Andrei Iosivas News
Monday, August 24, 6:39 AM
Since being drafted by the Cincinnati Bengals in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has enjoyed sporadic success as the team's third receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, inheriting the role from Tyler Boyd after his rookie season. Unsurprisingly, when both Chase and Higgins are healthy and in the lineup, Iosivas has struggled to carve out his own standalone worth, and a strong training camp from fourth-round rookie Colbie Young could see him splitting time in three-receiver sets. Already clinging to the edges of fantasy relevance with the role to himself, the added competition makes Iosivas a player who does not need to be rostered in 2026 redraft leagues, though an injury ahead of him could again see the fourth-year receiver become a waiver wire priority. With a murkier situation than he's seen in past seasons and so much of his value tied to hypotheticals, Iosivas is RotoBaller's WR87.

Malik Benson News
Sunday, August 16, 10:11 AM
Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Malik Benson has earned reps with the first-team offense in training camp, according to head coach Klint Kubiak, per Levi Edwards of the team's official website. "He's earned those reps, but he's got to stay humble and stay hungry," Kubiak said. Benson has looked like the front-runner for the team's WR3 role this summer behind Tre Tucker and Jalen Nailor, although Jack Bech and Dont'e Thornton Jr. could still have something to say about that before the Week 1 regular-season opener rolls around in early September. The 23-year-old was taken in the sixth round in April from the University of Oregon after he caught 43 passes for 719 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games with the Ducks last year. Benson caught two of his four targets for 26 yards on 20 offensive snaps in the team's preseason opener on Thursday against the Arizona Cardinals, also returning a kickoff for 21 yards. For now, Benson is a name to monitor in single-year redraft leagues.
