job acquiring talent over the last several years. Something for Ross to consider if he opts to turnover the front office.

Someone beat me to Jones in fantasy. I was pissed. I ended up picking up Matthews hoping that he may get some of Gibson's work tonight.

Bengals realize how important this game is. You could essentially go 4 games ahead (3 in the loss column, plus the head to head) of Miami in a potential Wildcard scenario (plus wins over the Bills, Jets and Pats under their belt already) . . . pretty much eliminating them as competition. Of course Cincy is in the driver's seat to win the division but just in case they would have a head to head tiebreak over Miami.

If Miami wins, the lead would be 1 in the loss column, but Miami would own the head to head.
