BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Tee Higgins (hamstring) already ruled out for Cincinnati's Week 10 meeting with the Houston Texans, Trenton Irwin suddenly becomes an intriguing fantasy pickup for those in deeper leagues.
In Higgins' previous absence earlier this season against the Arizona Cardinals, Irwin stepped in to play a surprisingly significant role in the Bengals passing attack. The Stanford product logged 60 snaps against the Cardinals and was targeted an eye-opening 10 times with Higgins off the field, reeling in an impressive eight catches for 60 yards.
In Week 10, Trenton Irwin could have a MONSTER game against the Texans.
The last game Tee Higgins missed, Irwin had 10 targets and 14.0 fantasy points.

It's tough to project that type of volume for Irwin again in Week 10, but after successfully filling in for Higgins earlier this season, he makes the most sense as a quasi-replacement for the injured star wideout this week against the Texans.
It's also notable that the Bengals WR1, Ja'Marr Chase, is also currently questionable for Week 10. Desperate fantasy managers in deeper, 14-plus team leagues can take a flyer on the 27-year-old Irwin as a FLEX fill-in for this potential shootout against Houston.
