Who Should I Start? Mike Gesicki or Trey McBride

Thursday, November 27, 12:12 AM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki made his return from a stint on the Injured Reserve list for the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. While he didn't do much for fantasy managers, he didn't play horribly, finishing with four grabs for 35 yards. Of course, Ja'Marr Chase wasn't available for that one due to suspension. However, with Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined, there should be more targets up for grabs from quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), who will make his return after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Granted, the expectation is for Burrow and Chase to connect often. However, Gesicki's ceiling is still slightly higher than usual on Thanksgiving Night without Higgins in the lineup, giving him some credibility for those in desperate need of a tight end in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride enters Week 12 as RotoBaller's No. 1 overall-ranked tight end and holds tier one to himself. The 26-year-old has set the fantasy world on fire again with back-to-back 27-plus point performances and No. 1 overall finishes. McBride will once again be the focal point of the passing game with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) missing his second straight game after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis. Heading into Week 12, McBride will face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the fifth-most passing touchdowns this season. McBride has caught at least one touchdown pass in his previous five games and has six total touchdowns during that stretch. McBride is a set-it-and-forget-it TE1 with massive upside heading into Sunday in a favorable matchup.
