BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3
ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has served as the No. 2 wideout, while Tee Higgins (hamstring) has missed the first two games of the season.
In the season opener, Iosivas saw six targets but was only able to catch three of them for a modest 26 yards. However, last weekend, Iosivas caught both of his targets, which were both in the back of the end zone.

Higgins returned to practice (in a limited capacity) on Thursday, which could suggest he may be in line to make his 2024 debut on Monday evening.
Even if Higgins is able to suit up, Iosivas is still worth a look as a WR3 in deeper formats. He will face a Washington defense that has struggled to defend the pass, as they have allowed an average of 227.5 yards through the air. In addition, wide receivers Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Malik Nabers all scored over 20.0 PPR points against the Washington defense.
Iosivas should be viewed as solid flex play if Higgins does not play and a high-end WR3 if he does due to the favorable matchup.
