Mike Gesicki at Miami: Revenge Matchup Spotlights Red-Zone Upside

Operating as Cincinnati's primary receiving tight end despite being listed behind Drew Sample on the depth chart, Gesicki has emerged as a trusted weapon for Joe Burrow. Over the last two weeks, he has hauled in six of eight targets for 77 yards and found the end zone in consecutive contests. His recent surge has caused his fantasy roster rate to climb above 50%, reflecting growing confidence in his role.

Facing his former team in Miami, Gesicki steps into an appealing matchup against an 0-4 Dolphins squad. Our weekly projection lands him at 8.5 fantasy points on approximately three catches for 34 yards. While Cincinnati's offense features elite perimeter weapons, Gesicki's dependable red-zone involvement keeps him firmly in play as a viable streaming option.
