2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a five-year stint in Miami that included two seasons over 700 yards, Gesicki struggled last year in New England, posting just 244 yards and two touchdowns despite suiting up for all 17 games. He’ll be looking to bounce back in 2024 on a one-year contract with the Bengals. Blocking isn’t the 6-foot-6 tight end’s strong suit, but Joe Burrow’s likely to capitalize on Gesicki’s receiving ability in a way that Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe weren’t able to last year. The Bengals had four tight ends combine for 115 targets in 2023, Hayden Hurst had the second-most yards of his career with 414 in 2022, and C.J. Uzomah set career highs with 493 yards and five touchdowns in 2021. Gesicki has shown a higher ceiling than those previous Cincinnati TEs and projects to top the depth chart, but his shortcomings as a blocker could keep him off the field in key red-zone situations and cut into his production.

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

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Gesicki is an effective pass catcher, but poor blocking skills have cut into his playing time. After topping 700 receiving yards in both 2020 and 2021, he had only 362 yards in 2022 under new coach Mike McDaniel while playing more than half of Miami’s offensive snaps only five times in 17 games. His offseason move to New England is intriguing given the Patriots’ history of TE production, but incumbent Hunter Henry is the more well-rounded player. While Patriots tight ends found the end zone only twice in 2022, the team got 10 TDs out of the position in 2021. Multi-TE sets should be a regular feature under new/old offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien, and it won't be surprising if Gesicki plays ahead of Henry in clear passing situations.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
![CIN](https://content.rotowire.com/images/teamlogo/football/100CIN.png?v=8)
Go-to target for Burrow vs. Pats?
Gesicki could be quarterback Joe Burrow's first look in the passing game with wide receivers Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins listed as questionable and doubtful, respectively, for Sunday's regular-season opener against New England.
ANALYSIS
Gesicki's production in 2023 with the Patriots was his lowest since his rookie year, as he finished last season with 29 catches on 45 targets for 244 yards and two touchdowns. It's a far cry from his 2021 season with the Dolphins, when he registered 73 catches for 780 yards and two touchdowns. However, with Higgins doubtful to play Sunday due to a hamstring injury and Chase potentially holding out while seeking a contract extension, Burrow could look to take advantage of Gesicki's 6-foot-6 frame in the passing game, especially in the red zone.
