Limited output in Week 18
Iosivas had two catches for 10 yards on three targets in Sunday's loss to the Browns. He ended the season with 33 catches for 435 yards and two touchdowns, falling short of his 2024 production in all three categories.
Analysis: Despite Iosivas playing every game and teammate Tee Higgins missing multiple games due to injury, Iosivas fell short of expectations this season, and not all of that was due to quarterback Joe Burrow missing eight games with a toe injury. The Bengals used fewer sets with wide receivers, but even that doesn't explain the drop-off for Iosivas, who actually played seven more offensive snaps than last season. Nonetheless, he's expected to return for another season as the Bengals' third receiver in…read more

Four grabs in Sunday's rout
Iosivas caught four of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: The third-year wideout finished second on the Bengals in targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, although Iosivas was only fourth in receiving yards. Iosivas has struggled to make a consistent impact in 2025, but he'll head into a Week 18 tilt against the Browns needing six catches and 55 yards to set new career highs in those categories.

Targeted once in win
Iosivas caught his lone target for 21 yards in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: Iosivas played 31 of the Bengals' 61 offensive snaps Sunday, his lowest snap share of the season. Through 15 games, the third-year wideout has recorded just 27 catches for 384 yards and two touchdowns, adding three rushes for 14 yards. Iosivas is not involved in the Bengals' offense enough to be considered for consistent fantasy production, especially with teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both healthy. Next up for the Bengals is a Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals.

Shut out in loss
Iosivas failed to bring in his only target during the Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: This was a hugely disappointing effort considering that the Bengals were playing without Tee Higgins (concussion). The Ravens' pass rush wreaked havoc against quarterback Joe Burrow, and Burrow targeted Ja'Marr Chase nearly every time he dropped back.

Records three catches
Iosivas caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 39-34 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Iosivas was unable to get much going with his limited opportunities Sunday, as the veteran wideout played 65 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps against the Bills. Looking ahead to Week 15, however, the third-year wideout could be in line to see added snaps behind No. 1 wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase with Tee Higgins in concussion protocol. If Higgins is sidelined in Week 15, Iosivas would be a candidate to see an uptick in targets in a home matchup against the Ravens.

Records TD on only catch
Iosivas brought in one of two targets for a 29-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 32-14 win over the Ravens on Thursday night.
Analysis: Iosivas was due for added opportunity in Joe Burrow's return from a nine-game absence due to a toe injury, as Tee Higgins was sidelined due to a concussion. However, the third-year pro surprisingly was out-targeted by No. 3 receiver Mitchell Tinsley, who drew nine looks from Burrow, albeit while turning just two of them into receptions. Nevertheless, Iosivas made excellent use of his one catch, recording his second touchdown of the campaign late in the third quarter to extend a 19-14 lead for…read more

Added opportunities on tap again
With Tee Higgins (concussion) out, Iosivas figures to continue to see an expanded role in the Bengals offense Thursday night against the Ravens.
Analysis: In this past Sunday's loss to the Patriots, while Ja'Marr Chase was serving his one-game suspension, Iosivas logged an 83 percent snap share en route to catching four of his seven targets for a team-high 61 yards. Though Chase is back in the mix, Higgins' absence Thursday should allow Iosivas to remain a key component of Cincinnati's passing offense Week 13, with Mitchell Tinsley also available to see added snaps in the looming return of franchise QB Joe Burrow.

Leading receiver in Week 12 loss
Iosivas caught four of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots. He added five rushing yards on his lone carry.
Analysis: While Tee Higgins (concussion) led Cincinnati with five catches, Iosivas paced the team in receiving yards and was on the other end of Joe Flacco's longest completion of the day at 19 yards. The team's passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return and Ja'Marr Chase having served his one-game suspension, but Iosivas could still operate as the team's No. 2 wideout for a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens if Higgins remains in the concussion protocol.…read more

Iosivas had three catches for 20 yards on four targets in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He played 48 offensive snaps, good for a 74 percent share.
Analysis: With teammate Ja'Marr Chase suspended for Week 12's game against the Patriots, Iosivas could draw more targets, though that will require him to gain more separation on his routes. Mitchell Tinsley might also see an uptick in playing time.

Productive effort in win
Iosivas brought in five of seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for four yards in the Bengals' 47-42 loss to the Bears on Sunday.
Analysis: Iosivas tied a season high in receptions and targets while generating his second-best receiving yardage tally of the campaign. The third-year wideout also recorded his first touchdown of the season at a key moment, making a nine-yard scoring grab with just under a minute remaining to complete a rally from a 41-27 fourth-quarter deficit.

Iosivas failed to secure any of his three targets in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Iosivas was held without a catch for the third time this season despite playing a solid 80 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps Sunday. The 26-year-old continued to operate as Cincinnati's No. 3 wide receiver behind both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, though that role has not led to much fantasy production this season.

