BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki has become a reliable option for quarterback Joe Burrow in the middle of the field. In Week 1, Gesicki caught three passes for 18 yards and almost reeled in a touchdown. Then, last week, the 28-year-old brought in seven catches for 91 yards. That makes the Bengals tight end a sneaky fantasy option this week.
He has a 20.6% target share through two weeks and now faces a Washington secondary that has had its struggles to start the season. Despite the Commanders allowing just one catch to tight ends this year, Gesicki is still a strong play in most 14-plus team leagues.
Bengals air yards this season:
Mike Gesicki (95)
Andrei Iosivas (73)
Trenton Irwin (68)
Jermaine Burton (68)

The Bengals playmaker has seen 13 targets in two weeks and just finished as the TE5 in PPR formats in Week 2. His playing time is a bit concerning -- as he has played less than 50% of the Bengals' offensive snaps in both contests -- but Gesicki has been quite involved on offense when he has been on the field. As a result, he is a solid TE1 option in some leagues this week.
