Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Still impressing in practice
Iosivas continues to turn heads in practice, and quarterback Joe Burrow has suggested that the receiver will have a big season, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Iosivas looks like the Bengals' first choice as their No. 3 receiver, well ahead of highly touted rookie Jermaine Burton. That might flip over the course of the season, but Iosivas is the better bet to replicate Tyler Boyd's production.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Good gain on one catch
Iosivas brought in his only target for 23 yards in the Bengals' 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday night.
Iosivas recorded his chunk play on the Bengals' opening possession, carrying over some of the momentum he's been building in training camp practices. The second-year wideout is thought to have a solid chance of securing the No. 3 receiver role long held by the departed Tyler Boyd, but rookie Jermaine Burton, who led Cincinnati's pass catchers with a 3-82-1 line Saturday, is expected to continue making a push for the job over the final two preseason games.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Early favorite for No. 3 job?
Bengals WRs coach Troy Walters recently said Iosivas is "probably No. 3" on the depth chart at the moment, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
With Ja'Marr Chase (contract) not practicing and Tee Higgins being eased in after missing the offseason program, a number of players are getting first-team WR reps early in training camp. Iosivas seems to be at the top of that list, including Wednesday when he exclusively worked from the slot. He doesn't fit the typical slot mold at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, but he'll need some level of comfort there in order to win the No. 3 job, even if Tyler Boyd's offseason departure leads to Chase playing inside more often. While Iosivas was limited to 15 catches and 266 snaps last season after the Bengals drafted him in the sixth round, there's no doubt he has sufficient raw physical tools to succeed in the NFL, having run a 4.43 40 at the 2023 Combine. Incoming third-round pick Jermaine Burton has similar speed (4.45 40) and faced SEC competition rather than Iosivas' Ivy League opponents at Princeton, but Burton isn't quite as big (6-foot, 196 pounds) and seems to be further down the depth chart at the start of training camp. Trenton Irwin and Charlie Jones may also be candidates for the No. 3 job.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Two touchdowns in finale
Iosivas had five catches for 36 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals' Week 18 win over the Browns. He finished his rookie season with 15 catches for 116 yards and four touchdowns, on 25 targets.
Iosivas wasn't used downfield much if at all this season, averaging a depth of target of only 8.1 yards. The Bengals' wide receiver room could undergo significant changes this offseason, however, and that could change Iosivas's role. Tyler Boyd is a free agent, and the Bengals have to decide Tee Higgins's future as well.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Not targeted in loss
Iosivas failed to record a single target in Sunday's 25-17 loss to the Chiefs.
After being targeted eight times in Week 16, Iosivas was a complete nonfactor Sunday. With fellow receiver Ja'Marr Chase returning to action following a shoulder injury, the rookie was relegated to a reserve role and played just 20 of the Bengals' 74 offensive snaps. Iosivas remains off the fantasy radar for a Week 18 matchup with the Browns.

Bengals' Andrei Iosivas: Eight targets in Chase's absence
Iosivas caught four of eight targets for 36 yards in Saturday's 34-11 loss to the Steelers.
With Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) unavailable, Iosivas exceeded two targets and 16 yards for the first time in his career. The 2023 sixth-round draft pick out of Princeton nearly added a 22-yard catch in the third quarter, but it was ruled incomplete after a Pittsburgh challenge. If Chase returns in Week 17 against the Chiefs, Iosivas would likely be relegated to a reserve role behind the trio of Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd.
