Back in end zone Thursday Gesicki caught one of three targets for a 15-yard touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-13 win over the Jaguars on Thursday.
Impact The third-year tight end was nowhere near as prolific as four days prior against the Bills, but Gesicki still rewarded fantasy managers with his second touchdown grab of the season. The Penn State product may see his reception volume fluctuate depending on game flow, but based on his strong second-half finish in 2019 and early returns this season, it's clear Gesicki's fantasy prospects are on the right trajectory. He'll look to play a bigger role in a Week 4 home matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 4.

Explodes for career-best effort Gesicki secured eight of 11 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 31-28 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact During his rookie season in former head coach Adam Gase's offense, Gesicki bore little resemblance to the player that put up a combined 105 receptions, 1,242 yards and 14 touchdown receptions over his final two college seasons at Penn State. However, the third-year tight end began to pick up steam in the second half of last season, and Sunday, he single-handedly dispelled the notion that tight ends are doomed to minimal roles in coordinator Chan Gailey's scheme. Gesicki paced Miami in receptions, receiving yards and targets, and his one score came with 49 seconds remaining to bring the Dolphins within three points. It remains to be seen if Gesicki's stellar performance is an outlier, but he'll have a chance to quickly follow it up in a Week 3 road matchup against the Jaguars on Thursday night.

Held to three catches in opener Gesiki secured three of five targets for 30 yards during Sunday's 21-11 loss to the Patriots.
Impact Gesicki's lackluster Week 1 production was in line with the rest of Miami's receiving corps, as no pass catcher managed to hit the 50-yard mark against New England. Nonetheless, it's encouraging that the third-year pro did account for every target thrown to the tight end position, with Durham Smythe mixing in as a blocker. Gesicki always possesses weekly touchdown upside, but he looks like a low-floor fantasy option heading into a Week 2 tilt against Buffalo's stout defense.

Sheds injury tag Gesicki (glute) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Impact Gesicki put forth a full practice Friday after having begun the week with two straight limited sessions. He's set to take the field against New England on Sunday and operate as Miami's top receiving tight end, with Durham Smythe primarily mixing in as a blocker.

Turns in limited practice showing Gesicki (glute) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Impact For the second straight day, Gesicki's reps were capped on account of the upper-leg issue. The Dolphins have yet to suggest Gesicki is in any real danger of missing Sunday's season opener at New England, but the tight end will likely need to put in a full workout Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Limited by injury Wednesday Gesicki was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a glute injury, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Gesicki appears to have picked up the injury over the weekend, as he had previously been held out of Saturday's practice. The third-year tight end will have two more chances to practice fully and shed his injury tag before Sunday's season opener against New England, so there's not yet any reason for real concern about his Week 1 availability. With DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Preston Williams (knee) both also beginning the week as limited participants, it'll be worth Miami's entire top trio of pass catchers.
