BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andre Iosivas had the perfect opportunity to impress in Week 1, with fellow WR Tee Higgins missing the game and Ja'Marr Chase coming off significant missed practice time and dealing with a case of food poisoning. Iosivas failed to do much of anything, scoring just 5.60 PPR fantasy points.

Iosivas has never shown anything that indicates he's a difference maker, despite some positive reports out of camp. The Bengals also drafted Jermaine Burton in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he should be worked into the offense more as time goes on. It's encouraging that Iosivas played 100% of the snaps, though.
Another potential Iosivas play. His price has gone up even after a subpar statistical game, however the opportunity is there after playing 100% of the snaps and tying Chase for the highest amount of targets. Definitely a game we are prioritizing and it makes other things fit. https://t.co/JgQ0oPps6E

Higgins didn't practice on Friday, so Iosivas at least has one more chance to get things going. But with the Bengals offense putting up a massive stinker against the Patriots, it's safe to question whether any pass catcher other than Chase will be startable on this team in Week 2. Leave Iosivas out of your starting lineups this week.
