Should I Start Mike Gesicki?

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.
