Should You Start or Sit Mike Gesicki in Week 14?
For the second consecutive week, Tee Higgins and Ja’Marr Chase accounted for the majority of Joe Burrow targets, a condensed tree that is good for Bengal business, but not so much when it comes to trying to pick off value elsewhere in this offense.
Mike Gesiki is a warm body in a fiery offense, and that’s not a bad place to be when trying to stream the position. The former Nittany Lion has run a route on 97.3% of his snaps this season (34 routes per game over the past month), and with a 75% catch rate, Gesicki is viable when given the opportunity — it’s just a toss-up weekly if that’s going to be the case.
I prefer him to Will Dissly and Cade Otton this week, even if it’s just in a low-end TE1 sort of way. Gesicki owns the second-highest aDOT at the position through 13 weeks, and the Cowboys have struggled when attacked vertically.
