Mike Gesicki News
Friday, September 18, 12:34 PM
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had an impressive performance last week in the 33-27 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and he will look to keep it going this week against the Houston Texans. Gesicki led all Bengals pass catchers with five catches for 78 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. It was a surprising effort to say the least considering Gesicki outgained both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in the win. The veteran TE has had good games in the past but hasn't shown any consistency. Another good game this week would go a long way towards considering him a reliable option at the tight end position. Gesicki will have to perform against a Houston Texans defense that was just gashed for 36 points by the Buffalo Bills in Week 1. Gesicki is ranked TE21 in our RotoBaller Week 2 PPR rankings, making him a low-end TE2 with some opportunity for upside this Sunday.

Oronde Gadsden News
Monday, September 21, 7:46 AM
Los Angeles Chargers tight end Oronde Gadsden has become a much more interesting Week 3 waiver option after injuries thinned out the position Sunday. David Njoku was carted off with a knee injury and did not return, while Charlie Kolar later left with a forearm injury and was also unable to come back. Gadsden caught both of his targets for 18 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown from Justin Herbert. The volume was still modest, so this is not a must-add situation in every league yet. The opportunity could change quickly, though. Gadsden caught 49 passes for 664 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie last season, and he could move into a much larger role if Njoku or Kolar misses time. Through two games, he has caught all four of his targets for 50 yards and a score. Gadsden is a strong add in 12-team leagues, with his Week 3 value depending heavily on the injury updates ahead of him.
