The Cincinnati Bengals (2-3) will visit the Green Bay Packers (2-1) in Week 6. 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 6?
Gesicki is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.

Should You Start or Sit Mike Gesicki in Week 6?
We saw this pass game finally get going against the Lions last week, albeit after the game was in hand, and that fueled Mike Gesicki seeing a season high in opportunities.
He responded by averaging a whopping three yards per target, and we are now more than 11 months removed from his last touchdown. I was bearish on Gesicki with Joe Burrow under center, and I’m not pivoting any time soon, regardless of who is under center.
This offense isn’t built to support a tight end, even if he essentially functions as a receiver in terms of route-to-snap rate.
There are better options on your wire for Week 6 (Mason Tayloe and Chig Okonkwo, as they mean more to their respective offenses), and I’m not optimistic that we see a lineup-lock version of Andrews for the rest of the season.
