Gase: TE Mike Gesicki ready for starter-like role

Sep 02, 2018

Feisty Adam Gase today. When asked if TE Mike Gesicki is ready for a starter-like role he says, "Yeah. This isn't a hobby."

Fantasy Impact:

Rookie TEs don't often make a major impact in the fantasy world, but last year Evan Engram was pretty productive. Gesicki is a ridiculous athlete and can really fly down the seam with his 4.54 speed. He’ll also provide Gase with a big target in the red zone boosted by his 41.5" vertical. Jarvis Landry vacated 161 targets from last year, and the Dolphins have only signed Albert Wilson and Danny Amendola to replace him, so there are plenty of targets up for grabs.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
