Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had three catches for 37 yards in the Week 15 win over the Titans. Unfortunately, that type of showing has been the norm for the 29-year-old nearly all season. Granted, he has had a few potent fantasy showings. However, with 45 catches for 497 yards during the 2024-25 campaign, Gesicki can't be trusted from a fantasy standpoint, although managers in need can plug him in and hope for the best against a Browns defense that has struggled against opposing tight ends all year.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had three catches for 37 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. The 29-year-old had three receptions for 24 yards in the Monday night victory over the Dallas Cowboys. While he played better in this one, it still wasn't good enough, especially for those in the hunt for a fantasy football championship. With his last trip to the end zone last occurring against the Raiders in early November, Gesicki will be tough to trust in the Week 16 AFC North clash with the Browns.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki should be viewed as a risky tight end and should only be deployed in deeper 14+ team formats this weekend, facing the Tennessee Titans. After enjoying a solid start to the campaign, the veteran has taken a step back over the past few weeks. Over his past four games, he has averaged just 5.7 PPR points per game with 3.0 receptions per contest. However, he still sees a solid 4.8 targets per game, suggesting brighter days may be ahead. Since scoring 27.0 PPR points during Week 9, Gesicki has only eclipsed double-digit PPR points on one occasion. Facing the Titans, who have allowed the ninth-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends, fantasy managers should only view him as a desperation play on Sunday, given his lack of stable production this season.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught all three of his targets for 24 receiving yards during Monday's Week 14 win over the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran now has eight catches over his last two contests, but he's still just the overall TE19 in fantasy football during that span. Over the course of the full season, Gesicki ranks as the overall TE18. It's promising to see him continue to develop his rapport with Joe Burrow, but there's no question that his productivity continues to be overshadowed by Ja'Marr Chase's exceptional performances, seemingly every week. Gesicki should be viewed as a fringe top-18 fantasy tight end heading into Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki should be considered a TE2 option in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran tight end's usage has been unpredictable, drawing five catches while playing fewer than half of Cincinnati's snaps last week, yet managing four total catches in the two prior weeks despite more playing time in both games. Dallas has struggled overall, but has been middle-of-the-pack against fantasy tight ends. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow loves his tight ends, but with receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins likely to command targets and running back Chase Brown an involved pass-catcher as well, playing Gesicki comes with some risk.
