That said, yards per catch are really not a huge indicator of quality of play so long as you're above the minimum threshold expected of your position. Ja'Marr Chase only had 0.1 higher than Iosivas last year at 13.4. Meanwhile Burton had 26.3 yards per catch. It's largely just a product of how you are being used.

If you want to actually compare him to a good slot guy....
Boyd had a 3.3% drop rate to Iosivas' 8.2%
Boyd had 4.6 yards after the catch per reception to Iosivas' 1.9
Boyd caught 68.1% of his targets (70.6% in the Burrow era) to Iosivas catching just 59.0%

Iosivas' one strength is he is really good inside the 10. Outside of that he's been a really bad WR who just got way too many offensive snaps. I never say that PFF is gospel, but it matches the eye test and the stat test when it says he was the 126th out of 133 WRs last year.

That is fair facts. I suggest one more is needed, TD' per catch Youshi to Boyd. Also, just to remember Boyd was a 2nd round pick and one of the best slot receivers in football. Did't he line up as the #1 at times early in his career versus #2 or slot?
