Andrei Iosivas News
Tuesday, August 4, 6:28 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Anddei Iosivas has spent his three-year career with the Bengals and, through three seasons, has yet to top 500 yards in a single season. Iosivas was a sixth-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft, and while he has 12 touchdowns over the past three years, he simply isn't involved in the offensive game plan behind superstar Ja'Marr Chase, standout receiver Tee Higgins, and running back Chase Brown in this Joe Burrow-led offense. In 2025, he had a 9.6 percent target share (89th among WRs), a 77.7 percent route participation (50th among WRs), and 40 first-read targets (65th among WRs). Because of that, his productivity and efficiency followed suit, ranking 96th in targets per route run and 93rd in first downs per route run. The only value Iosivas has is if Chase or Higgins were to miss any time. Fantasy managers will want to fade the 26-year-old receiver in their upcoming drafts in both dynasty and redraft formats.

Xavier Legette News
Monday, August 10, 6:16 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (neck) was back at practice on Sunday after suffering a stinger while hauling in a touchdown catch and leaving Tuesday's practice on a cart. The third-year player was a full participant in what was one of the more intense sessions of the summer, according to team reporter Kassidy Hill. With 2026 third-round pick Chris Brazzell II (knee) already ruled out for the entirety of his rookie season after tearing his LCL in the early days of training camp, Legette's presence becomes all the more important as the potential third receiver alongside Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. Head coach Dave Canales has indicated that he will play his starters in Saturday's next preseason matchup with the Bills, and barring any setbacks, Legette, who is RotoBaller's WR109, should be a part of that group.
