Iosivas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night. Iosivas remained in a modest role despite the early exit of Tee Higgins due to an ankle injury, posting 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, the second-year wideout could be due for a bump in opportunity in the wild-card round if Higgins is sidelined.

Iosivas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night. Iosivas remained in a modest role despite the early exit of Tee Higgins due to an ankle injury, posting 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, the second-year wideout could be due for a bump in opportunity in the wild-card round if Higgins is sidelined.
Iosivas reeled in three of four targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Broncos. Iosivas caught three passes for the second straight week, though he wasn't able to find the end zone again 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.
Iosivas brought in all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday. Iosivas came down with one of Joe Burrow's three 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.
Iosivas secured one of his four targets for five yards in Sunday's 37-27 win over the Titans. 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.
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. 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.
Iosivas caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-38 loss to the Steelers. 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.
Iosivas caught all three of his targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 34-27 loss to the Chargers. Iosivas saw his playing time take a hit Sunday with the return of Tee Higgins to the lineup, but the second-year wideout recorded his highest yardage total since Week 3. Though Iosivas has shown flashes this season, his role as the No. 3 wide receiver with both Ja'Marr Chase and Higgins healthy will limit his potential for consistent fantasy production. The Princeton product would be best left out of fantasy lineups when the Bengals return from their Week 12 bye to face the Steelers in Week 13.
Iosivas recorded two catches on four targets for 29 yards Thursday in a Week 10 loss to the Ravens. Iosivas logged the second-most catches and yards among Cincinnati wideouts in the contest, though his production was nearly unnoticeable compared to Ja'Marr Chase's huge 11-catch, 264-yard, three-touchdown performance. It's also worth noting that two tight ends (Tanner Hudson and Mike Gesicki) registered more targets, catches and yards than Iosivas, as did running back Chase Brown. Iosivas has served as the Bengals' No. 2 wideout over the past three weeks while Tee Higgins has been sidelined due to a quad injury, but Iosivas hasn't done much with the opportunity, totaling just three catches for 39 yards and a touchdown over the three-game span.
Iosivas brought in his only target for a 10-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday. The second-year wideout recorded his fourth touchdown reception of the season on a 10-yard catch late in the second quarter. Iosivas was starting a second consecutive game with Tee Higgins (quadriceps) sidelined, but Sunday's scoring grab was his first reception on a modest five targets in the last three games. Therefore, even if Higgins remains sidelined for a Week 10 road matchup against the Ravens on Thursday night, Iosivas will remain a speculative fantasy option due to his minimal role.
