Mike Gesicki at Baltimore — Touchdown-dependent streaming option in potential shootout

Coming off Cincinnati's bye, Mike Gesicki remains a specialized red-zone weapon in the Bengals' tight end rotation alongside Drew Sample. Gesicki found the end zone prior to the break against Miami, giving him four touchdowns on only 12 receptions this season, while Tanner Hudson's recent placement on injured reserve slightly cleans up the position group's targets.

Our weekly projection puts him at 3.3 catches for 35 yards and 8.7 fantasy points against Baltimore. While the matchup carries shootout potential with a 51-point total, Gesicki's minimal target share keeps him as a touchdown-dependent streamer or deep-league tournament option.
