Mike Gesicki Has Touchdown Upside Against Tennessee

Friday, October 30, 1:55 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki will face the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The veteran tight end has been a serviceable asset on the back of touchdowns this season. Gesicki has caught a touchdown in four straight games and has five total touchdowns this season. In each of his past two games, Gesicki has caught exactly one pass for a touchdown, giving him just enough to be worthy of a start at the tight end position. There is very little guarantee that Gesicki will get any sort of volume, but given his role in the red zone, he's a threat to score every week. The big tight end will get another chance to score against a Titans defense that has not been tough to throw on this season. Gesicki is ranked TE17 in our RotoBaller Week 8 PPR rankings, making him a TE2 with TE1 upside given his touchdown-scoring ability. Fantasy managers struggling at tight end may be able to turn to Gesicki this week.

Michael Wilson Playing Through Two Broken Ribs

Sunday, November 1, 12:52 PM

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson (ribs) revealed that he is playing through two broken ribs following Sunday's Week 8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Wilson acknowledged dealing with considerable pain, saying he would continue playing even if he could only perform at 60 percent. The 26-year-old was limited in practice throughout the week but carried no injury designation into Sunday's contest. He caught eight of 15 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in Arizona's 33-30 overtime victory, adding a 17-yard rushing attempt. Wilson caught the game-tying 13-yard touchdown pass from Gardner Minshew II with six seconds remaining in regulation. He also briefly entered the medical tent following a diving catch attempt in the second quarter before returning to action.
