2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a five-year stint in Miami that included two seasons over 700 yards, Gesicki struggled last year in New England, posting just 244 yards and two touchdowns despite suiting up for all 17 games. He’ll be looking to bounce back in 2024 on a one-year contract with the Bengals. Blocking isn’t the 6-foot-6 tight end’s strong suit, but Joe Burrow’s likely to capitalize on Gesicki’s receiving ability in a way that Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe weren’t able to last year. The Bengals had four tight ends combine for 115 targets in 2023, Hayden Hurst had the second-most yards of his career with 414 in 2022, and C.J. Uzomah set career highs with 493 yards and five touchdowns in 2021. Gesicki has shown a higher ceiling than those previous Cincinnati TEs and projects to top the depth chart, but his shortcomings as a blocker could keep him off the field in key red-zone situations and cut into his production.

Modest output in loss
Gesicki brought in four of nine targets for 30 yards in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Gesicki was third on the team in targets with a figure that also tied his season high, but unlike other games when Tee Higgins (quadricep) has been sidelined, Gesicki couldn't do much with the opportunity. The veteran tight end's yardage total was his fifth of 30 yards or less this season, and assuming Higgins is back to full health for a Week 11 road matchup against the Chargers on Sunday night, Nov. 17, Gesicki could revert to a much smaller role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Gesicki is an effective pass catcher, but poor blocking skills have cut into his playing time. After topping 700 receiving yards in both 2020 and 2021, he had only 362 yards in 2022 under new coach Mike McDaniel while playing more than half of Miami’s offensive snaps only five times in 17 games. His offseason move to New England is intriguing given the Patriots’ history of TE production, but incumbent Hunter Henry is the more well-rounded player. While Patriots tight ends found the end zone only twice in 2022, the team got 10 TDs out of the position in 2021. Multi-TE sets should be a regular feature under new/old offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, and it won't be surprising if Gesicki plays ahead of Henry in clear passing situations.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be busy again Thursday
Gesicki could be set to play an elevated role again in Thursday's game against the Ravens with receiver Tee Higgins listed as doubtful for the contest due to a quadricep injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If Higgins indeed sits out, it will be his third consecutive absence and fifth overall this season. Gesicki has enjoyed an elevated role in three of the first four games Higgins has been sidelined, logging between six and nine targets in those contests while posting a 19-264-2 receiving line.
