Mike Gesicki With Potential Upside In High-Scoring Game

Friday, October 23, 12:51 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki will face the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. Gesicki is fresh off a bye week and ready to find the end zone again. The veteran tight end has been a strong start at the position in three of five games this season, finding the end zone four times so far. Despite not seeing a high volume of targets behind Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, Gesicki has been a big target for Joe Burrow when the team gets to the red zone. The big tight end could find more success against a Ravens defense that is allowing production to opposing tight ends. Gesicki is ranked TE20 in our RotoBaller Week 7 PPR rankings, making him a low-end TE2 with the upside of a touchdown each week. Fantasy managers could turn to Gesicki this week in a game that is expected to be high-scoring.

Rhamondre Stevenson Rumbles for Long TD in Loss

Thursday, October 22, 9:15 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed six times for 22 yards and caught five passes for 93 yards and a touchdown (five targets) in a 30-24 loss to the Chicago Bears on Thursday Night Football. Stevenson led New England's backfield in carries and was the most efficient RB on Thursday, but he made most of his hay in the receiving game, posting a career-high in yards. The sixth-year pro's new personal best was aided in large part by a spectacular catch-and-run in the waning seconds of the first half. Stevenson caught a dump-off on the right side on a play that looked like he was supposed to pitch it back. However, he scampered up the sideline and cut back against the grain, untouched for a 48-yard touchdown. While New England's backfield may be a mess right now, Stevenson is getting most of the snaps and has the most stable role in the receiving game. He'll look to keep this momentum in a divisional clash with the Miami Dolphins in Week 8.
