Who Should I Start? Mike Gesicki or Jake Ferguson

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki has six catches on 10 targets for 54 yards and no touchdowns in his first two games back from Injured Reserve. Gesicki caught four of six targets for a season-high 35 yards in his first game back in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots, and he followed that up with a two-catch, 19-yard game on Thanksgiving Day last Thursday in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. Fellow tight ends Tanner Hudson, Drew Sample, and Noah Fant all had one catch apiece, combining for 31 receiving yards. The 30-year-old Gesicki has yet to find the end zone in eight games played in 2025 in his second year in Cincy, and it's probably going to be difficult for him to produce every week with Hudson, Sample, and Fant all involved. That will especially be the case whenever receiver Tee Higgins returns from a concussion. Heading into Week 14 against the Bills, Gesicki should be considered a low-end TE2/high-end TE3 in fantasy.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is looking to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend. Ferguson had a strong stretch of play, but has been a bit sluggish lately. Last week, Ferguson hauled in four of his five targets for 16 yards in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The return of CeeDee Lamb seems to have cut into some of Ferguson's target share over the last few games. The 26-year-old has been held to under 50 receiving yards four of his last five games. Despite that, Ferguson should still be plugged in as a TE1 for this Week 12 matchup.
