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.

Just going to throw this in here as a comparison to the other guys who were drafted rd6 or 7 w/at least 400 yds receiving. He may have been thrown into a bigger role than expected, but from who he was and where he came from, i don't know that you could have expected more from the get go. I still expect his role to continue to grow and his numbers to increase though.
