Andrei Iosivas Not on the Fantasy Radar in Any Draft Formats

Thursday, August 13, 6:42 PM

Cincinnati Bengals 26-year-old wide receiver Andrei Iosivas enters his fourth NFL season as the projected No. 3 receiver in this lethal Bengals passing attack. Over his first three seasons with the Bengals, he has earned 144 targets, hauled in 84 of them for 1,030 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Over a three-year span, that is nothing to write home about, and he is clearly an afterthought when you are behind guys like Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase. 2025 was his lowest touchdown production since entering the league, with only two, after he had six in 2024 and four in 2023. The only real path for Iosivas to be fantasy relevant is if one of those receivers were to get hurt, and even then, he would be viewed as a low-end WR3 at best. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the WR90, and that's after he finished the 2025 season as the WR58.

Germie Bernard News

Germie Bernard Stands Out in Preseason Victory

Thursday, August 13, 7:32 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard hauled in four of five targets for 51 receiving yards in a 28-9 preseason win over the Green Bay Packers. Bernard, a second-round pick in this year's NFL Draft, saw time with the first-team offense and immediately looked the part. He caught quarterback Mason Rudolph's first pass attempt and later impressed with a 25-yard catch-and-run that saw him shed multiple defenders. Bernard nearly scored a touchdown early in the second quarter but couldn't get his second foot in bounds despite a valiant effort. The Alabama product is unlikely to be drafted in many fantasy formats this fall, but he is a name to monitor as the season progresses given the uncertainty surrounding the Steelers' wide receiver room behind DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. He'll get his next preseason action against the New York Jets next Friday.
