Mike Gesicki Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins have placed the franchise tag on tight end Mike Gesicki. He is set to make $10.93 million in 2022. He played more snaps out of the slot than any other tight end in 2021. The 26-year-old set career-highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (780) and was the team's second leading receiver last season, behind only rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. He becomes the second tight end to receive a franchise tag along with Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku. Gesicki will have a crucial role in new head coach Mike McDaniel's offense and is a low-TE1 now that he remains with the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins impending free-agent tight end Mike Gesicki set career-highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (780) and was the team's second leading receiver in 2021 behind only rookie wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Miami will have plenty of salary cap space and could look to put as many offensive weapons around quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as possible this offseason. The franchise tag, which is just under $11 million for tight ends, is a distinct possibility for Gesicki. Of course, that's if new head coach Mike McDaniel thinks Gesicki is a good fit for the offense moving forward. The 26-year-old could be a nice value pick as a low-end TE1 option in 2022 fantasy drafts if he remains with the Dolphins.

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been a frustrating player to roster over the second half of the season. Although, he was able to do some damage against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. He hauled in four of his seven targets for 51 yards in loss. Those 51 yards actually led the team on a day where quarterback Tua Tagovailoa barely threw for 200 yards. Despite this performance, Gesicki hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 7, which hurts his value. He'll be high-end TE2 for the regular season finale against the New England Patriots.
