The Cincinnati Bengals will visit the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Mike Gesicki.
Is Mike Gesicki Playing in Week 13?
Gesicki is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bengals’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Gesicki in Week 13?
Gesicki missed more than a month with the pectoral injury and seems to be coming back at the right time in terms of fantasy upside with Joe Burrow trending in a positive direction.
In his return to action last week against the Patriots, Gesicki accounted for six of Cincinnati’s nine tight end targets and was the only player at the position to see a look on the plus side of the field.
This is a player who caught 65 balls last season. Of course, it should be noted that he has scored just twice over the past three seasons (41 games played), but there is a floor production profile to chase here.
I expect last week (4-35-0) to be on the lower level of expectations, but not far from the mean. If you need 9-11 PPR points, I think Gesicki is a reasonable roll of the dice this week and moving forward, though I’m not confident that he has access to a ceiling that is much higher than that.
