Mike Gesicki

Week 16 at Las Vegas Raiders

Mike Gesicki was inactive last week as he deals with a shoulder injury. He's been limited in practice this week and is listed as questionable, so his health is worth monitoring. If he does play, he'll be a strong option considering his success in recent weeks. He's scored in three straight games while maintaining high production in receptions and yards. If active, he'll be a low-end TE1 play in Week 16 against the Raiders (No. 12 aFPA).

Week 13 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Mike Gesicki finished 2-35-1 on five targets last week as Ryan Fitzpatrick took over at quarterback. Gesicki has been fairly consistent lately, finishing between 35-45 receiving yards over his last four games. That's about what you can expect from him in Week 13 against a favorable Bengals defense. Cincy has given up the most total receiving yards to tight ends so far this season. Gesicki can be viewed as a low-end TE1 play in Week 13.

Week 11 at Denver Broncos

Mike Gesicki played on 48% of the offensive snaps last week, his second-lowest number this season. He saw a healthy five targets, but finished 2-40. His tight end partner Durham Smythe played on 67% of the offensive snaps and finished 2-9-1. While Smythe caught the touchdown, Gesicki is the better fantasy option overall as he's averaging 4.6 targets per game compared to Smythe's 1.3. Still, in the three games with Tagovailoa as starter, Gesicki is only averaging two receptions for 30 yards. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 11, but that's mostly because the TE position is shallow with talent. He faces a Broncos defense that has only allowed two touchdowns to tight ends all season.
