Should I Start Mike Gesicki?

Friday, November 13, 1:05 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for 11 yards in last week's 34-17 victory over the Atlanta Falcons. Before Week 9, Gesicki had reeled off five straight games with a touchdown. The Bengals tight end will have the opportunity to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. The Steelers have a strong pass rush and run defense, but struggle to cover tight ends in the middle of the field. If the Bengals are unable to find success on the ground and the pass rush is getting to quarterback Joe Burrow, Gesicki could be peppered with targets in the short and intermediate parts of the field. Gesicki is also a threat to find the end zone in any given week, as shown by his six touchdowns in eight games. Gesicki is ranked TE16 in our RotoBaller Week 10 PPR rankings, making him a TE2 option this week.
