Mike Gesicki Week 11 Outlook - Bengals at Commanders

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Wed, Nov 18th 2020, 7:03am EST

In the three games with Tagovailoa under center, Gesicki has seen just 11 targets, caught six passes, and totaled 90 scoreless yards. That's not going to get anyone excited, especially when we know that target share isn't the problem. Gesicki actually has a decent 17 percent target share over the last two weeks, but the lack of pass attempts drags everyone down. The Broncos have allowed the 12th-fewest points per game to tight ends, but they have allowed the 10th-most receptions, which highlights a lack of touchdowns. When you see they've allowed just two of them on 61 targets, you know why they're a matchup that's "in the red." Still, it's not great to hear that tight ends average 13.2 percent fewer fantasy points against the Broncos than they do on average, which is the eighth-worst number in the league. Eight different tight ends have finished in-between 31-49 yards against them, with just one tight end topping that (Hayden Hurst, 62 yards). This seems like another game where Gesicki could net 30-50 yards, and knowing the Broncos haven't been susceptible to touchdowns, he's nothing more than a low-ceiling TE2.
