Mike Gesicki Placed on Injured Reserve Due to Pectoral Injury

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.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Should Avoid Being Rostered Outside of Dynasty Leagues

Friday, October 24, 11:04 PM

Ja'Tavion Sanders has yet to become a factor in the Carolina passing game this season. This year, Sanders has no touchdowns and only logged over two receptions and 50 receiving yards in one of his four games played. The second-year tight end was targeted twice, but had no receptions in last week's contest, which was his first since returning from an ankle injury that caused him to miss four games. Carolina will face the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed 5.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends, which is second-best in the league this season. Considering his underwhelming numbers, Sanders is unrosterable in any formats outside of Dynasty leagues until further notice.
