2025 Season Outlooks

Gesicki may go undrafted in most standard redraft leagues, but his upside makes him a viable late-round dart throw who could become a starter if there is an injury. If not for some poor TD luck (two touchdowns on 83 targets), Gesicki could have been a borderline TE1 last year. That was certainly helped by the time Tee Higgins missed, but many of the players you draft late on draft day are injury contingent. At the very least, be prepared to add Gesicki if Higgins misses time. He averaged 14.8 PPR Fantasy points per game in the five games Higgins missed last year.

Gesicki re-signed with the Bengals after a strong finish to his first year with the team. After falling completely off the fantasy radar the prior two seasons, Gesicki finished top 15 in routes, targets, catches, yardage and end zone targets in 2024. He struggled to find the end zone (exactly two TDs for the third time in four seasons), but finished 18th in fantasy PPG. Gesicki was boom/bust (four games with 14-plus points, but 11 with 9 points or fewer), but he peaked late with position-best marks in targets (22), catches (18), receiving yards (154) and fantasy points (33.4) during Weeks 17 and 18. Gesicki is a situational player and will need to fend off newcomer Noah Fant, but he will benefit from Joe Burrow and the league's pass-heaviest offense. He's a bench option in deep leagues.
