ESPN: It takes a year for TEs to catch on in NFL

ESPN

Sep 03, 2018 · 9:02 AM EDT

Over the past 15 years, only two rookie tight ends have produced more than 600 yards receiving. The Giants’ Evan Engram totaled 722 yards receiving last season, and John Carlson recorded 627 with the Seahawks in 2008.

Of the 18 tight ends drafted this year, only three are projected starters: Hayden Hurst, Miami’s Mike Gesicki and the New York Jets’ Chris Herndon.

Fantasy Impact:

The biggest reason, the story said, is that tight end is a position different than any other on offense. Like offensive linemen, tight ends have to learn the concepts of blocking schemes. Like wide receivers, tight ends have to understand the nuances of route-running. The story also noted Jason Witten, Rob Gronkowski, Jimmy Graham and Antonio Gates all totaled fewer than 45 catches and 550 yards receiving in their rookie seasons. Each one eclipsed 80 receptions and 950 yards the next.

Gase: TE Mike Gesicki ready for starter-like role

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.

Dolphins Beat: TE Mike Gesicki will be used all over

Miami Herald

Aug 07, 2018 · 9:06 PM EDT

TE Mike Gesicki might be Miami’s most talented receiving tight end in years. Expect for the Dolphins to line him up in various spots and deploy him in various packages, to catch defenses off guard. He has the skill set to line up outside at receiver if Miami chooses.

Fantasy Impact:

Mike Mayock was quoted as saying it will be a tough duty for a safety or linebacker to cover Gesicki in space, while Charles Davis said Gesicki plays "above the rim" on the football field, according to the story. Gesicki is our No. 13 ranked tight end.

TE Mike Gesicki 'emerging' at Dolphins camp

Florida Football Insiders

Aug 03, 2018 · 10:13 PM EDT

According to Florida Football Insiders, rookie tight end Mike Gesicki is "emerging as an athletic big target for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, especially in the red zone".

Fantasy Impact:

Gesicki is an elite athlete at his position with basketball and volleyball in his background. He has a great shot at emerging right away as a fantasy presence after the Dolphins traded Jarvis Landry this offseason. Gesicki is the No. 23 tight end off the board in fantasy drafts.