One big catch
Iosivas had three catches for 49 yards in Thursday's win over the Steelers on four targets. He dropped one pass early in the game.
Analysis: Iosivas made a big impact late in the third quarter, hauling in a 40-yard reception to convert a 3rd-and-4 play when the Bengals were trying to extend a three-point lead. He's had four-plus targets in three straight games while working primarily behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Iosivas played 70 percent of the offensive snaps Thursday.

Limited output in Week 6
Iosivas recorded just one reception for five yards on four targets in Sunday's 27-18 loss to the Packers. three incompletions all coming on catchable balls.
Analysis: Iosivas' output was disappointing, considering that the other three targets he didn't reel in appeared to be catchable balls. So far, the Bengals have resisted turning to Mitchell Tinsley or Jermaine Burton to replace Iosivas as their No. 3 wideout behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Iosivas hasn't played fewer than 35 snaps in any of the Bengals' six games to date, whereas Tinsley was limited to 10 offensive snaps against the Packers, and Burton has been a healthy inactive for every contest.

Iosivas recorded five receptions on seven targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.
Analysis: Jake Browning took to the air 40 times as Cincinnati tried to fight back from a multi-score deficit for nearly the entire game, though Iosivas didn't wait until garbage time to produce. He drew a target on the team's first offensive possession and had three catches for 37 yards by halftime. He then went on to record a 30-yard reception -- the Bengals' second-longest play from scrimmage -- in the fourth quarter to cap his day.

One grab against Broncos
Iosivas secured his lone target for 22 yards and rushed once for five yards in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: Iosivas played 43 of the Bengals' 48 offensive snaps, behind Ja'Marr Chase (46) and ahead of Tee Higgins (40). The wideout's 90 percent snap share was a high mark so far this season. Through four games, Iosivas has recorded just two catches for 34 yards on six targets.

Reels in one of five targets
Iosivas caught one pass for 12 yards on five targets in Sunday's 31-27 win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Iosivas was more involved this week than in Week 1, but it's still been a battle for him to find the field, particularly with the Bengals running more plays with two tight ends on the field. Though his final stat line wasn't impressive, Iosivas drew a critical pass-interference penalty on Jaguars cornerback Travis Hunter on a 4th-and-5 play in the fourth quarter to extend the Bengals' eventual game-winning drive.

Runs with starters
Iosivas wasn't targeted during Thursday's preseason game at Philadelphia, but he played 11 of 15 snaps with the first-team offense, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Ja'Marr Chase took all 15 snaps, with Higgins and Iosivas getting 11 apiece and Charlie Jones chipping in for three. Noticeably absent was 2024 third-round pick Jermaine Burton, who is said to be doing much better this summer after making a poor impression last year. In any case, Iosivas picked up where he left off last year, having finished 2024 with 61 targets despite ranking 11th among wideouts in routes run (551).

Iosivas, who has been having a strong training camp, per Ben Baby of ESPN.com, turned in another strong effort Wednesday.
Analysis: Iosivas is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded a 36-479-6 line on 61 targets in 17 games while working alongside star WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, who both subsequently signed long-term extensions with the Bengals. While Iosivas is no threat to supplant either of the team's top two options at his position, the third-year player's continued development, in particular in terms of his contested-catch ability -- which was on display during Wednesday's session -- should help…read more

Adds muscle in offseason
Iosivas said Thursday he's added roughly 15 pounds this offseason, bulking up to a weight of 220 as part of his workout regimen, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Analysis: Iosivas officially weighed in at 205 pounds last season but said he usually played at nearer to 207, so his offseason transformation has already been drastic. The 2023 sixth-round pick said he aims to play between 215-220 pounds in 2025, saying "that'd be ideal because I really feel like I'm moving better and I'm faster and stronger." At 6-foot-3, Iosivas is already a dangerous target in the red zone, having scored six times on just 36 catches in 2024. If Iosivas' claim that his added size and…read more

Two catches in win
Iosivas brought in two of three targets for 12 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night.
Analysis: 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.

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.

Makes good use of three catches
Iosivas brought in all three targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: 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.

Four catches in Week 14 win
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.
Analysis: While Iosivas outproduced No. 2 wideout Tee Higgins (2-23-0 line on five targets), both players took back seats in the passing game to Ja'Marr Chase (14-177-2 on 18 targets) and Chase Brown (6-65-1 on eight 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.

Analysis: Iosivas' touchdown was his fifth of the 2024 campaign, and the Bengals' No. 3 wideout has now recorded 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.

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 brought in his only target for a 10-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 41-24 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: 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.

Shut out by Eagles
Iosivas was held catchless in Sunday's Week 8 loss to the Eagles despite playing 51 snaps. He was targeted three times.
Analysis: Iosivas just doesn't get open very often, and that really hurt the Bengals this week with Tee Higgins (quad) out against the Eagles. Instead, the Bengals went more often to tight end Mike Gesicki, who often was lined up in the slot. Even rookie Jermaine Burton chipped in with a big reception in limited reps. Iosivas' hold on the No. 3 receiver job appears tenuous.

