Andrei Iosivas Week 2 Outlook - Bengals at Chiefs

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

In his first game of the season, Iosivas disappointed. The training camp hype fell flat quickly. He was a full-time player with a 96% route share, a 20.7% target share, a 24.7% air-yard share, 0.79 YPRR, and a 17.4% first-read share. The problem was simply that he couldn't gain any separation. In Week 1, among 78 qualifying receivers, he ranked 70th in separation and 61st in route win rate. Not good, Bob. Not good at all. Hopefully, better days are ahead for Iosivas once he transitions back to the slot when Tee Higgins returns, but he's a tough player to consider putting in your lineups until he moves back to the slot. Iosivas will run about 73% of his routes against Joshua Williams (2023: 41.4% catch rate and 74.4 passer rating) and Jaylen Watson (2023: 54% catch rate and 104.3 passer rating). Last year, Kansas City allowed the fifth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
