Is Mike Gesicki Still Worthy of a Deep-League Dynasty Roster Spot?

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.

Luke Musgrave Suffers Undisclosed Injury

Wednesday, June 10, 8:06 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (undisclosed) suffered an undisclosed injury during offseason practice on Tuesday, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Head coach Matt LaFleur wouldn't specify Musgrave's injury, but he was on the treadmill in the rehab area to start Wednesday's practice. With training camp still over a month away, the Packers aren't going to push the 25-year-old in practice in early June. The former second-round pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Oregon State became an interesting waiver-wire pickup in fantasy leagues when Tucker Kraft (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL last year, but unfortunately, Musgrave never became a big part of the Packers' passing attack and finished with only 24 receptions on 31 targets for 252 yards and no touchdowns in 17 games (10 starts). Kraft is tracking toward being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season this fall, so Musgrave will merely be battling for a backup role at TE in Green Bay this summer.
