Mike Gesicki - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Four grabs in loss Gesicki caught four of his five targets for 47 yards in Monday's 38-33 loss to the Commanders.

Impact Gesicki continued to be involved Monday, seeing a solid five targets in the contest. The veteran tight end has now seen at least four targets in each of the first three games. Gesicki also led all tight ends in playing time, playing 31 of the team's offensive snaps ahead of Drew Sample (25) and Erick All (21). The 28-year-old should continue to be involved in Week 4 when the Bengals visit the Panthers.

QB Joe Burrow says it's a 'luxury' for the Bengals to have so many pass-catching tight ends

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow says it's a “luxury” to have so many versatile tight ends in the offense

SEPTEMBER 22 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

All set for Monday Gesicki (calf) does not carry an injury designation for Monday's contest against the Commanders, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gesicki was a full participant in Saturday's practice clearing the way for the tight end to play Monday. The 28-year-old was a revelation in Week 2 recording seven receptions on nine targets for 91 yards in the loss, but that workload could shift with the return of Tee Higgins (hamstring), who will be making his season debut Monday.

Status quo with limited practice Gesicki (calf) remained limited in practice Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gesicki has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions as the Bengals prepare to face the Commanders on Monday. He'll look to raise his participation and avoid Saturday's injury report altogether, which would be a relief for Gesicki's fantasy managers, as alternatives will be limited for those relying on Gesicki to fill a lineup spot Monday.

Limited due to calf issue Gesicki (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gesicki is nursing a calf injury heading into a Monday night matchup against the Commanders, but it's encouraging to see him practicing in at least a limited fashion. The tight end has drawn 13 targets in his two games wearing a Bengals uniform, highlighted by a 7-91-0 performance Week 2 against the Chiefs. It's worth noting though that if Tee Higgins (hamstring), who was also limited in practice Thursday, manages to return Week 3, he could eat into Gesicki's target opportunities.

Delivers despite taking loss Gesicki hauled in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Gesicki rebounded from a lackluster Week 1 performance to provide faithful managers with a strong receiving line against a tough defensive unit. The newly-signed tight end could wind up being a great fit as an auxiliary option for superstar QB Joe Burrow as this offense continues to progress following a tumultuous offseason. Gesicki remains a mid-range option in fantasy heading into a matchup against the Commanders on Monday Night Football.

Delivers despite taking loss Gesicki hauled in seven of nine targets for 91 yards in Sunday's 26-25 loss to the Chiefs.

SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal production in loss Gesicki caught three of his four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Gesicki played the second-most offensive snaps (18) of any Bengals tight end behind Drew Sample who finished the contest with 27 snaps. He did, however, see the most targets of any tight end for Cincinnati. The entire Bengals offense struggled Sunday, so Gesicki's limited production was not overly surprising. The veteran will look to be more involved as Cincinnati tries to turn things around against the Chiefs in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE

Plays in preseason loss Gesicki (undisclosed) played eight offensive snaps during Saturday's 17-14 preseason loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Gesicki missed some practice reps last week due to tightness, but he was cleared to suit up for a handful of plays during Cincinnati's preseason opener. He didn't record any stats during the exhibition matchup, but that means little in such a small sample. Gesicki is competing to solidify himself as the clear top pass-catching option in Cincinnati's tight end room, and his next chance to showcase his talents in preseason action will come Saturday on the road against Chicago.

AUGUST 12 • ROTOWIRE

Day-to-day with tightness Coach Zac Taylor said Monday that Gesicki (undisclosed) is managing some tightness and considered day-to-day, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Gesicki has reportedly been building some positive chemistry with new quarterback Joe Burrow at training camp, but it sounds like the tight end could be a candidate to be held out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Buccaneers, if Cincinnati's starters do suit up. Though Gesicki is coming off back-to-back seasons in which he failed to tally 400 receiving yards, there's reason to be optimistic that his athleticism sets up well for a comeback in Cincinnati's passing game, but that will depend on the 28-year-old staying healthy and truly establishing himself as the No. 1 option in the Bengals' tight end room.

Showing chemistry with Burrow Gesicki already seems to have good chemistry with QB Joe Burrow, SI's James Rapien reports.

Impact It sounds like the tight end is getting a lot of first-team reps early in training camp, which wasn't a sure thing after he had only 244 yards for the Patriots last season and then got only $240,000 guaranteed this spring on his one-year, $2.5 million contract with the Bengals. It's backup money by most standards, yet enough to make Gesicki a starting candidate in a TE room where the other veteran options are Drew Sample and Tanner Hudson. The Bengals also have two rookie draft picks, fourth-rounder Erick All (knee) and sixth-rounder Tanner MacLachlan, but Gesicki is shaping up as an early favorite to lead the team's tight ends in targets.
