Week 9 vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Scoring 8.8 half-PPR points at the tight end position is nothing to sneeze at, but we’ve seen that Mike Gesicki’s usable fantasy weeks are very heavily correlated to Tee Higgins’ availability, so his viability gets a huge bump with his teammate out. In three games in which Higgins has been sidelined, Gesicki averages seven targets, 5.6 receptions, 60.7 receiving yards, and 8.2 fantasy points. With Higgins on the field, those numbers drop to 1.8 targets, 1.6 catches, 14.2 yards, and 2.2 fantasy points.
He's a good streamer for those in need for Week 9.
