Should You Start or Sit Mike Gesicki in Week 11?
Mike Gesicki is a receiver labeled as a tight end in our world, and that’s great when an injury opens up usage.
- Last three games (no Tee Higgins): 23 targets
- Previous four games (Higgins was active): Four targets
This is a very simple situation that you need not overcomplicate — if Higgins is active, Gesicki is a low-end streamer at best. But if not, he’s a top-10 guy without much thought.
Do I think he should be used more often? I do. He’s the third-most reliable pass catcher in this offense, and that role should thrive given the attention that Higgins/Ja’Marr Chase demand. Until the Bengals show any interest in getting that role consistently involved, fantasy managers don’t need to look this way should Higgins’ health not be a concern at lineup lock.
