Is Mike Gesicki a Buy-Low Candidate After Down 2025?

Friday, April 10, 5:33 PM

In his second season with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2025, veteran tight end Mike Gesicki recorded just 28 receptions for 307 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets across 13 games. The 30-year-old's numbers were down from his first season in Cincinnati in 2024, when he hauled in 65 catches for 665 yards and two scores on 83 targets. Gesicki missed time with a pectoral injury and was also hurt by the absence of star Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, who was limited to just eight games played by a toe injury. With improved health, Gesicki could be in line for a bounce-back season in 2026. Additionally, the free agent departure of former Bengals tight end Noah Fant could make Gesicki Cincinnati's undisputed top pass-catching tight end. In deeper dynasty formats, fantasy managers may want to consider buying low on Gesicki.

Colston Loveland Ready for Expanded Role in Year 2

Thursday, April 23, 12:19 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland had just 11 catches for 116 yards and no touchdowns through six games in his rookie season in 2025. But Loveland slowly became a bigger part of the Bears' offense in the second half and showed why Chicago took him 10th overall in the 2025 draft. By season's end, he had 58 catches for 713 yards and six touchdowns in 16 regular-season games, which led the Bears in all categories. After the offseason trade of receiver DJ Moore, Loveland figures to have an even bigger role in his sophomore season in head coach Ben Johnson's passing attack. The Michigan product is fully ready for an expanded role in Year 2 and is embracing the challenges it will bring. "I wouldn't want it any other way, obviously," Loveland said of the gathering attention. "It means I'm doing something right. I have to continue to do that. But like I said, we've got weapons, so whether you want to focus in on one dude or not, there are weapons all over." Going into his second year in the NFL, Loveland is a top-five fantasy TE in dynasty/keeper leagues.
