News: 2 days agoGesicki caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars.

Spin: With Ja'Marr Chase leaving early in the first half with a concussion, Gesicki played an elevated role behind Tee Higgins and Chase Brown in the Cincinnati offense. Gesicki continues to run the vast majority of his routes out of the slot and should remain in that role while Andrei Iosivas (thumb) is on injured reserve. Gesicki has scored a touchdown in three of the first four games to begin the season and is up to 11 catches for 155 yards and the three scores on 15 targets.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: There was an era when Gesicki was a viable starting option in fantasy, but that time has come and gone. Since posting back-to-back top-eight fantasy campaigns in 2020 and 2021, Gesicki has finished 23rd, 37th, 13th and 41st the past four seasons. The latter came during a 2025 campaign in which he was limited to 41 targets in 13 games. Gesicki is no more than a situational seam stretcher and not much of an option near the goal line (he has exactly two TDs and five end zone targets each of the past three seasons). The 30-year-old will be a risky streaming option even if Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins misses time.
