Outlook Mike Gesicki

Mike Gesicki at Miami — Red-Zone Surge Fuels Streaming Appeal

Gesicki enters Week 5 healthy and operating as Cincinnati's primary pass-catching tight end, despite sitting behind Drew Sample on the depth chart. Over his last two games, he has emerged as a reliable red-zone weapon with touchdowns in consecutive contests. With Andrei Iosivas sidelined and top wideouts Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both questionable, Gesicki could see expanded looks against his former team in Miami.

Our weekly projection slates him for roughly three catches, 30 receiving yards, and 7.7 fantasy points. While rostered in only 18% of leagues, his scoring streak makes him an intriguing play. He profiles as a matchup-dependent streaming option whose fantasy day will largely hinge on whether he finds the end zone again.
