Bengals Open Practice Window for Andrei Iosivas on Thursday

Thursday, November 12, 6:43 AM

The Cincinnati Bengals opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Andrei Iosivas on Thursday, according to Jay Morrison of BengalsTalk.com. Iosivas has made good progress after undergoing left-thumb surgery and will return to practice on Thursday, but it remains to be seen if two days of practice will be enough for the 27-year-old to gain clearance to officially be activated from Injured Reserve to play in Week 10 on Sunday night against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Iosivas has been out since being put on IR on Sept. 26, and in his absence, Donte Meyers has been serving as the No. 3 receiver behind stars Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. With tight end Mike Gesicki taking on an expanded role as well, Iosivas might be the No. 4 option, at best, when he comes off IR and rejoins Cincy's offense, which means he should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy football leagues. In two games this year before injuring his thumb, the former sixth-rounder from Princeton caught just three passes for 19 yards.

Troy Franklin Still Waiting for Targets Entering Week 5

Saturday, October 10, 9:54 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin could be in line for more playing time Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers after Pat Bryant (ankle) landed on injured reserve. The problem is that Franklin has already been getting snaps without seeing much of the football. He played 30 offensive snaps against San Francisco last week, more than Bryant or Marvin Mims Jr., but wasn't targeted once. Franklin has only two catches for 48 yards on four targets through Week 4, a sharp drop from last season's 65 receptions for 709 yards and six touchdowns. Sean Payton taking back the play-calling duties adds another wrinkle to Denver's offense, and the Chargers will be without Donte Jackson (hamstring) and Derwin James (hamstring) in their secondary. Neither development changes the fact that Jaylen Waddle and Courtland Sutton remain ahead of Franklin for receiving work. RotoBaller has him at WR66 in its updated Week 5 rankings. Until the targets start coming, Franklin belongs on fantasy benches even in most deeper leagues.
