Even though the Cincinnati Bengals haven’t one a single game yet, the performance of Mike Gesicki has stood out as one of the team’s bright spots. As it stands, his signing during free agency this year was a big steal for the team.
Gesicki is ready to take the field for the Bengals in their upcoming game against the Commanders. After dealing with a calf issue, he has been cleared for action, participating fully in practice on Saturday. This is great news for the Bengals, especially after his impressive performance in Week 2, where he caught seven passes for 91 yards.
However, his role may be affected by the return of wide receiver Tee Higgins, who missed the start of the season due to a hamstring injury. Higgins’ presence could shift the target distribution, but Gesicki’s recent form suggests he will still be a key part of the Bengals’ offensive strategy.
The Bengals are looking to bounce back after a tough start to the season, and Gesicki’s involvement in the passing game will be crucial. With him back to full health, the team hopes to leverage his skills to maximize their offensive output. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on how the workload is shared among the receivers as Higgins returns, but the tight end’s recent performance indicates he should still be a reliable option.
NFL Analysis Names Mike Gesicki as Cincinnati Bengals’ Steal During Free Agency This Year
Just recently, the Bengals’ signing of Gesicki was hailed as a big steal during free agency. This can be seen in an NFL analysis by David Kenyon for Bleacher Report.
“Mike Gesicki is the slightest bobble away from being an undisputed standout in his first two games on the Cincinnati Bengals.
During the opener against the New England Patriots, he posted a quiet line of three catches for 18 yards. Gesicki, though, had a touchdown overturned—which the NFL later said should not have happened.
Cincinnati lost a tight game to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2, but Gesicki reeled in seven passes for 91 yards. He played a critical role in the Bengals being in position to knock off the reigning champs.
At last, the offense might have a reliable tight end for Joe Burrow.
Factor in Ja’Marr Chase’s contract drama and Tee Higgins’ injury, and Gesicki is well worth the $2.5 million deal,” Kenyon wrote.
Last March, the Bengals signed Gesicki to a one-year deal worth up to $3.25 million. This move was projected to strengthen their tight end position, especially after re-signing Drew Sample.
Although the Bengals could use a win, there’s a big chance they can do so with Gesicki in the lineup. Fans should keep an eye out on the tight end to see how he will fare for the entire season.
