Fantasy Football Player Notes

Mike Gesicki is the top pass-catching tight end in arguably the NFL's best passing attack. You'd think that role would mean more, but Gesicki was TE14 in fantasy scoring last year after catching 65 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns. With the dynamic WR duo of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins vacuuming up targets, Gesicki averaged a modest 4.9 targets per game. It's worth noting that Gesicki's productivity increased over the five games Higgins missed last season. Gesicki averaged 5.2 catches and 62.4 yards in those games, and he scored both of his touchdowns when Higgins was out. Gesicki has a high-end TE2 ceiling when Chase and Higgins are both healthy, but if either of them were to miss time in 2025, Gesicki's value could spike.