Iosivas was held without a catch on one target despite playing 37 offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns.
Analysis: Iosivas wasn't able to gain much separation on his routes, but he also was dragged down by the Bengals' offensive struggles in the first half, and their decision to run the ball nearly exclusively late in the game after they took a two-score lead. Iosivas remains firmly behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the passing-game pecking order, but he continues to work ahead of rookie Jermaine Burton, who hasn't seen a target since Week 2.

The 24-year-old still played 53 of the Bengals' 67 offensive snaps Week 5, behind Ja'Marr Chase (59) but ahead of Higgins (48).

Though the 24-year-old Iosivas will have opportunities for solid performances in the Bengals offense, his role as the No. 3 receiver behind Chase and Higgins limits his potential for consistent production.

Scores on both receptions Sunday
Iosivas scored a pair of short touchdowns and gained seven yards off of two receptions (four targets) in Sunday's 26-25 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Iosivas was used primarily as a finisher on both of Joe Burrow's touchdown drives in Sunday's narrow loss. The sophomore wideout continues to absorb Tee Higgins' (hamstring) targets while the starter mends on the sidelines. If the latter is still inactive for next Monday's tilt against Washington, then Iosivas would generate deep-league appeal in Week 3.

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.
Analysis: 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 WRs coach Troy Walters recently said Iosivas is "probably No. 3" on the depth chart at the moment, Paul Dehner of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: After being targeted eight times in Week 16, Iosivas was a complete nonfactor Sunday.

Analysis: 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.

Iosivas was aware enough to spring onto the fumble and prevent the Vikings from being in position to attempt a game-winning field goal.

Iosivas went without a target while playing seven of 73 snaps on offense in Monday's 34-31 overtime win over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Iosivas remains a core special-teams contributor for the Bengals, but he saw his role on offense get scaled back Week 13 as Cincinnati welcomed fellow wideout Tee Higgins (hamstring/ankle) back from a three-game absence. In the three weeks while Higgins was out, Iosivas logged 41 total snaps on offense and produced a 2-25-0 receiving line on four targets.

Logs full practice Thursday
Iosivas (knee) was listed as a full practice participant Thursday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: After being limited Wednesday, Iosivas is now on track to be available Sunday against the Steelers. Assuming he's active, Iosivas would provide the Bengals with valuable depth at wideout Week 12, especially if Tee Higgins (hamstring) is unavailable this weekend.

Limited in practice by knee injury
Iosivas (knee) was a limited participant in the Bengals' practice Wednesday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Iosivas was able to return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity after missing last week's loss to the Ravens due to a knee injury. With Tee Higgins (hamstring) missing practice once again, Iosivas could see an expanded role against the Steelers if he ends up being able to play.

Won't play Thursday
Iosivas (knee) is listed as out for Thursday's game at Baltimore.
Analysis: Iosivas did not practice at all during the week, so it's no surprise he'll be sitting out in Week 11. In his absence, Cincinnati will likely need to rely more heavily on Trenton Irwin for outside receiver reps.

Not practicing Tuesday
Iosivas (knee) did not participate at practice Tuesday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After being estimated as a nonparticipant Monday, Iosivas officially missed Cincinnati's first practice of the week Tuesday. He'll probably need to return to practice Wednesday to have a shot to play Thursday.

Estimated as non-participant Monday
Iosivas (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Cincinnati's practice estimate Monday, Jay Morrison of Pro Football Network reports.
Analysis: It's not clear at this point when Iosivas sustained the knee injury or how severe it might be. The Bengals' injury reports Tuesday and Wednesday will paint a clearer picture of whether he'll be available for Thursday's game at Baltimore.

Scores again
Iosivas caught his only target Sunday for a two-yard touchdown in the Bengals' win over the Niners.
Analysis: Iosivas managed only 10 snaps with Tee Higgins close to being back at full capacity, but he's at least made an impact the last two weeks. Both of his scores have come on plays where Joe Burrow was able to buy time and have a "free play" due to a penalty on the defense, for what it's worth.

Scores first career touchdown
Iosivas played eight of the Bengals' 54 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Seahawks, reeling in his lone target for a three-yard touchdown.
Analysis: Though he saw 16 fewer snaps than he did a week earlier in Arizona with Tee Higgins (rib) returning from a one-game absence, Iosivas was able to cash in with his first career touchdown. The rookie sixth-round pick out of Princeton is a fixture on special teams and should continue to avoid the inactive list, but his opportunities on offense are likely to be limited moving forward while Higgins, Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin are all healthy.

Yet to carve out role
Iosivas went untargeted on his two snaps on offense in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Through his first two NFL games, the rookie sixth-round pick out of Princeton has logged just three snaps on offense compared to 40 on special teams. While the starting wideout trio of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd are all healthy, Iosivas likely won't be in store for many opportunities on offense during his inaugural NFL campaign.

Scores TD in preseason finale
Iosivas caught three of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 21-19 preseason loss to Washington.
Analysis: The rookie sixth-round pick played with the second- and third-string offenses on a night where the Bengals rested all their starters, scoring the team's first touchdown before playing into the second half. Iosivas seems to be headed for a spot on the Week 1 roster, though he might be limited to special teams if he even plays at all.
