With the hype so far this off-season with rookie Jermaine Burton and Andre Iosivas on who will handle the third wide receiver position with Tyler Boyd gone in free agency, silently Mike Gesicki could end up as the third option. Earlier in the off-season Joe Burrow had this to say about his new tight end, “He’s got a big catch radius. He’s an explosive guy that I’m excited to work with. He’s been everything you can ask for on the field and off. So, he’s been a great addition for us.”

Gesicki has shown flashes of being a reliable and viable tight end in fantasy. In 2020 and 2021, Gesicki finished 9th or better in PPR formats with 2021 being his best season on 73 receptions and 780 receiving yards. Unfortunately, since then, he has not been utilized in the receiving game in his last year in Miami and in New England. Now heads to Cincinnati and could possibly revive his career with the pass happy offense and a top 5 quarterback at the helm. Gesicki could be a sleeper this year in fantasy and worth a grab in late rounds to stash.
