The Cincinnati Bengals have declared WR Dane Sanzenbacher, CB Darqueze Dennard, RB Giovani Bernard, OG Kevin Zeitler, LB Rey Maualuga, LB Vontaze Burfict, DL Will Clarke inactive for Week 9.

Footballguys view: Jeremy Hill gets the start for Bernard and he's a must play against the Jags. Vinny Rey will start at MLB for Burfict, but Emmanuel Lamur will see more snaps and added value as a result of his absence too. Rex Burkhead and Cedric Peerman will also see the field to spell Hill.

  Bengals | Cincy won't change offensive game plan    Thu Oct 9, 01:20 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (toe) may not play in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers, but offensive coordinator Hue Jackson refuses to change the game plan drastically if their receiving star doesn't play. 'That's why I never put together a game plan based on one guy,' said Jackson. 'We're not going to crash our game plan. As a coordinator you just have to adapt. You never know what might happen.' WR Mohamed Sanu is tied for the team lead with Green with 17 catches, and WR Dane Sanzenbacher can also be used.

Footballguys view: Jackson might refuse but it's up to quarterback Andy Dalton to execute. As it stands, Mohamed Sanu has one less target than Green, though he played one more game and had two more targets last week in the loss to the New England Patriots. We see Sanu as a solid WR2 right now, with some upside if Andy Dalton can take advantage of what looks to be a good matchup.

  Bengals | Dane Sanzenbacher feeling more comfortable    Tue Jul 1, 03:05 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Dane Sanzenbacher recently said he has a higher comfort level now that he's been with the team for more than a season. 'The longer you're there, the more of a comfort level you have,' Sanzenbacher said. 'It's easier to perform well when you're in a place that you like.' Sanzenbacher also said he's been training in Arizona in preparation for training camp in late July.

Footballguys view: Sanzenbacher will be asked to take the place of Andrew Hawkins this year. Coming out of college Sanzenbacher was a precise route-runner with good hands. Now that he's more comfortable in the pros, he'll be able to make the most of his natural skill set. With a run-heavy system under new OC Hue Jackson, we're not expecting Sanzenbacher to be much of a fantasy factor.

  Bengals | Dane Sanzenbacher likely to be used in slot    Mon May 19, 04:11 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Dane Sanzenbacher likely will be the team's slot receiver this upcoming season since they lost WR Andrew Hawkins to the Cleveland Browns.

Footballguys view: Sanzenbacher is not as quick as Hawkins, and he may not be as productive. We like Sanzenbacher's route-running and concentration when running routes over the middle. However, don't expect much from him for fantasy purposes.

  Bengals | Re-sign Dane Sanzenbacher     Tue Apr 8, 03:01 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals re-signed WR Dane Sanzenbacher Tuesday, April 8. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Sanzenbacher is a slot receiver who may make the team as a replacement for Andrew Hawkins, who was signed to a restricted free agent offer sheet by the Browns.

  Bengals | Three RFAs receive offers    Wed Mar 5, 12:00 PM

Cincinnati Bengals restricted free-agent WR Andrew Hawkins, WR Dane Sanzenbacher and LB Vincent Rey have received the lowest tender offer. The team would receive no compensation if any of the players signed with another team, because they were all undrafted players.

  Bengals | Mohamed Sanu misses practice    Tue Oct 29, 04:15 PM

Cincinnati Bengals WR Mohamed Sanu (shoulder) missed his second straight day of practice Tuesday, Oct. 29. If he can't play in the team's Week 9 game Thursday, Oct. 31, against the Miami Dolphins, then WR Marvin Jones will replace him in two-receiver sets with WR Dane Sanzenbacher taking some snaps out of the slot position.

Footballguys view: The Bengals are also set to get Andrew Hawkins back soon. He'll work as a slot receiver for the team when he's healthy.

  Bears | Two WRs expected to compete for one roster spot    Wed Jun 6, 03:29 PM

Chicago Bears WRs Dane Sanzenbacher and Devin Thomas are expected to compete for one roster spot during training camp because the team is not expected to have seven receivers on their final roster.

Footballguys view: Thomas was a second-round pick by the Redskins back in 2008 but has failed to play up to his potential as a pro. We like Sanzenbacker in this competition because he's got strong hands and is not afraid to run routes over the middle.

  Bears | Dane Sanzenbacher finds end zone again    Mon Oct 17, 12:43 AM

Chicago Bears WR Dane Sanzenbacher had just one catch in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, but it was good for a 13-yard touchdown. The undrafted rookie out of Ohio State has just 17 receptions through six games, but three have been on scoring plays.

  Bears | Dane Sanzenbacher leads team in receiving in Week 5    Tue Oct 11, 12:28 AM

Chicago Bears WR Dane Sanzenbacher posted a game-high six receptions for a team-best 64 yards in the Week 5 game Monday, Oct. 10, against the Detroit Lions.

Footballguys view: It makes sense that Sanzenbacher would have this type of game considering the defense they were facing. Cutler was under pressure all night and needed to get the ball out of his hands quickly. Short/quick and underneath routes are Sanzenbacher's forte.

  Bears | Johnny Knox leads receivers in Week 3    Sun Sep 25, 10:55 PM

Chicago Bears WR Johnny Knox had four receptions for 84 yards in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. WR Devin Hester had three grabs for 62 yards, while WR Dane Sanzenbacher reeled in five balls for 27 yards and a score, his second of the season. WR Sam Hurd also chimed in with one grab for 17 yards.

Footballguys view: Knox had a bad drop on what could have been a big day, and he also had a punt return TD called back by a phantom holding penalty. If any Bears WR is worth owning, it is Knox.

Chicago Bears WR Johnny Knox had two receptions for 45 yards in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Rookie WR Dane Sanzenbacher managed three catches for 33 yards and his first NFL touchdown. WRs Earl Bennett, Devin Hester and Sam Hurd each had just one catch.

Footballguys view: Cutler just didn't have time to look downfield all that often. Knox is looking like the most valuable Bears WR, but that ain't saying much - just don't cut him yet.

  Bears | Dane Sanzenbacher has chance to make team    Wed Aug 31, 12:09 PM

Chicago Bears WR Dane Sanzenbacher has a good chance to make the final roster as the sixth wide receiver. Offensive coordinator Mike Martz said Sanzenbacher can play at several spots but has the skills to be a slot receiver. Sanzenbacher is trying to contribute on special teams but may be too small to help in the team's schemes on special teams.

Footballguys view: Sanzenbacher knows how to get open and is fearless when running routes over the middle. He's not an elite athlete but is a hard nosed player who will fight for contested passes.

  Bears | Dane Sanzenbacher could fit slot position    Thu Aug 11, 05:42 PM

Chicago Bears WR Dane Sanzenbacher could fit well in the slot receiver position in offensive coordinator Mike Martz's system.

Footballguys view: Sanzenbacher is closing on Earl Bennett, but Bennett is also having a good camp. No matter how it shakes out this year, it appears Sanzenbacher has a future in the NFL and he deserves a roster spot in deep dynasty leagues.

  Browns | Could show interest in Dane Sanzenbacher    Sat Jul 23, 03:34 PM

The Cleveland Browns could show interest in Ohio State WR Dane Sanzenbacher once the lockout is over.

Footballguys view: It was surprising to us that Sanzenbacher wasn't drafted. Sure, he's not an elite athlete but he's very smart, knows the route tree, and isn't afraid to go over the middle. The Ohio State connection makes it a no-brainer move for the Browns.
