Mike Gesicki

Week 16 vs. Cleveland Browns
This week, Mike Gesicki will take on a Browns defense that has been far more susceptible to the position than the first time these teams met back in Week 7. In fact, since Cleveland’s Week 11 bye, they have allowed the most completions (35), the sixth-most yards (339), and the eighth-highest EPA/play (0.37) to tight ends. The veteran TE has a decent enough mix of floor and ceiling to make a viable Week 16 play as a streaming option.

Week 11 @ Los Angeles Chargers
Tee Higgins is back in the lineup, so we should lower our expectations of Mike Gesicki as a streaming commodity. With Higgins on the field to this point, Gesicki has averaged 1.8 targets for 1.6 catches, 14.2 yards, and 2.2 fantasy points per game. There are better options this week.

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.
