Mike Gesicki Fantasy

While Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki's final line wasn't impressive, his usage in a 59-10 blowout against the Ravens on Sunday was. Gesicki caught two of his six targets for 35 yards, including a 26-yard reception in the first quarter. More notably, though, Gesicki was also the only tight end targeted in the game and his six targets were second on the team only to wide receiver Devante Parker. If Gesicki continues to get such high usage, he could theoretically be viable as a TE1 in PPR leagues. But theoretical is a long way from practical and as long as the Dolphins offense remains a dumpster fire, Gesicki - or any other Dolphin - will be a risky play. The Dolphins are at home again next week against the Patriots, who are coming off a 33-3 drubbing of the Steelers in Week 1.

Dolphins tight endMike Gesicki had a successful preseason, catching six passes for 79 yards in his three games. Notably, Gesicki's best performance was in the third game, when he played in seven drives with starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, catching three balls for 59 yards, including a 29-yard catch and run. While the Dolphins aren't going to be a great offense, head coach Brian Flores plans on running an offense similar to the one ran by his former employer in New England, with an emphasis on the tight end. Couple that mentality with an offense that has even fewer weapons after Kenny Stills was traded, and you have the making of a sleeper tight end in Gesicki, who has a current 251 ADP in NFBC.

Second-year tight end Mike Gesicki was the offensive star in Miami's preseason victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night, hauling in all three of his targets for a total of 59 yards. This included a 29-yard catch-and-run to start off the second quarter with Gesicki catching a 16-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick before scampering for another 13 yards. Seemingly still behind teammate Nick O'Leary on the depth chart, Gesicki is being drafted first of the two, even though neither should be on your fantasy radar until the Dolphins prove that their offense is anything but mediocre.
