Andrei Iosivas a Sleeper to Watch vs. Steelers

Thursday, October 16, 10:43 AM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas struggled in his first game catching passes from Joe Flacco in Week 6, recording just one reception for five yards and dropping three passes in the loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite the poor performance, Iosivas continues to see strong usage, playing 81% of the offensive snaps and lining up in the slot on 64% of those plays (fifth-highest rate in the NFL). With Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve, there's a chance Iosivas' role in the passing game could expand in the coming weeks. The Bengals face a Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 7 that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. Iosivas needs to clean up his drops, but his snap share and slot usage make him a deep-league dart throw in a favorable matchup.

Luther Burden III Still Off Fantasy Radar Despite Favorable Week 7 Matchup

Saturday, October 18, 12:17 PM

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III continues to struggle to carve out a consistent role in the offense through five games. Burden has just 11 catches for 150 yards and one touchdown, ranking sixth on the team in targets. Despite preseason buzz and speculation that his role would expand after the Week 5 bye, Burden played only 22% of the snaps in Week 6, while Rome Odunze, D.J. Moore, and Olamide Zaccheaus each logged over 85%. He'll face a Saints secondary that's allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Although the matchup is favorable, Burden's limited playing time keeps him off the fantasy radar in Week 7.
