Mike Gesicki at Miami — Streaming Value Surging in Favorable Spot

Gesicki has gained momentum with touchdowns in consecutive games and enters Week 5 completely healthy. While Drew Sample handles traditional inline duties, Gesicki functions as Cincinnati's primary receiving tight end. With star wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins both managing recent injuries, Gesicki could see expanded targets against his former team.

Our projections forecast roughly 3 catches for 30 yards and 7.7 fantasy points, but his red-zone involvement provides sneaky ceiling. As fantasy managers take notice—pushing his roster rate near 29%—Gesicki makes for a viable streaming option or flex dart throw against a struggling Dolphins defense.

Keaton Mitchell vs. Denver: Building Momentum as a High-Upside Change of Pace

Mitchell has solidified his spot as the primary change-of-pace option behind Omarion Hampton and is completely removed from last week's minor ankle concern. His workload is expanding, having logged 18 carries and eight receptions on nine targets over his last two games. Although starting left tackle Rashawn Slater is out with an ankle injury, Mitchell's pass-catching ability keeps him on the field even if Los Angeles trails.

Our weekly projection tabs Mitchell for approximately 5.8 fantasy points, anticipating around seven touches for 34 total yards against Denver. With a modest 6% start rate, he remains a bench option in standard leagues rather than a recommended starter. Still, his big-play efficiency and growing target share make him a high-priority bench stash with standalone flex appeal if his volume keeps climbing.
