Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Touchdown streak snapped
Gesicki caught both of his targets for 11 yards during Sunday's 34-17 win versus Atlanta.
Gesicki entered Week 9 having scored a touchdown in five straight games, and he saw his streak come to an end Sunday. The tight end was able to reel in multiple passes for the second straight week and fifth time this season, but his 11 receiving yards left much to be desired. Gesicki has now reeled in 19 of 26 targets for 252 yards and six touchdowns over eight regular-season games so far this year.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Reaches end zone in OT victory
Gesicki caught four of six targets for 76 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 43-36 overtime win against the Titans.
Gesicki was able to reach the end zone for the fifth straight game, connecting with Joe Burrow for a 25-yard score in the fourth quarter. The tight end's four catches and 76 receiving yards were both his highest totals since Week 1 versus Tampa Bay. Gesicki has now caught 17 of 24 targets for 241 yards and six scores over seven contests to open the regular season.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Scores again in Week 7 win
Gesicki caught his only target for a six-yard touchdown in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Ravens.
Gesicki isn't seeing reliable volume in the form of targets but he's been a big factor in the red zone this season, as he now has five touchdowns in six games. He's already one away from matching his career high, which was set in 2020 with the Dolphins. Gesicki is repping as the Bengals' slot receiver between Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, but the latter two dominate the passing looks from Joe Burrow.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Maximizes one catch in win
Gesicki brought in one of two targets for a four-yard touchdown in the Bengals' 31-24 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Gesicki looked like he might be on his way to a big day against one of his former squads when he capped off the Bengals' lightning-fast opening possession with his scoring grab. However, the veteran tight end was a non-factor the rest of the way, posting his second-lowest totals across the stat sheet over the first five games. Gesicki's week-to-week production can certainly be difficult to trust, but he remains a trusted target of a prolific quarterback in what is still a pass-centric offense.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Stays productive with Week 4 touchdown
Gesicki caught three of five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Jaguars.
With Ja'Marr Chase leaving early in the first half with a concussion, Gesicki played an elevated role behind Tee Higgins and Chase Brown in the Cincinnati offense. Gesicki continues to run the vast majority of his routes out of the slot and should remain in that role while Andrei Iosivas (thumb) is on injured reserve. Gesicki has scored a touchdown in three of the first four games to begin the season and is up to 11 catches for 155 yards and the three scores on 15 targets.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Secures touchdown in loss
Gesicki caught all three of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 30-27 loss to Pittsburgh.
Gesicki took a step back in the right direction after he was blanked in the team's Week 2 victory over Houston. The tight end was able to finished tied with wide receiver Dohnte Meyers for third on the team in catches, and he left his mark on the game in the fourth quarter, connecting with quarterback Joe Burrow for a 25-yard touchdown. Gesicki has now caught eight of 10 targets for 112 yards and two touchdowns over three regular-season contests so far in 2026.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Goose egg in Week 2 win
Gesicki wasn't targeted in Sunday's 20-6 win over the Texans.
One week after leading the team in receiving with a 5-78-1 line on seven targets against the Bucs, Gesicki laid an egg against Houston. He played just 21 of 60 offensive snaps, fewer than both Drew Sample (36) and Erick All (25) at tight end for the Bengals. Despite playing fewer snaps than both, Gesicki led the trio with 20 pass routes, seven more than Sample and 15 more than All. Gesicki is essentially a fourth receiver behind Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins and Andrei Iosivas. Gesicki would need an injury to Chase or Higgins to have a reliable fantasy role.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Leads Bengals pass catchers in Week 1
Gesicki caught five passes on seven targets for 78 yards and a touchdown during the Bengals' 33-27 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Even with the lethal one-two punch of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, it was Gesicki who led the Bengals in catches, targets and receiving yards during Sunday's win, which included a two-yard touchdown pass from Joe Burrow late in the first quarter. Gesicki was also Burrow's go-to target late in the second quarter, with the duo connecting on passes of 16, 11 and 20 yards to help set up a 20-yard field goal from Evan McPherson. Chase, Higgins and running back Chase Brown are still the main playmakers on offense for the Bengals, but Gesicki is more than capable of having games like Sunday. The Bengals will look to start the 2026 season with a 2-0 record next Sunday on the road against the Texans, whose defense gave up 36 points to the Bills and allowed tight end Dalton Kincaid to turn six targets into five catches for 130 yards in Week 1.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: Poised to bounce back
Gesicki is slated to be the Bengals' top pass-catching tight end to begin the 2026 season.
In the wake of the NFL's cutdown day, Gesicki's main competition for offensive snaps is blocking TE Drew Sample, who has combined for 57 catches over his last 51 regular-season games. Meanwhile, 2024 fourth-round pick Erick All is finally back healthy after missing all of 2025 due to a torn ACL, while rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries is the only other TE on the active roster. Gesicki posted a disappointing 28-307-2 line on 42 targets in 13 regular-season contests last year, but he's just two years removed from a 65-665-2 receiving line in his first campaign as a Bengal in 2024.

Bengals' Mike Gesicki: One target in preseason opener
Gesicki didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 16-14 preseason win over the Lions.
Gesicki's lone target came on a pass from Joe Burrow on the game's second possession. Cincinnati's starters exited the contest shortly thereafter. The 30-year-old Gesicki is tentatively penciled in atop a Bengals tight end depth chart that also includes Drew Sample, Erick All, Tanner Hudson and Jack Endries, the last of whom caught a four-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter from backup quarterback Joe Flacco.
