Who Should I Start? Mike Gesicki or Trey McBride

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been placed on Injured Reserve due to a pectoral injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 30-year-old has recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 16 targets through his first six games of 2025. He will now miss at least the next four games for Cincinnati. With Gesicki sidelined and tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) questionable to play in Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Bengals will likely turn to Noah Fant and Drew Sample to handle the tight end snaps. Fant has recorded 16 catches for 107 yards and a touchdown on 18 targets across five games this season and could be a low-end streaming option for fantasy managers in Week 7.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had his best performance of the season during Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. McBride carried a three-game touchdown streak into this contest, which was in jeopardy until he scored mid-way through the third quarter. Overall, McBride finished with nine receptions on 15 targets for 127 yards and one score in the blowout loss. McBride has seen his fantasy value quickly rise with Jacoby Brissett under center. The Cardinals figure to ride with Brissett for the rest of the season, which is good news for McBride fantasy managers. He'll carry his four-game touchdown streak into the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
