Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki had four receptions for 30 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Gesicki was targeted nine times.

Fantasy Spin: With Tee Higgins (quad) out for a third straight week, and the NFL's last-ranked pass defense on the other side, the stars seemed to be aligning for Gesicki, who'd averaged 5.5 receptions, 71 yards, and 0.5 TDs in the previous four games missed by Higgins. Instead, he posted a 4-30-0 line and took a backseat to Tanner Hudson. Gesicki would still offer some value if Higgins is sidelined again in Week 11, but if the star wideout is back, Gesicki is better ticketed for your bench.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had four catches for 30 yards in Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran had two touchdowns in the win over the Raiders in Week 9. However, he cooled off significantly on Thursday. Granted, he had nine targets from Joe Burrow. Still, fantasy managers were disappointed with the end result. With the Bengals sitting on a 4-6 record, the team will look to rebound in Week 11 against a capable Chargers defense. Gesicki should be viewed as a risky, high-upside fantasy option for that one, although his outlook won't be as favorable if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) is back on the field.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki has been on a roll of late. After amassing seven grabs in the Week 8 loss to the Eagles, the 29-year-old had five catches for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Raiders. With that in mind, Gesicki has had issues staying consistent through the years, so he's hard to trust on Thursday night versus the Ravens, even if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) remains on the shelf. Still, Gesicki has a place in multi-tight end setups in a favorable matchup against a subpar Ravens defense.

Bengals' TE Mike Gesicki scored 27.00 fantasy points in Sunday's Week 9 win against the Raiders. Gesicki caught five passes for 100 yards with two touchdowns.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had five catches (six targets) for 100 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Raiders. The veteran looked good in the Week 8 loss to the Eagles, amassing seven grabs for 73 yards. Some doubted whether Gesicki could keep it going in Week 9. However, he continues to get it done, so he should remain at least a flex option in Thursday's AFC North showdown with the Ravens, especially if Tee Higgins (quadriceps) remains out.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught five of his six targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns in a 41-24 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki found the end zone for the first time this season, and he continues to step up whenever Tee Higgins is sidelined. If Higgins misses the Week 10 contest, Gesicki is a legitimate TE1 option.

From TheHuddle

Bengals' TE Mike Gesicki had 5 receptions for 100 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's win against the Raiders.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki could again see a large target share in Week 9 when his team lines up against the Las Vegas Raiders at home. The 29-year-old veteran hasn't been the most consistent option this season but has produced two useful spike weeks thus far in his first year as a Bengal, correlating with wide receiver Tee Higgins (quad) missing time. With Higgins listed as doubtful for Sunday, the door is again open for Gesicki to see an increased role in the offense. The Raiders have been decent against opposing passing attacks this season, so it isn't exactly the best matchup. Still, Joe Burrow and the Bengals throw the rock 61.4% of the time (sixth-highest in the league), so the opportunities should be there if Higgins fails to suit up. The former Penn State Nittany Lion is RotoBaller's PPR TE17 in this week's ranks.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught seven passes for 73 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki had one of his best games of the season against the Eagles but may lose some targets next week if Tee Higgins returns to the lineup. He can become a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues if he becomes more involved in the passing game.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki finished Sunday's matchup with the Eagles by catching seven of his eight targets for 73 yards. With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) ruled out ahead of this one, most assumed Andrei Iosivas would benefit the most. However, that wasn't the case, with Gesicki leading his team in receiving yards to end the week. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to get the Bengals to .500. Without question, Gesicki will be trending after his performance in Week 8. But unless Higgins is ruled out for the Week 9 clash with the Raiders, Gesicki isn't the safest fantasy option.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki had a single 2-yard reception on his lone target in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki's biggest contribution might have been covering an onside kick by the Browns in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, securing the win. That doesn't do anything for fantasy managers, though. He is best used as a low-end TE2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) has been cleared to play in the Week 6 contest against the New York Giants on Sunday Night Football in Week 6. Gesicki's status for this weekend's game was in question after he didn't suit up for practice on Wednesday, but he returned a day later and was removed from the final injury report on Friday. He will officially be in play on Sunday night as a TE2 for fantasy managers in an offense with a lot of mouths to feed through the air. So far through the first five weeks of 2024, the 29-year-old has a total of 17 catches on 21 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns. Gesicki posted season-highs in catches (seven) and receiving yards (91) back in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but that was also when receiver Tee Higgins was still out with a hamstring injury. The Giants defense has yet to allow a touchdown to a tight end this year.

Cincinnati Bengals CB D.J. Ivey (knee) practiced in full all week but is listed as doubtful for Week 6 versus the New York Giants. RB Chase Brown (quad) was limited in practice for a second straight day on Friday, Oct. 11, and is listed as questionable. CB Mike Hilton (knee) practiced in full all week but is also listed as questionable. QB Joe Burrow (wrist), TE Mike Gesicki (hamstring), DT Kris Jenkins (thumb), DT Sheldon Rankins (hamstring), OT Amarius Mims (calf), RB Zack Moss (foot) and DE Joseph Ossai (shoulder) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday but returned to a limited session on Thursday. Gesicki's status is still up in the air for Week 6 against the New York Giants on Sunday night, but his return to practice on Thursday is a good sign for his availability this weekend. If the 29-year-old carries a questionable status into the weekend, he'll be a much more risky fantasy play on Sunday night. In his first year with the Bengals, Gesicki has caught 17 of his 21 targets for 178 yards and no touchdowns through his first five games. He's currently the TE15 in half-PPR scoring and will most likely need to find the end zone to jump up into TE1 territory. If Gesicki doesn't end up playing in Week 6 or is limited, rookie Erick All Jr. would likely work as the primary pass-catching tight end and would have more TE2 streaming appeal.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 10.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki seems to have a chance to play this week, but fantasy players will know more in the next few days. He will see a few targets if he plays but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. As the Bengals prepare for Week 6 against the New York Giants, there's a real chance they could be without their starting veteran tight end. Gesicki has 17 catches and 178 yards this year, but most of that production came over the first three weeks. His role has been drastically scaled back over the last two weeks, and now, it looks like he could be sidelined for Week 6. If so, rookie Erick All Jr., who has 14 catches through his last four games, would jump into the mid-to-low TE2 tier for fantasy football.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 9.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki may be in danger of missing the Week 6 game if he does not take part in either of the final two practices of the week. He has played well at times this season, but fantasy players may want to look for other options to use this week.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki ended up with two catches for 31 yards on his two targets in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki had a big-time fantasy performance in Kansas City in Week 2, but the rest of his stat lines have been either poor or just mediocre. He has TE1 ability in fantasy leagues for his work in the red-zone, but so far he hasn't realized that potential in Cincinnati. He has zero scores, and remains more of a TE2 in most formats.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki had one lone catch for minus-9 yards on his only target in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki flirted with 100 yards in Week 2, and he had at least three receptions in each of his first three games to produce borderline low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 numbers in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. This was a disaster, and he'll look to bounce back in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens in what should be a tough matchup.

From TheHuddle

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki was able to stay involved during last week's loss to the Washington Commanders. Gesicki hauled in four of his five targets for 47 yards in the loss. The veteran tight end has seen four or more targets in every game this season. He's not going to see a huge volume of work considering the Bengals have plenty of weapons at wide receiver. However, Gesicki should remain involved enough that he holds TE2 value against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4.
