Who Should I Start? Andrei Iosivas or Emeka Egbuka

Saturday, December 13, 1:09 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has only two touchdowns this season after finding the end zone six times in 2024. With Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined heading into the Week 15 game versus Baltimore, Iosivas has gained more attention from fantasy managers in need of a streaming option. Higgins wasn't available in Week 13 against the Ravens, although Iosivas didn't benefit, catching only one pass for 29 yards. Cincinnati and Baltimore will do it again on Sunday. However, despite Higgins' absence, Joe Burrow still has plenty of options at his disposal, meaning Iosivas isn't a lock to see an uptick in targets. While the 26-year-old has a higher upside than normal, he still isn't a safe option. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has struggled to produce any consistent numbers over the last month of the season. Egbuka has finished with 42 receiving yards or fewer in four straight games. His target share has been there, with eight targets or more in seven consecutive contests. Unfortunately, Egbuka and quarterback Baker Mayfield aren't on the same page right now. Egbuka's fantasy value could drop even more going forward with veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) trending in the right direction to return in Week 15. Egbuka figures to lose targets to Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. to close out what has been a strong first NFL season. The rookie wideout has enough big-play potential to warrant a look for the Thursday night matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers might want to temper their expectations for him as a WR3/flex.
