Mike Gesicki
TE - Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12 Outlook
Availability
Mike Gesicki was unable to corral either of his two targets in a 34-27 loss to the Chargers in Week 11.
Fantasy Impact
Gesicki was shut out in the close loss. As has been the case this season, the veteran tight end has not produced as well when Tee Higgins is on the field. Gesicki heads into his Week 12 bye with 34 catches for 383 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games.
Mike Gesicki caught 4-of-9 targets for 30 yards in Thursday's 35-34 loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
Gesicki had a dominant performance with two touchdowns back in Week 9, but he wasn't able to follow that up with a big game on Thursday. He didn't make the most of his nine targets, and fantasy managers likely aren't satisfied with the 30 yards that he totaled on the night. He's set to lose a lot of work whenever Tee Higgins (quad) makes his return to the lineup for Cincinnati.
Mike Gesicki hauled in five of his six targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ 41-24 Week 9 win over the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Gesicki was a primary option for quarterback Joe Burrow in the Cincinnati passing game Sunday, finishing second in targets and receptions on the day. The tight end will look to stay involved in a Thursday night Week 10 matchup against the Ravens.
Mike Gesicki caught seven of eight targets for 73 yards in the Bengals' 37-17 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Gesicki took advantage of Tee Higgins being ruled out of this game with an injury to the tune of matching his season-high in receptions and second-best yardage total. If Higgins misses Gesicki looks like he will be in play for fantasy, but when he returns, Gesicki will be out of consideration, as he had just four receptions in the previous four games.
Mike Gesicki hauled in his lone target for two yards in the Bengals' Week 7 win against the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
While the Bengals’ passing attack was not on full display for the second consecutive week, Gesicki was minimally involved yet again. He'll eventually produce a respectable fantasy performance similar to his 91-yard game in Week 2 against the Chiefs, but can only be regarded as a desperation TE play in deeper formats.
