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.

Outlook Emeka Egbuka

Emeka Egbuka at Dallas — Target volume upside in a potential trailing script

Fully healthy and established as a starting outside receiver for Tampa Bay, Egbuka continues to see consistent opportunities. With fellow wideout Jalen McMillan sidelined on injured reserve, targets remain concentrated near the top of the depth chart alongside Chris Godwin Jr. However, fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on quarterback Baker Mayfield, who is nursing a thumb injury on a short week.

Our weekly projection expects Egbuka to post around 4 catches, 46 receiving yards, and 11.2 fantasy points. As 8.5-point road underdogs against Dallas, the winless Buccaneers will likely be forced into a pass-heavy game script, making Egbuka a solid WR3/Flex starter despite his recent dip to a 63% start rate.
