Mike Gesicki

He's an athletic freak who can do things most human beings cannot, though we mustn't forget that he's still a rookie tight end and he's got a lot to learn. The reason for some optimism, however, is that the Dolphins don't really have another tight end on the roster who is a clear-cut starter to force Gesicki out of the lineup. On top of that, the exit of Jarvis Landry and Julius Thomas frees up over 220 targets in the passing attack. There's reason for optimism, but history tells us to be weary of rookie tight ends.

Mike Gesicki inks four-year deal with Dolphins

The Miami Dolphins wrapped up their 2018 draft class by coming to terms with No. 42 overall pick Mike Gesicki on a four-year deal.

Fantasy Impact

Gesicki initially struggled in OTAs but once he gets up to speed, is likely to open the season as the Dolphins starting tight end. With Jarvis Landry's departure, there are a ton of available targets in Miami, so Gesicki is on the TE2/streaming radar.
