Mike Gesicki

Week 13 at San Francisco 49ers

Mike Gesicki let fantasy owners down again last week as he finished with a goose egg. The Dolphins tight only saw one target in the matchup, which is the the third time that's happened this season. Gesicki is likely to struggle again in Week 13 against a tough 49ers defense that's allowed the third-fewest average fantasy points to tight ends. Gesicki is outside of our top 20 tight ends in Week 13.

Week 10 vs. Cleveland Browns

Mike Gesicki had a down game last week as he only finished with one catch for three yards on two targets. It's disappointing to see Gesicki only get three yards in a game where Tua Tagovailoa threw for over 300. It's also disappointing because this is now Gesicki's fourth game (out of nine) this season with just one catch. He's had a few good games, but Gesicki's low floor makes him a risky option each week. At this point he's essentially a touchdown dependent tight end. And scoring could be difficult to come by in Week 10 against a Browns defense that's allowed just one touchdown to tight ends this season.

Week 8 at Detroit Lions

Mike Gesicki saw seven targets last week, which only trailed Tyreek Hill on the team. Unfortunately he didn't do a whole lot, finishing 3-27. It's especially notable considering the huge game he had in Week 6. On the season, Gesicki is averaging 2.6 receptions for 28.1 yards with three total touchdowns. He hasn't been great, but it's also a pretty down year for tight ends overall. Gesicki does at least offer some upside, especially this week in a favorable matchup against the Lions who have given up the 5th-most average fantasy points to the position. Gesicki will be a low-end TE1 in Week 8. He'd be a solid streaming option for teams in need, say a Travis Kelce manager needing a bye week replacement.
