Who Should I Start? Mike Gesicki or Dalton Kincaid

Wednesday, October 15, 11:11 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been placed on Injured Reserve due to a pectoral injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old has recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 16 targets through his first six games of 2025. He will now miss at least the next four games for Cincinnati. With Gesicki sidelined and tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) questionable to play in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals will likely turn to Noah Fant and Drew Sample to handle the tight end snaps. Fant has recorded 16 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets across five games this season and could be a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is considered week-to-week with the hamstring injury that he suffered in Sunday's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Kincaid has been one of the team's top targets this year, catching 29 passes for 448 yards and a team-high four touchdowns, so losing him for any amount of time would be bad news for the slumping Bills. Before getting hurt in Week 10, the 26-year-old caught two of his three targets for 37 yards. Fellow TE Dawson Knox caught three of his four targets for a season-high 37 yards against Miami with Kincaid injured, and he'll be in play as a touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Kincaid is unable to play. Fantasy managers should consider Kincaid a highly volatile option for Week 11. Check back later this week to see if he's able to practice.
