Mike Gesicki at Miami — Surging red-zone role offers streaming upside against former team
Mike Gesicki enters Week 5 healthy and increasingly trusted in Cincinnati's passing attack, having caught a touchdown in each of his last two contests. Although listed as the second tight end behind Drew Sample, Gesicki functions primarily as a detached pass catcher. With starting wide receivers Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase both banged up in practice, Joe Burrow could look to Gesicki even more over the middle of the field.
His roster rate has spiked near 49% as fantasy managers chase his recent scoring streak. Our models project him for about 3.2 receptions, 35 yards, and 8.6 fantasy points against a winless Miami squad. If Cincinnati's wide receiver corps is thinned out, Gesicki profiles as a viable streaming option with touchdown-dependent TE1 upside.

George Pickens vs. Tampa Bay — Primed for Big Plays in Favorable Home Matchup
Pickens remains locked into his starting perimeter role opposite CeeDee Lamb as Dallas hosts Tampa Bay. While he has seen a modest 14 targets over his last two games, he continues to generate high-leverage looks downfield, having set up two touchdowns with explosive catches in his previous outing.
In an inviting home matchup featuring solid scoring upside, our weekly projection slots Pickens for approximately 4 receptions on 7 targets for 64 yards. Started in 93% of leagues and boasting weekly touchdown upside, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups as a solid WR2.
