Mike Gesicki

Yes, that's a negative number. Gesicki caught a ball near the sideline and tried to spin out of a tackle and was knocked backward by the Panthers defenders. By the time he was tackled, he had lost 13 yards from the point where he caught the ball. It was a bit of a tough call against him, but it's not as if he would have had a great day otherwise. The Bengals are rotating their tight ends, which makes it hard to trust any of them.

Hudson was inactive in Week 3 which led to a slight uptick is snaps for Mike Gesicki, so we can expect something similar in Week 4. Not having both Rankins and Hill leaves a big hole in the center of the Bengals' defensive line, so watch for the Panthers to try and exploit that with Chuba Hubbard.

Gesicki continues splitting time at tight end with multiple other options, but his box scores keep telling the tale of the primary pass-catching option at the position for the Bengals. His targets per route run rate currently reside in the top 12 at the position through three weeks, meaning he could return consistent fantasy production in PPR and TE-premium formats moving forward.

Gesicki picked up the calf injury late in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, but it doesn't appear that this is anything more then a precautionary measure for the 28-year-old. The 28-year-old has been a big part of the offense thus far and is coming off a 91-yard effort against Kansas City, and while he may not see as much action if Tee Higgins (hamstring) can play, he remains on the TE1 radar.

All Jr. wasn't involved in Week 1 against the Patriots, but the 24-year-old rookie finished tied with fellow first-year receiver Andrei Iosivas for third in targets behind Mike Gesicki and Ja'Marr Chase. Joe Burrow seemed to see something he liked against the KC linebackers, as he also targets Drew Sample three times for three catches in the loss. All Jr. has gotten positive reviews in camp, but remains without redraft value as long as Gesicki is healthy.
