Andrei Iosivas start or sit: Week 13 fantasy football advice

Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season will kick off with a Thanksgiving Day triple-header and the third matchup will be an AFC North showdown featuring the Cincinnati Bengals visiting the Baltimore Ravens at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Bengals dropped its fourth straight game in a 26-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday and that marked the end of Joe Flacco’s run leading the offense with Joe Burrow set to return in tonight’s contest. Wide receiver Andrei Iosivas played a big role for the team in the loss and he’s someone Burrow will have to lean on in this road matchup against the Ravens.

Below, we’ll go over Iosivas’ outlook in fantasy football for Week 13.

Iosivas led the Bengals in receiving in Sunday’s loss to the Pats, catching four of seven targets for 61 yards in the six-point setback at home. His expanded role in that contest came out of necessity with Ja’Marr Chase serving a one-game suspension for spitting on Jalen Ramsey the week prior and he’ll most likely be relied upon again tonight with Tee Higgins in concussion protocol.

With all the attention that the aforementioned wideouts receives for the Bengals, you may not have noticed that Iosivas has been right on the field with them virtually every step of the way. The third-year wideout from Princeton has logged the 15th-most routes run in the NFL, but his meager 10.7% target share is among the lowest for pass-catchers with at least 250 routes run this season. We’ll see if that changes in this divisional clash.

Start. Iosivas has been a reliable No. 3 option for the Bengals this season and Higgins’ absence is the perfect opportunity for him to show that he can handle more targets. A returning Burrow is going to be fired up and he’ll be motivated to light up a Ravens defense that ranks 20th in DVOA vs. WR2’s. I like Iosivas’ upside as a Flex play here and think you should start him.
