Who Should I Start? Andrei Iosivas or Jordan Whittington

Thursday, April 2, 4:37 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has scored 12 touchdowns in his three-year career, topping 430 receiving yards in each of the past two seasons. He's cracked double-digit fantasy points seven times in Half-PPR scoring formats, but only once was he able to string together two such consecutive games, coinciding with a 2024 Tee Higgins injury. The harsh reality for Iosivas is that he is stuck behind one of the best wide receiver duos in the league in Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, and unless either is inactive, there simply aren't enough opportunities for him to carve out any sort of reliable role for fantasy managers. The obvious follow-up is that Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, so Iosivas still holds unique handcuff value in deeper leagues. More often than not, though, it has still been Chase who most benefits from the absence of his running mate.
