Who Should I Start? Noah Brown or Andrei Iosivas

Wednesday, October 15, 12:48 PM

The Washington Commanders announced on Wednesday that they placed wide receiver Noah Brown (groin, knee) on Injured Reserve. After already missing the team's last four games with groin and knee injuries, Brown will now be forced to miss at least four more games and will not be eligible to return until the Week 11 game on Sunday, Nov. 11, against the Miami Dolphins. Washington has also been without top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) for the last several games, leading to Deebo Samuel Sr. getting more work in the offense. With Brown now out for at least another four contests, it means that Luke McCaffrey and rookie Jaylin Lane should have a clear path to more playing time for the foreseeable future, at least until McLaurin is able to return. Brown, 29, caught three of seven targets for 36 yards and no touchdowns in the first two games of 2025 before getting hurt.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught five of his seven targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's thrilling 47-42 loss to the Chicago Bears. Iosivas has had a relatively quiet season as the Bengals' WR3, but has played a role in the offense over the last five weeks with at least three targets in each of those games. The 26-year-old didn't catch any of his three targets in last week's loss to the Jets, but recorded a similar five-catch for 82 yards on seven targets performance in Week 5 against the Lions when Jake Browning was still the starter. Iosivas has also notched at least one reception in all but one game this season. The Bengals' offense has been humming with 41-year-old Joe Flacco as the starter, and on days like Sunday when Flacco attempts 47 passes, there will be opportunities for Iosivas to make plays.
