Mike Gesicki Still a Risky Option Versus the Pats Despite Reports Indicating Increased Involvement

Saturday, November 22, 1:37 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) practiced in full all week and was activated from the Injured Reserve list heading into Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. The 30-year-old wasn't having a productive season before going down with an injury, catching only eight passes (16 targets) for 61 yards while failing to find the end zone. With that said, Ja'Marr Chase won't be available versus the Pats in order to serve a one-game suspension, meaning Gesicki's return comes at a perfect time. The veteran is reportedly in line for "a big role." Still, fantasy managers have heard this about other players countless times over the years, so he shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a risky, high-upside streaming option, considering his production can go in either direction in the matchup with a tough Patriots defense. It's also somewhat important to remember that Noah Fant has scored in two of his last four appearances.
