Andrei Iosivas

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas (thumb) is listed as doubtful to play on Sunday Night Football in Week 10 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Iosivas has been out since Sept. 20 due to a thumb injury, and he is unlikely to return this weekend. The 27-year-old's next chance to be activated from Injured Reserve to return to the field will come in Monday night's matchup on the road against the Washington Commanders in Week 11. Iosivas returned to practice on Thursday and was limited in two practices, but it was not enough to convince the coaching staff that he is ready to play in a game. Dohnte Meyers will serve as Cincy's WR3 for another week behind star pass-catchers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. When Iosivas returns to the Bengals offense, he will merely be a WR bench stash in the deepest of fantasy football formats as a distant No. 3 behind Chase and Higgins. In just two games played in 2026, in his fourth year in the league, Iosivas has only three receptions on four targets for 19 yards. He should remain on the waiver wire in the vast majority of leagues in 2026 unless Chase or Higgins miss time with an injury.
