Who Should I Start? Brandon Johnson or Andrei Iosivas

The Denver Broncos waived wide receiver Brandon Johnson on Tuesday, according to a source. In addition to Johnson, the Broncos also parted ways with Tim Patrick, who quickly signed with the Detroit Lions, Lil'Jordan Humphrey and David Sills to trim their roster down to 53 by the deadline. Johnson improved in Year 2 with Denver last year by catching 19 of his 30 targets for 284 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games (two starts), but he wasn't able to make the final cut this summer after the offseason additions of Josh Reynolds and rookie fourth-rounder Troy Franklin. The 26-year-old rejoin the Broncos practice squad to give the team additional depth during the regular season, though. Johnson joined Denver as an undrafted free agent out of Central Florida in 2022.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas shined in the Week 2 matchup with the Chiefs. Unfortunately, the Bengals lost a close one, courtesy of a Harrison Butker field goal as time expired. Iosivas had only three catches for 26 yards in Week 1 versus the New England Patriots. Although he had only two catches for seven yards in this one, both resulted in a trip to the end zone. With that in mind, nobody can say when Tee Higgins (hamstring) will be back. But if he's not healthy enough to return for the Week 3 clash with the Commanders, Iosivas is at least a flex option in all fantasy formats.
