Collin Johnson, Mike Gesicki and the players benefitting from a QB change Collin Johnson and Denzel Mims are just two of the players who benefit from a change at QB. Brandon Howard dives into the ones to watch.
Ends scoring drought Gesicki caught two of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-3 win over the Jets.
Impact Gesicki salvaged his fantasy day with a score in the second quarter (his first since Week 3), but he's now logged five consecutive games with under 50 receiving yards. Still, the third-year tight end has also now drawn 15 targets over the last three weeks, so his involvement on offense has been encouraging. Whether Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) gets healthy in time to return Week 13 versus Cincinnati or Ryan Fitzpatrick draws another start, Gesicki's favorable matchup will make him a tempting streaming option.

Mike Gesicki Goes UP to Secure the TD!

Modest numbers in Denver Gesicki caught four of five targets for 43 yards during Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.
Impact Gesicki's actually notched his third highest yardage total of the season in Denver, which is emblematic of the fact that outside of two 'boom' games (Weeks 2 and 5) the athletic tight end hasn't been too productive for fantasy purposes. Still, Gesicki has now gone three straight games with at least 40 yards and four targets, so he appears to have begun to manufacture a stable floor. He'll get a favorable road matchup against the Jets in Week 12.

Pair of robust grabs in win Gesicki secured two of five targets for 40 yards in the Dolphins' 29-21 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Impact The athletic tight end notched receptions of 23 and 17 yards on his way to posting the second-highest receiving yardage tally for the Dolphins on the afternoon. Gesicki has shown good chemistry with rookie signal caller Tua Tagovailoa thus far, posting a 5-82 line nine targets in the quarterback's first two starts. Gesicki will look to play an even bigger role in a Week 11 road battle against the Broncos.

Catches three of four targets Gesicki caught three of four targets for 42 yards during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.
Impact Gesicki finished third on the team in targets and receiving yards as he came through with his best output since Week 5. His long gain of 19 yards was his third-longest of the season and he recorded multiple catches for just the second time in his last six games. Although Gesicki's fantasy production has been rather sporadic this season, he could benefit from Tua Tagovailoa's ascendence moving forward. His next chance to produce will come Sunday against a Chargers team that has been susceptible to opposing tight ends this season.

Barely produces versus Rams Gesicki caught one of two targets for eight yards during Sunday's 28-17 win over the Rams.
Impact Gesicki's lack of offensive involvement was in large part by design, as Miami's defense and special teams both managed to account for touchdowns, and Los Angeles' offense wasn't able to move consistently at any point. It's worth noting, however, that this was Gesicki's fourth game of the year with one or fewer catches. Until such time as he proves to have established a consistent connection with rookie signal-caller Tua Tagovailoa, Gesicki can be considered a boom-or-bust fantasy option.

Held without a catch by Jets Gesicki failed to secure either of his two targets during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Jets.
Impact Gesicki's total lack of involvement came, to the beguilement of fantasy managers, on a day where fellow tight ends Adam Shaheen (3-51-1) and Durham Smythe (1-2-1) both got into the end zone. The third-year pro now has four games this season with thirty or less receiving yards compared to just two breakout performances (130 yards and a score Week 2 and 91 yards Week 5). Gesicki is quietly shaping up to be a boom-or-bust fantasy option, though it's also worth noting that the Dolphins never had to play catch up during Sunday's blowout divisional win.

Produces 91 yards in victory Gesicki caught five of six targets for 91 yards during Sunday's 43-17 win over the 49ers.
Impact Gesicki finished second on the team in targets and receiving yards while posting his second-best totals of the season in both categories. He averaged an impressive 18.2 yards per reception and pleased fantasy owners by bouncing back after totaling just two catches for 30 yards over his previous two games. Gesicki will look to build on this productive outing in a seemingly favorable matchup next Sunday against the Broncos.

Shut down by Seahawks Gesicki caught one of three targets for 15 yards during Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Gesicki has now been limited to just one catch for 15 yards in back-to-back games, having drawn three targets in both. He ran 36 routes Sunday, so a lack of playing time wasn't to blame for the disappointing statline, but rather that Seattle's defensive coverage encouraged Ryan Fitzpatrick to hone in on DeVante Parker (12 targets) and Isaiah Ford (10 targets) in the passing game. Gesicki faces tough odds of bouncing back Week 5 against a 49ers squad that recently shut down Evan Engram and Zach Ertz.
