Should You Start or Sit Mike Gesicki in Week 7?
After being reasonably involved early in the season, Gesicki is no longer a part of this offense. He’s earned just three targets over the past three weeks, seeing his on-field target share shrink from 29.5% through the first three weeks to a microscopic 5.5% since.
Gesicki’s profile is one that fantasy managers should be targeting, as he is a receiver hiding in a tight end’s body. But the skill set doesn’t matter if he’s sitting on the pine. There’s a world in which an injury to one of the receivers on this team thrusts their tight end back onto our radar, but for the time being, that’s not the case. He can be cut loose without a second thought.
