Tanner Hudson

Brown continues to deal with the same injury that has kept him on the sidelines in six of the team's last seven games. He was questionable heading into this one, meaning there's a chance he could suit up for Week 17 against the Broncos, but we'll see how things go throughout the week. In addition to Brown, the Bengals also declared QB Logan Woodside, WR Charlie Jones, TE Tanner Hudson, DE Sam Hubbard, and DE Sheldon Rankins inactive.

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.
