Mike Gesicki News
Wednesday, July 22, 9:32 AM
Across 13 games in 2025, Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki recorded 28 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns on 42 targets. After a TE13 finish in 2024, Gesicki plummeted to TE41 last season. Entering 2026, Gesicki could play a larger role in the Bengals' offense after the offseason departure of former Cincinnati tight end Noah Fant. However, the 30-year-old's production outlook will likely remain tied to the health of Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins, as Gesicki's best moments in Cincinnati have often come when Higgins is sidelined by injury. As long as Higgins and fellow superstar Bengals wideout Ja'Marr Chase are on the field, Gesicki is unlikely to see enough target volume to provide fantasy-relevant production. Still, the veteran tight end could remain a low-cost handcuff option for deep-league dynasty managers to roster for the upcoming season.

Kenyon Sadiq News
Monday, July 20, 10:50 AM
New York Jets rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq (hernia) missed team activities in the spring while recovering from sports hernia surgery, but he is expected to be fully ready for the start of training camp. The 16th overall selection in the 2026 NFL Draft, Sadiq recorded 51 catches for 560 yards and eight touchdowns across 14 games for the University of Oregon in 2025. The Jets have a second intriguing young tight end in 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor, who recorded 44 catches across 13 games as a rookie last season. However, Sadiq is an elite athlete for the position who has some ability to work from the slot, which could allow the Jets to use multiple-tight-end sets more often than most teams. Still, Sadiq profiles as more of a developmental piece for fantasy managers, as he will play his entire rookie season at just 21 years old. Managers looking for immediate top-12 tight end production from Sadiq may be disappointed, but dynasty managers in the midst of a rebuild should view him as a priority target.
