Mike Gesicki News
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.

Harold Fannin Jr. News
Saturday, May 30, 5:20 PM
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. finished his rookie season in 2025 as the overall TE6 in fantasy football, and he's only trending up. Fannin is expected to have the tight end role in Cleveland all to himself next year after David Njoku departed in free agency. If Fannin was able to finish as the TE6 with 72 catches, 731 yards, and six touchdowns while Njoku was in the mix, he could legitimately push for 100 catches and 1,000 yards in the post-Njoku era. Fannin's dynasty stock also gets a boost from his age. He's only 21 years old, which means he could be a top fantasy tight end option for many years to come. For now, he ranks as the TE5 in RotoBaller's dynasty fantasy football rankings, but he could jump into the top three if he finishes as the TE6 or higher once again in 2026. With that trajectory, he's an intriguing trade target in dynasty leagues, but it's probably too late for managers to acquire him at any sort of discount.
