Mike Gesicki Hasn't Done Enough to Become a Redraft Sleeper

Wednesday, August 19, 9:37 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had a couple of good moments Tuesday, including a 17-yard catch from Joe Burrow and another third-down grab after Burrow broke the pocket. Nice day, but there still hasn't been much this summer to push Gesicki up redraft boards. He finished 2025 with 28 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games after a pectoral injury cost him four games. Burrow missing nine games didn't help either. The better reference point is 2024, when Gesicki caught 65 passes for 665 yards, but getting back to that volume is the hard part. Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins are going to eat first, Chase Brown will get his work, and Erick All Jr. is back in a deep tight end room. RotoBaller has Gesicki 218th overall in half-PPR. That's late enough to take a shot in deeper drafts, but one good camp practice doesn't suddenly make him a sleeper. He's still outside the group of tight ends fantasy managers should feel any need to chase.

Brevin Jordan Back to Full Health Entering Training Camp

Tuesday, July 28, 5:44 PM

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (knee) is fully healthy entering training camp, per Jared Koch of Sports Illustrated. After suffering a season-ending torn ACL in Week 2 of the 2024 season, Jordan missed the entirety of 2025 due to a knee/lower leg injury that he suffered during a preseason practice. The 26-year-old flashed some upside in his last healthy season in 2023, recording 17 catches for 219 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets across 14 games (six starts). If he's able to stay healthy throughout camp and make the Texans roster, Jordan would be another mouth to feed in Houston's crowded tight end room. Veteran Dalton Schultz currently projects as the team's TE1, but Houston also has tight ends Foster Moreau, Cade Stover, and 2026 second-round pick Marlin Klein on its roster. Jordan should remain off the radar of fantasy managers for now, but he could be a name to monitor if he can put together a strong preseason.
