BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2
ANALYSIS: Starting Mike Gesicki of the Cincinnati Bengals this week depends heavily on the status of Tee Higgins. With Higgins sidelined in Week 8, Gesicki stepped up as a prime target in the passing game, boasting a 60% route share and a solid 21.6% target share.
He had his best performance of the season, hauling in 7-of-9 targets for 73 yards versus the Philadelphia Eagles. If Higgins is out again this week, Gesicki's fantasy value sees a significant boost heading into the matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Raiders have been pretty average against tight ends, making this a potentially favorable matchup for Gesicki. However, if Higgins returns, Gesicki's relevance and target potential will be limited.
In 14+ team leagues, you might consider starting Gesicki if Higgins is inactive, but in most leagues, he should remain on the bench. Gesicki's fantasy viability hinges on the health of both Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase, making him a risky option this week. Overall, if Higgins plays, it is best to sit the TE and look for more trustworthy options.
