Andrei Iosivas

Andrei Iosivas caught 3-of-6 targets for 26 yards in Week 1 against the Patriots.

Iosivas was a popular start for fantasy managers that were in a pinch on Sunday. While he played all 51 snaps for the Bengals according to PFF, he failed to have a major impact on the game. Iosivas drew a defensive pass interference penalty, though his long catch was for 13 yards. He’s probably not a starting fantasy option in any scenario next week, but he certainly played a lot with Tee Higgins out. It would be interesting to see how much he might play with Higgins in the lineup and if Iosivas would be more effective with the defense having to pay attention to Higgins and potentially more snaps coming from the slot. Iosivas is probably going to be dropped by fantasy managers facing a roster crunch this week, but he’s fine to keep as a bench stash for Week 2’s matchup against the Chiefs on the road.
