The Bengals' tight end situation is a bit of a platoon, but Gesicki is the primary pass-catcher of the group. He saw the first target of the game and showcased his athleticism on a 17-yard reception. Drew Sample, Tanner Hudson, and Charlie Grandy all mixed in, but Gesicki is the receiving option fantasy managers should roster. He is a fantasy TE2 heading into Week 16 against the Browns.
Gesicki played a muted role against the Cowboys as alpha wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase went absolutely ham to the tune of a 14-177-2 receiving line. Both Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample saw increased offensive snaps in this one, which is going to limit Gesicki's upside for the remainder of the season.
