Gesicki was one of the more under-the-radar signings this past free agency cycle, but landing in a Bengals offense that just vacated its longtime reliable slot receiver Tyler Boyd should give the former Dolphins and Patriots TE a chance to re-gain his fantasy relevance. After finishing as a top-10 fantasy tight end in back-to-back years in 2020 and 2021, Gesicki bottomed out in 2022 thanks to the addition of Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins offense. He then jumped to the Patriots last year, where he was supremely unproductive while operating behind Hunter Henry and dealing with replacement level QB play from Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. The good news: he’ll be playing with easily the best quarterback of his career with Joe Burrow under center, and with a role vacated for him to occupy on the offense, he could make some noise once again in 2024 while he seeks to crack the top-20 at the position for the first time in three years. With Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and even Jermaine Burton to compete with for targets, Gesicki’s floor remains glaringly low – however, his upside as a potential top-12 tight end can’t be ignored should he be able to earn a full-time role.
