Mike Gesicki News
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.

Michael Mayer News
Friday, November 13, 1:11 PM
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer has been a productive secondary TE this season, but faces a tall task against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 10. The 25-year-old has caught 84.8% of his targets for 388 yards and one touchdown this season, continuing to get regular work even after Brock Bowers returned from injury in Week 3 and became the passing game's focal point. That being said, things get tricky against a Seahawks defense that is allowing 12.2 average yards to tight ends per game. Seattle also hasn't allowed a tight end touchdown since Trey McBride hauled in a score in Week 2, and he fared the best against the Seahawks with eight catches for 41 yards. Plus, it's unclear how much Mayer's target share will change since Kirk Cousins was traded to the Vikings and Fernando Mendoza is making his first professional start. RotoBaller ranks Mayer TE27, and he is a deep-league TE2 option only in Week 10.
