Mike Gesicki Could Bounce Back Against Steelers

Friday, November 13, 1:05 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for 11 yards in last week's 34-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Before Week 9, Gesicki had reeled off five straight games with a touchdown. The Bengals tight end will have the opportunity to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. The Steelers have a strong pass rush and run defense, but struggle to cover tight ends in the middle of the field. If the Bengals are unable to find success on the ground and the pass rush is getting to quarterback Joe Burrow, Gesicki could be peppered with targets in the short and intermediate parts of the field. Gesicki is also a threat to find the end zone in any given week, as shown by his six touchdowns in eight games. Gesicki is ranked TE16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a TE2 option this week.

Juwan Johnson Becoming an Afterthought in Saints' Passing Game

Friday, November 13, 7:53 PM

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson recorded two catches on two targets for 34 yards and a touchdown in Week 9's victory over the Browns. His 15-yard touchdown reception in overtime won the game for the Saints, marking his first trip to the end zone since Week 3. However, this was also the fourth straight game in which Johnson was held under 50 receiving yards, as he continues to split snaps with fellow tight ends Noah Fant and Oscar Delp. The Saints offense continues to get healthier, with rookie receiver Jordyn Tyson making his debut last week and running back Travis Etienne Jr. potentially returning from IR soon. Opportunities continue to diminish for Johnson, and despite all three of the Saints' tight ends seeing solid playing time, none are worth starting in fantasy at this point. Johnson comes in at TE18 in RotoBaller's rankings this week.
