Not targeted in win Iosivas was not targeted in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.

Impact Iosivas operated as the Bengals' No. 3 wide receiver Sunday, playing 65 percent of the team's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Cincinnati's top duo at wideout, Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, saw snap shares of 87 and 79 percent, respectively. With plenty of mouths to feed on offense in Chase, Higgins, Chase Brown, Noah Fant, and Mike Gesicki, Iosivas will be extremely difficult to trust for anything close to consistent fantasy production. Iosivas should remain far off the fantasy radar when the Bengals host the Jaguars in Week 2.

Runs with starters Iosivas wasn't targeted during Thursday's preseason game at Philadelphia, but he played 11 of 15 snaps with the first-team offense, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.

Impact Ja'Marr Chase took all 15 snaps, with Higgins and Iosivas getting 11 apiece and Charlie Jones chipping in for three. Noticeably absent was 2024 third-round pick Jermaine Burton, who is said to be doing much better this summer after making a poor impression last year. In any case, Iosivas picked up where he left off last year, having finished 2024 with 61 targets despite ranking 11th among wideouts in routes run (51). The Bengals could still give Burton, Jones or someone else a shot in the No. 3 WR role at some point.

AUGUST 8 • ROTOWIRE

Having a good training camp Iosivas, who has been having a strong training camp, per Ben Baby of ESPN, turned in another strong effort Wednesday.

Impact Iosivas is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 36/479/6 receiving line (on 61 targets) in 17 games, while working alongside star WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who both subsequently signed long-term extensions with the Bengals. While Iosivas is no threat to supplant either of the team's top two options at his position, the third-year player's continued development, in particular in terms of his contested-catch ability -- which was on display during Wednesday session -- should help keep him on the fantasy radar despite a target share that figures to be modest as long as Chase and Higgins remain healthy.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas adds 15 pounds while eyeing breakout season A Bengals WR is doing whatever it takes to keep ascending.

JUNE 6 • USATODAY.COM

Adds muscle in offseason Iosivas said Thursday he's added roughly 15 pounds this offseason, bulking up to a weight of 220 as part of his workout regimen, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact Iosivas officially weighed in at 205 pounds last season but said he usually played at nearer to 207, so his offseason transformation has already been drastic. The 2023 sixth-round pick said he aims to play between 215-220 pounds in 2025, saying "that'd be ideal because I really feel like I'm moving better and I'm faster and stronger." At 6-foot-3, Iosivas is already a dangerous target in the red zone, having scored six times on just 36 catches in 2024. If Iosivas' claim that his added size and strength hasn't negatively impacted his quickness translates to on-field activities, he'll be primed to enter Year 3 as significant ancillary complement to top wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, both of whom inked massive long-term deals with Cincinnati in March.

Two catches in win Iosivas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night.

Impact Iosivas remained in a modest role despite the early exit of Tee Higgins due to an ankle injury, finishing with his second lowest reception total since Week 11 and his fewest receiving yards since Week 9. Iosivas did finish the regular season with a career-best 36-479-6 line on 61 targets, and if the Bengals do make the postseason by virtue of a Broncos loss and Dolphins loss or tie Sunday, Iosivas could be due for a bump in opportunity in the wild-card round if Higgins is sidelined.

Three receptions in win Iosivas reeled in three of four targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Broncos.

Impact Iosivas caught three passes for the second straight week, though he wasn't able to find the end zone against as he did in Week 16 against Cleveland. The 25-year-old wideout played 79 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps, behind Ja'Marr Chase and ahead of Tee Higgins, who had snap percentages of 88 and 69 percent, respectively. Iosivas' four targets were well behind Chase (15), Higgins (12) and tight end Mike Gesicki (12). The Princeton product should continue to be an ancillary piece of the Bengals' passing attack, capping his potential for consistent fantasy production. Iosivas is best ignored for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Steelers.

Makes good use of three catches Iosivas brought in all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact Iosivas came down with one of Joe Burrow's touchdown passes, making a six-yard grab just before the midway point of the second quarter to put Cincinnati up by two scores. Iosivas' yardage total was a new career-high figure as well, and he's now posted at least three receptions in four of the last five games. Iosivas will remain a deep-league option in a Week 17 home matchup against the Broncos on Saturday afternoon thanks to Burrow's talent and the Bengals' pass-centric approach.

DECEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One grab in win Iosivas secured one of his four targets for five yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans.

Impact Iosivas' five receiving yards Sunday accounted for his lowest total in a game in which he recorded at least one catch. The second-year wideout played 87 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps against the Titans, accounting for his highest snap share over the past five contests. Despite the increased playing time, Iosivas had a quiet day on the field while fellow wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins remained the focal points of Cincinnati's aerial attack. Fully entrenched as the Bengals' No. 3 wide receiver, the Princeton product should not be trusted for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Browns.

Four catches in Week 14 win Iosivas played 48 of the Bengals' 71 snaps on offense and recorded four receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact While Iosivas outproduced No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins (2-23-0 receiving line on five targets), both players took back seats in the passing game to Ja'Marr Chase (7-87-1 on 10 targets) and Chase Brown (4-43-1 on six targets). Brown's passing-game role may be more volatile from week to week, but Chase is the Bengals' clear No. 1 option, and Higgins' poor showing in Week 14 looks to be more of an outlier performance. Even in a prolific passing attack, Iosivas doesn't look like he'll be able to carve out consistent enough volume to make for an appealing fantasy option in any given week.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits pay dirt against Steelers Iosivas caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Iosivas' touchdown in Week 13 was his fifth of the 2024 campaign, and the Bengals' No. 3 wideout has now recored 23 catches for 309 yards in the 12 games he's played this season. The second-year receiver found the end zone on a three-yard pass from Joe Burrow late in the fourth quarter to bring Cincinnati within one score, but ultimately the Bengals were not unable to get the job done. Iosivas remains difficult to trust for fantasy purposes with such limited volume behind fellow receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The Bengals visit the Cowboys in Week 14.
