News: 5 days agoGesicki brought in four of nine targets for 30 yards in the Bengals' 35-34 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night.

Spin: 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.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: The seventh-year pro posted uninspiring numbers in New England last season, averaging 3.8 fantasy points per game and scoring only two touchdowns. In Cincinnati, Gesicki will get an upgrade with quarterback Joe Burrow, as he plays the role of the primary pass-catching tight end in 11 personnel sets. Given the receving volume that wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins will demand this season, however, Gesicki has a limited fantasy ceiling and shouldn't be drafted.
