STM Take

A depth receiver who only matters when the alphas sit.

The case for

  • Princeton 4.43 forty at 6'3"/205 is a real Ivy-to-NFL combine workout story. Three seasons of survival on a Bengals roster confirms the per-snap value is above the UDFA baseline.
  • Wks 12-13 2025 produced 10.6 and 9.9 PPR. 6'3"/205 frame plus the route discipline (Princeton coaches) gives him a defined boundary WR profile.

The worry

  • Three tier 8 finishes with the 2024 spike outlier; the 2025 regression confirms the role is permanently WR3/4.
  • Ja'Marr Chase plus Tee Higgins absorb the high-leverage targets. Five sub-5 PPR weeks in his 2025 sample (3, 3.1, 0, 3.7, 5) shows the floor when both alphas are healthy.

What to watch: Whether Tee Higgins's contract status (extension or departure in 2026) opens a defined WR3 role.

Full take and bio

Three straight tier 8 finishes (#113, #74, #96) reflect the role: depth WR who gets meaningful snaps only when Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins miss time. The 2025 game log has two double-digit spikes (Wk 12 10.6, Wk 13 9.9) but mostly sub-6 PPR weeks. He is a defined WR4 in a room with no path to expansion unless an injury opens it.

Iosivas came out of Princeton as Cincinnati's 6th-round pick (206th overall) in 2023, one of the rare Ivy League WRs drafted in the modern era. He combined a 4.43 forty with 6'3"/205 frame at the combine, an athletic profile that pushed his stock above his Ivy production line. His rookie 2023 was buried (tier 8 #113), 2024 produced a meaningful jump to tier 8 #74 with 36 catches in spot duty, and 2025 settled back to tier 8 #96 as Tee Higgins's return absorbed his targets.
