Late-Round Tight End Flier with Red-Zone Upside and Cooling Market Cost
Operating behind Drew Sample on the depth chart, Mike Gesicki enters the season as a secondary pass-catching option in Cincinnati's high-powered offense. Our season projection models him for 44 receptions, 463 yards, and 4 touchdowns, reflecting a reliable yet role-capped ceiling in a crowded offense featuring Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Looking at the draft market, Gesicki's ADP has seen a notable slide from the 285 range earlier in the summer out toward the late 300s in early August. While our internal projections peg him as a backend TE2, this cooling market trend signals that fantasy managers are hesitating on his secondary depth status, making him an affordable late-round dart throw for deeper leagues.
Offseason reports have highlighted his elite pass-catching flash—such as a dazzling one-handed grab in practice—proving his raw skills remain intact. Building on his past productive campaigns with the Bengals, Gesicki retains situational streaming appeal whenever injuries strike the primary pass catchers.
