Mike Gesicki News
Friday, October 2, 12:22 PM
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki put on a good performance last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Gesicki caught three passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the 27-30 loss in Week 3. The previous week, the veteran tight end pulled a Houdini and disappeared from the Bengals offense. Gesicki finished their Week 2 matchup with zero catches on zero targets after leading the team in receiving during the season opener. Gesicki will get another chance to pop off this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars defense is strong, but their offense may be even stronger. If Jacksonville is able to put up points against the Bengals defense, this game may turn into a track meet. With the highest over/under of the week, there should be plenty of points to go around in this contest. Gesicki is ranked TE24 in our RotoBaller Week 4 PPR rankings, making him a boom-or-bust TE2 at home on Sunday. Fantasy managers should be able to find better options, but Gesicki could be a worthy dart throw in a high-scoring game.

Tyler Warren News
Saturday, October 3, 2:15 AM
Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught nine of his 10 targets for 55 yards and carried the ball one time for two yards in his team's narrow win over the Houston Texans in Week 3. With the Colts' top wide receiver, Alec Pierce (heel), out with a heel injury, Warren is the team's top target in the passing game. The Texans presented a tougher defensive challenge than do the Washington Commanders, who have been one of the NFL's worst defenses against tight ends last season and through this year so far. Warren has faced tough defenses in each of his first three games and still maintained fantasy football relevance, so he appears to be on the verge of a breakout game here. Warren and wide receiver Josh Downs will split the lion's share of the team's targets. The Commanders appear to have an improved offense under quarterback Marcus Mariota, who will start in Week 4, and Indy's defense hasn't been playing exceptionally well, so a game with high passing volume could be on the table for the Colts. Warren is firmly in TE1 territory in fantasy football this week and should be started in all leagues.
