Burrow's "best" 4th option target-wise was Uzomah in 2021.
He had 63 targets.

In most years, Boyd was the 3rd option and had around 80-90 targets.
As he became the 3rd option, he'd be around 700 yards.

Gesicki put up about those same metrics in MIA when he had around that many targets.
He can be the same caliber as a Tyler Boyd type guy if used enough.

At typical 4th option on the Bengals is going to have ~400-500 yards. To me, that's perfect for someone like Iosivas.
Gesicki can get close to that 700 range, which is an ideal 3rd option.
800-1000 is an ideal 2nd option, and 1100+ is top option.

At the end of the day, the Bengals aren't getting a WR better than Iosivas/Burton to come in and become the 3rd WR.
Gesicki, as it stands, is better than both of them.
Gesicki should be the 3rd option and Iosivas/Burton should be 4th option when they are in the game.
When the Bengals run 12 personnel, the other TE should be the 4th option.
