Mike Gesicki Benefits from Tee Higgins Absence

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki tied his season high by playing 31 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. That also set a season high at 53.4% snap share. Gesicki ranked second on the team in targets (8), receptions (7), and receiving yards (73).

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Gesicki clearly benefited from the Bengals missing WR Tee Higgins. He drew 5 targets in the first half, which Cincinnati finished tied 10-10.

Gesircki played fewer than 20 snaps each of the previous two weeks and hadn't seen more than 2 targets in a game since Week 3.

He'll be worth a look for a Week 9 meeting with the Raiders if Higgins remains out.
