Gesicki is in line to sign a one-year deal with the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Per Schefter, Gesicki's pending deal is worth up to $3.25 million. The 28-year-old is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he caught 29 of his 45 targets for 244 yards and a pair of TDs in 17 regular-season games, while working in a New England TE corps that also included Hunter Henry and Pharaoh Brown. With Cincinnati, it's plausible that Gesicki (who caught 73 passes with Miami in 2021) could see an uptick in targets if he's able to earn steady snaps and develop a strong rapport with QB Joe Burrow (wrist).

Gesicki is in line to sign a one-year deal with the Bengals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Per Schefter, Gesicki's pending deal is worth up to $3.25 million.

With Cincinnati, it's plausible that Gesicki (who caught 73 passes with Miami in 2021) could see an uptick in targets if he's able to earn steady snaps and develop a strong rapport with QB Joe Burrow (wrist).
In a game in which no New England tight end caught a pass, Gesicki was on the field for 18 of a possible 68 snaps on offense Sunday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. As this coming weekend's game against the Chargers approaches, Gesicki profiles as a fantasy dart in Week 13.
Gesicki was out-snapped Sunday by both Hunter Henry (31 snaps, three catches) and Pharaoh Brown (21 snaps, two catches), as the Patriots' time-share at tight end continues. With 19 catches (on 25 targets) for 160 yards and a TD in eight games to date, Gesicki only merits lineup consideration in deeper fantasy formats.
Gesicki shared Week 7 TE work with Hunter Henry (30 snaps, two catches) and Pharaoh Brown (23 snaps, two catches), but his second catch of the day (with just 12 seconds left on the clock) was a one-yard game-winning TD. Through seven games to date, Gesicki has caught 17 of his 22 targets for 149 yards and a TD, a rate of production that limits his fantasy value to deeper formats.
