Andrei Iosivas Facing New Competition for Bengals' WR3 Role After NFL Draft

Sunday, April 26, 9:19 AM

Across 17 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas recorded 33 receptions for 435 yards and two touchdowns on 58 targets. Over the past two seasons, the 26-year-old has established himself as the clear WR3 in Cincinnati behind star wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. When both Chase and Higgins are healthy, Iosivas does not have a clear path to consistent fantasy production. However, Higgins has missed 12 games over the past three seasons, which has periodically opened up opportunities for Iosivas. In the 2026 NFL Draft, Cincinnati used a fourth-round pick on talented Georgia wide receiver Colbie Young. While Young is far from a lock to beat out Iosivas for the Bengals WR3 role, Iosivas could now face yet another impediment to fantasy-relevant target opportunity in Cincinnati. As he heads into his fourth NFL season, Iosivas' dynasty value would likely be improved by a change in scenery.

Troy Franklin News

Dynasty Expectations Low for Troy Franklin

Thursday, April 30, 5:37 AM

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin was one of the more hyped prospects coming out of Oregon and early in the pre-draft process heading into the 2024 NFL Draft. Most of that hype went by the wayside when he fell to the fourth round and Denver made him the 103rd overall pick, but he still had his believers in dynasty circles. After two inconsistent seasons, and with the Broncos continuing to add target competition, first by selecting Pat Bryant in the third round of the 2025 Draft and then by shipping out first and third-round picks for Jaylen Waddle, Franklin has fallen to WR73 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings. Franklin has shown sporadic flashes on his way to 992 career yards and eight touchdowns, but the wide receiver room in Denver has grown crowded, and with three capable running backs in J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, and now fourth-round pick Jonah Coleman, consistent upside will be hard to come by in more of a complementary role.
