Andrei Iosivas

Tee Higgins was out this week, freeing up some work for the Bengals' depth receivers. Despite Mitchell Tinsley seeing nine targets to Iosivas's two, Iosivas ultimately went for more yards and scored the only receiving touchdown for a Cincinnati wide receiver today. Higgins missed five games in 2024. Iosivas only caught eight passes in those games, but he found the end zone three times. Higgins missed this game with a concussion, meaning he could be back for Week 14. Iosivas won't be on the fantasy radar if that happens. He will be a touchdown-or-bust WR6 if Higgins is out again.

With Tee Higgins out because of a concussion this week, Tinsley ultimately operated as the team's No. 2 receiver, just like he did in Week 12. He earned plenty of targets, but the young wideout failed to come up with any of his difficult targets, only bringing in the layups Joe Burrow threw his way. Higgins could be back next week. Even if he isn't, the Bengals will likely try to get Andrei Iosivas more involved after this inefficient performance from Tinsley.

Joe Burrow returned from injury to throw two second-half touchdown passes, sparking the Cincinnati Bengals to a 32-14 win and snapping Baltimore s five-game winning streak. The Ravens unraveled with five turnovers including three by Lamar Jackson and a goal-line fumble by Isaiah Likely allowing Cincinnati to pull away on scoring grabs by Tanner Hudson and Andrei Iosivas.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) won't play against the Ravens on Thursday night, HC Zac Taylor said Monday. Higgins suffered a scary looking concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Patriots and was never going to clear protocol on the short week. Cincinnati gets WR Ja'Marr Chase back this week, and he should dominate targets against Baltimore. But Higgins' absence puts WR Andrei Iosivas and TE Mike Gesicki in play as low-end fantasy options.

With such a short turnaround time to clear protocol and prepare for the Ravens, Higgins has already been ruled out. The star receiver will instead set his sights on clearing concussion protocol in time to suit up for Week 14's game against the Bills. Higgins' absence will create another opening for Andrei Iosivas to have another impactful day after he went for 4-61-0 on seven targets against the Patriots with Ja'Marr Chase suspended.
