Bengals re-signed exclusive rights free agent WR Andrew Hawkins to a one-year, $555,000 contract.
Hawkins busted onto the scene early in 2012, catching 25 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns in the first six games. However, his numbers tailed off in the final 11 contests. Hawkins ended the season with 53 grabs for 548 yards and four touchdowns, including the playoffs. He'll man the slot again in 2013. Mar 7 - 4:46 PM

Andrew Hawkins was limited to two catches for 15 yards in the Bengals' Wild Card loss to the Texans.

Like A.J. Green, Hawkins wasn't targeted on any of Andy Dalton's first-half passes. Bengals OC Jay Gruden's underutilization of Hawkins was one of the most mysterious and head-scratching elements of Cincinnati's 2012 season. A playmaker with the ball in his hands, Hawkins finished with just 51 catches when he should've been hovering around 75. He was the 61st overall fantasy receiver. If Gruden returns as Bengals playcaller in 2013 -- and we tentatively expect him to -- Hawkins will probably continue to struggle for WR5 value.
Jan 5 - 7:54 PM

Andrew Hawkins caught three passes for 18 yards in Cincinnati's Week 17 win over Baltimore.

Hawkins reeled in all three targets that came his way on Sunday as he was used sparingly in the victory. The speedy, shifty slot receiver played in 14 games for the Bengals in 2012, catching 51 passes for 533 yards and four touchdowns. Hawkins will be the No. 3 receiver for the No. 6 seed Bengals when they head out on the road to open the playoffs next weekend.

Andrew Hawkins was held to three catches for 30 yards in Week 16 against the Steelers.

Hawkins had a favorable matchup against the Steelers' injury-riddled secondary, but was mostly a non-factor on offense. The Bengals rarely throw to their receivers behind A.J. Green, and Hawkins is still behind Jermaine Gresham in the receiving pecking order. He finished behind Marvin Jones with seven targets.

Andrew Hawkins was held without a catch on just one target in Thursday night's Week 15 win over the Eagles.

Hawkins' lone touch came on a fourth quarter carry that went for nine yards. The speedy, shifty slot receiver had a favorable matchup against Philly's burnable rookie slot corner Brandon Boykin, but nothing came of it. Hawkins doesn't see quite enough targets to warrant being a solid fantasy play next week against the Steelers. In Week 7 versus Pittsburgh, Hawkins caught just two passes for 17 yards.

Andrew Hawkins paced the Bengals with six receptions, gaining 44 yards and scoring a touchdown in Cincy's Week 14 loss to the Cowboys.

Hawkins scored the Bengals' lone touchdown on a shovel pass from Andy Dalton deep in the red zone. Although Hawkins is an effective per-play slot receiver, he ordinarily doesn't get enough volume in terms of receptions and yards to pay off as a fantasy start. He'd be a weak WR3 option in Week 15 at Philadelphia.

Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins returned from his knee injury in Week 13 to pull in five passes for 47 yards.

Hawkins finished second on the team behind A.J. Green in targets, seeing eight. While Hawkins is an effective real-life player when the Bengals are smart enough to put him on the field, he's not been a fantasy contributor since early in the year. Hawkins is just a WR5 in PPR leagues and off the radar in standard.
Sun, Dec 2, 2012 07:58:00 PM

Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins (knee) is listed as probable for Week 13.

Hawkins may be leaned on a bit more with rookie Mohamed Sanu's season over due to a stress fracture in his foot. The Bengals have not given thought to starting Hawkins, however, and he's been off the fantasy radar for a while.
Fri, Nov 30, 2012 02:31:00 PM

Andrew Hawkins (knee) returned to Bengals practice Wednesday.

He was officially limited. It puts him on track to play against the Chargers after missing Cincinnati's past two games. Hawkins has legitimate playmaking ability, but with Mohamed Sanu emerging opposite A.J. Green, Hawkins is off the redraft radar for the stretch run.
Wed, Nov 28, 2012 01:37:00 PM

Bengals declared WR Andrew Hawkins, CB Jason Allen, S George Iloka, DTs Devon Still and Brandon Thompson, WR Armon Binns, and TE Richard Quinn inactive for Week 12 against the Raiders.

Hawkins is out with a knee injury and should be dropped in 12- and 14-team fantasy leagues. Binns opened the season as a starter, but has lost the job to rookie Mohamed Sanue.
Sun, Nov 25, 2012 11:32:00 AM

Andrew Hawkins (knee) is listed as doubtful for Week 12.

Hawkins can be comfortably dropped in all leagues. He was never considered for a starting job when healthy, and is now shelved for the foreseeable future. Rookie Mohamed Sanu has emerged as the Bengals' No. 2 receiver.
Fri, Nov 23, 2012 02:16:00 PM

Andrew Hawkins (knee) missed practice again on Friday.

Coach Marvin Lewis labeled his slot receiver "day to day," but he's not going to be available for Sunday's game versus the Raiders. We would advocate carrying Mohamed Sanu over Hawkins in deeper leagues.
Fri, Nov 23, 2012 11:38:00 AM

Andrew Hawkins (knee) remained out of Bengals practice Thursday.

He's not going to play in Week 12. If you're an owner in a 14-team league, swapping Hawkins out for teammate Mohamed Sanu wouldn't be the worst idea.
Thu, Nov 22, 2012 02:18:00 PM

Andrew Hawkins (knee) was held out of Wednesday's practice.

Hawkins is "day-to-day" in the words of his coach, but this puts him on track to miss his second consecutive game on Sunday. It should mean even more snaps for rookie Mohamed Sanu. What little redraft appeal Hawkins had is now gone.
Wed, Nov 21, 2012 01:36:00 PM

Bengals coach Marvin Lewis is calling Andrew Hawkins "day to day" after he missed Week 11 against the Chiefs with a knee injury.

Hawkins injured the knee in last Friday's practice, and his status for Week 12 against the Raiders is uncertain. With rookie Mohamed Sanu coming on strong, Hawkins offers very little fantasy attractiveness at this point in the season.
