Who Should I Start? DeAndre Hopkins or Andrei Iosivas

Monday, December 8, 4:05 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team needs to get veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins more involved on offense, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. In a tough 27-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers to give up a share of first place in the AFC North division, Hopkins was unable to catch his only target on Sunday. The 13 snaps that the 33-year-old veteran played in Week 14 were his lowest snap total since Week 10. Instead, the Ravens leaned more on receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. It will be hard to trust Harbaugh's word going into Baltimore's Week 15 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the matchup is a juicy one. Hopkins hasn't had more than four targets in a game in 2025 and hasn't found the end zone since Week 2.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has gotten extra playing time the last two weeks with Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) and Tee Higgins (concussion) missing time. Iosivas had four catches for 61 yards against the Patriots without Chase, but he only managed one catch for 29 yards against the Ravens. He still had a solid fantasy day, though, since his 29-yard catch went for a touchdown. With Higgins still in the concussion protocol as the week of preparation begins for the Bengals' trip to Buffalo, Iosivas could be in an expanded role again this week. If Higgins is out again, Iosivas will be a high-risk flex play with good upside since he should be set for more targets once again as Joe Burrow settles in and the Bengals try to make a late playoff push. Until Higgins is cleared, Iosivas still has solid fantasy value and potential.
