Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Grabs TD in Week 16 win
Mike Gesicki caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.The veteran tight end caught the fourth of Joe Burrow's four scores on the day, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Gesicki has made just two trips to the end zone in 11 games this season, but they've both come in the last three weeks, a stretch in which he's posted a 10-132-2 line on 12 targets. He'll look to exploit another soft matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Disappointing day in loss to Ravens
Mike Gesicki had just one catch for 11 yards on three targets in the Cincinnati Bengals' 24-0 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.When Tee Higgins (concussion) missed games last season, Gesicki was frequently a big target for Joe Burrow, but the Ravens locked down on him Sunday. One of Gesicki's targets was a seam ball on fourth down when the Ravens had two defenders on Gesicki, a pass that ended in an incompletion and turnover on downs.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Stellar production in narrow loss
Mike Gesicki brought in all six targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Cincinnati Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.Gesicki finished tied with Tee Higgins for the team lead in receptions and as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards, and both figures were also new season highs. The veteran tight end also scored his first touchdown of the campaign on a 12-yard grab with just under nine minutes remaining. Gesicki has proven to have good chemistry with Joe Burrow, so he'll remain a viable option at a tricky fantasy position in a Week 15 home rematch with the Ravens next Sunday.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Diminished playing time
Mike Gesicki had two catches for 19 yards on four targets in Thursday night's win over the Ravens. He played only 23 offensive snaps (29 percent), down from 28 the week before against New England.While the game flow was considerably different than against the Pats in Week 12, there was still plenty of passing volume to go around, with Joe Burrow throwing 46 passes. Gesicki has yet to score in the eight games in which he's played this year.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Four catches in return
Mike Gesicki caught four of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.Making his return from a four-game absence due to a pectoral strain, Gesicki paced Cincinnati tight ends in volume, as Noah Fant, Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample each had just one catch and none topped nine yards. The Cincinnati Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but with Tee Higgins (concussion) potentially unavailable, there could be targets available once again for Gesicki in a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens. Through seven appearances this season, he's managed a 12-96-0 line on 22 targets.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Comes off IR
The Cincinnati Bengals activated Mike Gesicki (pectoral) from injured reserve Friday.Since injuring his pectoral Week 6 at Green Bay, Gesicki has missed the requisite four games on IR, and his ability to practice in full Wednesday and Thursday was enough for Cincinnati to bring him back to the active roster ahead of the weekend. He thus will be among the top TE options along with Noah Fant for whoever is helming the offense Sunday against the Patriots. Those options include Joe Burrow (toe, IR) and Joe Flacco (right shoulder).

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Practice window opens
The Cincinnati Bengals announced Wednesday that Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been designated to return from IR.Gesicki will now kick off a 21-day window wherein he can practice without counting against the active roster. He can be added to the 53-man roster at any point in that span, making him tentatively eligible to retake the field as early as Sunday's game against the Patriots, health pending. Once fully healthy, Gesicki is expected to reclaim the No. 1 tight end role in Cincinnati from Noah Fant.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Recovery progress encouraging
Cincinnati Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that the team has seen "encouraging" recovery progress from Mike Gesicki (pectoral), Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.Gesicki remains on IR and isn't eligible to return in time for Sunday's game against the Steelers, though he could have his 21-day practice window opened in advance of Cincinnati's contest against the Patriots in Week 12. It's possible, however, that Gesicki could require more time to get healthy. Noah Fant has handled an expanded role in the receiving game in Gesicki's absence, and he will continue to do so for at least one more week.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Lands on IR
The Cincinnati Bengals placed Mike Gesicki (pectoral) on injured reserve Wednesday.Gesicki will be forced to miss at least four games due to a pectoral injury sustained during the Bengals' loss to the Packers on Sunday. Since Bengals have a Week 10 bye, Gesicki's first chance to return to action will arrive Week 12 against the Patriots on Nov. 23. With Gesicki sidelined, Noah Fant is expected to step up as the No. 1 tight end for Cincinnati, beginning with Thursday's game versus the Steelers. Reserve tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) also may benefit from increased receiving opportunities, though he looks uncertain to be available Thursday.
