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.

Matthew Golden vs CHI at Home — Breakout Role Keeps Rolling

Golden has firmly established himself as a focal point in Green Bay's passing attack, hauling in touchdowns in back-to-back games while earning 19 targets over his past two contests. With Jayden Reed out, Golden operates as the Packers' clear primary perimeter target, and his start rate has surged to over 70% as fantasy managers take notice of his expanded role.

Facing a divisional rival at Lambeau Field, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a solid WR2 or Flex option. Our models project him for approximately seven targets and 52 receiving yards (12.1 fantasy points), offering a reliable floor bolstered by growing red-zone trust.
