Mike Gesicki

Mike Gesicki is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million with the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mike Gesicki caught 1-of-3 targets for five yards in the Patriots’ 17-3 loss to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact

Gesicki tied fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown with three targets in a quiet day for the Patriots’ passing attack. The 28-year-old is set to test free agency ahead of the 2024 season. Gesicki will finish with 29 receptions and 244 yards in 17 games.

Mike Gesicki caught 4-of-6 targets for 35 yards in the Patriots’ 27-21 loss to Buffalo.

Fantasy Impact

Gesicki led the Patriots in targets and receptions in the loss to the Bills. The 28-year-old has performed as the No. 1 tight end for the Patriots over the last two weeks with Hunter Henry sidelined with a wrist injury. Fantasy manages can leave Gesicki out of their lineups ahead of a Week 18 matchup with the Jets.

Mike Gesicki caught both of his targets for 15 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots' 26-23 win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16.

Fantasy Impact

Gesicki was able to salvage another forgettable day in the New England passing attack, reaching the end zone despite finishing with two or less targets for the fifth consecutive game for the Patriots. The tight end is not a viable option for fantasy manager in any format ahead of a difficult Week 17 contest against the Buffalo Bills.

Mike Gesicki did not log a target in the Patriots’ 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

Fantasy Impact

Gesicki did not register a target with Bailey Zappe installed as the new quarterback. The veteran tight end has just two receptions in his last four games. Fantasy managers can safely leave Gesicki on the waiver wire heading into Week 14.
