• Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Three-year extension with Cincy

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  The Bengals signed Gesicki to a three-year, $25.5 million extension Saturday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. Gesicki joined the Bengals on a one-year, $2.5 million contract in March of 2024 after spending the 2023 season with the Patriots and the first five years of his NFL career with the Dolphins. After logging 61 catches in the two seasons prior to 2024, Gesicki had a nice bounce-back campaign in Cincinnati, where he registered 65 catches (on 83 targets) for 665 yards and two touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. Gesicki had six games in which he tallied at least 50 receiving yards, and the 2018 second-round pick out of Penn State will continue to serve as Joe Burrow's security blanket in the passing game.

• Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Steps up in short-handed attack

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Gesicki secured eight of 10 targets for 68 yards in the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday night. Gesicki finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets behind Ja'Marr Chase, as Tee Higgins' early exit due to an ankle injury helped boost the veteran tight end's involvement. Gesicki finished the regular season with a combined 18-154 line on 22 targets over the last two games, and his final 65-665-2 tally across 17 regular-season games featured his best catch and yardage totals since his 2021 season with Dolphins. If the Bengals are able to squeak into the postseason with a Broncos loss and Dolphins loss or tie Sunday, Gesicki figures to remain a solid complementary component of the air attack irrespective of Higgins' availability.

• Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Sleeper TEs

  Gesicki had a solid game against the Steelers in Week 13 with five catches for 53 yards on five targets, and Pittsburgh has allowed five tight ends to score at least 10.3 PPR points in the past five games, including four touchdowns. Gesicki just had 10 catches for 86 yards on 12 targets in Week 17 against Denver, and he could be needed again if the run game struggles for the Bengals with Chase Brown (ankle) likely out. I like Gesicki as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy option in all leagues in Week 18.

• Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  Gesicki could be needed again in Week 18 at Pittsburgh if the run game struggles like it did in Week 17 against Denver, and Chase Brown (ankle) might not play. Against the Broncos, Gesicki had 10 catches for 86 yards on 12 targets. He also had a solid game against the Steelers in Week 13, with five catches for 53 yards on five targets. I like Gesicki as a low-end No. 1 Fantasy option in all leagues against the Steelers, who could be resting starters on defense.
