BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Through the first three weeks, Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki looked like a strong weekly play. He caught at least four passes in Week 2 and Week 3. However, Gesicki played a season-low 33% of the team's offensive snaps last week. That led to him totaling just one catch for negative nine yards.
So, heading into a Week 5 matchup against the Ravens, Gesicki is a riskier TE1 option in 16-plus team leagues. He hasn't played more than 50% of the Bengals' offensive snaps in any game this season, and rookie Erick All Jr. appears to be the preferred tight end in that Cincinnati offense. All played 60% of the team's offensive snaps last week while catching four passes.
Despite a rough Week 4, Mike Gesicki is still 2nd on Cincinnati in targets, receptions, and receiving yards this season.

If you're looking for a tight end this week, though, Gesicki could be a fine play in 16-plus team leagues. The Bengals will likely need to throw a lot in this game, and Baltimore has allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.
