Who Should I Start? Andrei Iosivas or Jack Bech

Saturday, November 15, 12:39 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had the best year of his brief career in 2024. Granted, he saw extra attention due to Tee Higgins struggling to stay healthy. Still, many assumed the wideout would play at least a little better this season. However, that hasn't happened, with Iosivas amassing one catch or less in six of his nine appearances. He's coming off his most productive showing of the 2025 campaign, bringing in five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Despite a solid effort, he still has a long way to go before being considered a starting option by fantasy managers. With that said, as long as Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are on the field, Iosivas can't be trusted in any fantasy format. That will likely remain the case even if Higgins or Chase miss time. Keep him out of the lineup for the AFC North showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech did not play a snap in Week 9's loss to Jacksonville. Despite being selected 58th overall out of TCU, he has just seven receptions for 73 yards through eight games. With Jakobi Meyers traded to Jacksonville, Bech is positioned to see increased snaps moving forward. In the one game Meyers missed this season, Bech logged a season-high 63% snap share. That increased opportunity may not translate into fantasy value this week. Denver has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, making this a difficult matchup to expect meaningful production. Bech is worth monitoring on Thursday night, but he should remain on waivers in all formats for now.
