Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (calf) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 20.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki is coming off a terrific Week 2 performance, but his status for the upcoming game is still uncertain. Fantasy players an keep an eye on the situation over the next few days because Gesicki could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues if he is cleared to play.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status before his matchup against the Commanders on Monday evening. However, seeing him at practice is a promising sign that the injury is not severe. Last week, the Penn State product caught seven of his nine targets for 91 yards. In the season opener, Gesicki caught three of his four targets. The 28-year-old has emerged as a prominent pass-catcher in this offense while Tee Higgins (hamstring) remains sidelined. Even if Higgins makes his 2024 season debut on Monday, Gesicki should still be viewed as a high-end TE2, given his current role in the Cincinnati offense.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (calf) was limited at practice on Thursday, Sept. 19.

Fantasy Spin: There's been nothing to suggest that Gesicki is in danger of missing Week 3. After a big performance in Week 2, Gesicki is a TE2 play if he suits up.

Cincinnati Bengals DL B.J. Hill (hamstring), TE Tanner Hudson (knee) and DT Sheldon Rankins (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, Sept. 19. In addition, S Vonn Bell (back), TE Mike Gesicki (calf), WR Tee Higgins (hamstring), DT Kris Jenkins (thumb) and OT Amarius Mims (pectoral) were limited and QB Joe Burrow (wrist) practiced in full.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki caught seven of his nine targets for 91 yards in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Spin: Joe Burrow made a concerted effort to get his tight ends involved in this one. None benefited more than Gesicki, who posted his highest catch and yardage totals in nearly three years. There is a chance Gesicki can keep this up (10 catches for 109 yards through two weeks), although part of the reason he has been so active in 2024 is that Tee Higgins (hamstring) has yet to play. With Higgins expected back next week, Gesicki makes for a dicey start in fantasy in Week 3 against the Washington Commanders.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki was solid in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. The veteran had three catches for 18 yards in Week 1 against the Pats. He also nearly had a touchdown, although it was overturned. However, Gesicki made up for that performance by amassing a game-high seven grabs for 91 yards in Week 2. Without question, nobody expects him to be a top fantasy tight end. But with Tee Higgins (hamstring) sidelined, Gesicki could remain more involved. Yet, even when Higgins returns, it appears Gesicki has caught the attention of Joe Burrow, giving him value for Week 3 against the Commanders for fantasy managers looking to fill a void at the position.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki had three receptions for 18 yards on four targets in Week 1 against the New England Patriots. He nearly had a touchdown, but instant replay determined he was unable to hold on in bounds.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (undisclosed) is reportedly dealing with "tightness" and is considered "day-to-day," according to head coach Zac Taylor. While it's never ideal to miss time or be limited in practice, this should not be much of a concern. The veteran from Penn State has racked up 260 receptions for 2,861 yards and 20 touchdowns through his first 98 games with the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots. Although the Bengals selected Erick All Jr. in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft, Gesicki could begin the season as the clear TE1 for quarterback Joe Burrow as All works his way back from a torn ACL and adjusts to the NFL. That said, Gesicki likely has limited upside while competing for targets with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. He is best served as a late-round flier in traditional fantasy leagues and best-ball setups.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (undisclosed) is considered day-to-day because of some tightness, according to head coach Zak Taylor.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki is expected to be used in a 'big slot' role, according to sources Monday, July 15.

Fantasy Spin: Gesicki upgraded his offense this offseason, but the competition for targets is immense. Gesicki probably won't be a consistent option, but he may have some streaming capabilities if he earns a decent target share.

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki 'shifted all around the line of scrimmage' during the offseason program, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki "shifted all around the line of scrimmage" during offseason programs, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Several playmakers within Cincinnati's offense had their versatility on display recently and Gesicki was no exception. The 28-year-old is coming off a 29-catch, 244-yard, and two-touchdown season in New England where he operated behind Hunter Henry. He's due for increased volume in 2024 given that he projects as the Bengals' No. 1 tight end. A versatile skill set would allow him to get on the field even more, and it seems like the Bengals will explore using Gesicki in a variety of ways. It's too early to let this impact his fantasy stock, but he could flirt with the low-end TE2 tier this season.

From RotoBaller

The Cincinnati Bengals selected Iowa tight end Erick All with the No. 115 overall selection in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL draft on Saturday. All will join a tight end corps in Cincinnati that already includes newcomer Mike Gesicki and Drew Sample. All led Iowa in receiving yards (299) and touchdowns (three) last year despite missing half of the year due to a torn ACL. He also had spinal surgery in 2022, so there is a real injury concern with All at the next level. When he's healthy, though, he's an intriguing tight end prospect for a Bengals team that lacks any real big-name player at the position. Even if All is healthy in his rookie year in 2024, it's hard to envision him becoming a major player in an offense that already has plenty of mouths to feed.
