Player Outlook
Gesicki, who gets a fresh start with the Patriots this season, will compete for playing time with Hunter Henry, and he has minimal Fantasy value even if he's the starter. Gesicki is only worth drafting in deep, tight-end premium leagues. It seems difficult to expect Patriots quarterback Mac Jones to support both Henry and Gesicki at a high level, and Gesicki is coming off a down campaign in 2022 when he averaged just 5.8 PPR points per game. His best season was in 2020 when he averaged 10.6 PPR points per game for Miami, but he's unlikely to reach that level of production again this season. At best, target Gesicki off the waiver wire if he starts off the season playing well.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Logs one catch versus Jets

    Gesicki caught his only target in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets for 18 yards. Gesicki logged 34 of a possible 72 snaps on offense Sunday, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, while Hunter Henry recorded 68 snaps and two catches and Pharaoh Brown parlayed his 25 snaps into a 2-71-1 receiving line. After combining for nine catches (on 10 targets) for 87 yards through his first three outings with the Patriots, Gesicki remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option due to the team's TE timeshare.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Fives catches versus former team

    Gesicki, who was on the field for 53 of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Dolphins, caught five of his six targets for 33 yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. The Patriots found a way to keep both of their tight ends involved Sunday, with Hunter Henry logging 68 snaps while catching six of his seven targets for 52 yards and a TD. However, as long as a TE timeshare remains the norm for the team, Gesicki's bankable fantasy ceiling will be be capped. Next up for New England is a Week 3 matchup with the 1-1 Jets.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Three catches in Week 1

    Gesicki, who was on the field for 33 of a possible 80 snaps on offense in Sunday's season-opening 25-20 loss to the Eagles, caught all three of his targets for 36 yards in his regular-season debut with the Patriots, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Meanwhile, fellow TE Hunter Henry logged 63 snaps while catching five of his six targets for 56 yards and a TD. As the season progresses, there figures to be weeks where Gesicki sees more targets, but as long as Henry is available, the former looks like a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Not on injury report

    Gesicki (shoulder) wasn't listed Wednesday on the Patriots' Week 1 injury report. Gesicki suffered a mild shoulder dislocation in mid-August, but he's good to go as Sunday's season opener against the Eagles approaches. In his first season in New England, Gesicki is expected to share snaps and targets at tight end with Hunter Henry, and the Patriots are likely to feature a fair amount of two-tight end sets that will allow both players to share the field. The potential for a timeshare could result in Gesicki's weekly target volume fluctuating, but he could carve out fantasy utility in 2023 nonetheless, given his pass-catching prowess.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Not playing Friday

    Gesicki (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Friday's preseason game in Tennessee, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports. Gesicki thus won't see any exhibition action with his new team, partly due to the mild shoulder dislocation that he sustained during practice on Aug. 14. He'll turn his focus to getting healthy for a Week 1 matchup with the Eagles on Sept. 10, when he'll potentially team with Hunter Henry as the Patriots' top TE duo.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Wearing non-contact jersey

    Gesicki (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday in a non-contact jersey, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports. Gesicki continues to work his way back from a mild shoulder dislocation. The Patriots remain optimistic about his chances of suiting up for Week 1's matchup against the Eagles, and resuming non-contact reps is a step in the right direction. Still, Gesicki doesn't seem likely to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Titans.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Suffered mild shoulder dislocation

    Gesicki suffered a mild shoulder dislocation in practice Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Patriots are hoping Gesicki will still be able to suit up Week 1 against the Eagles despite the shoulder injury, but it seems likely that the issue will sideline him the remainder of the preseason. Anthony Firkser and Matt Sokol will be candidates to handle increased reps at tight end behind Hunter Henry. Any missed preseason reps could prove significant for Gesicki, as Henry has already established himself in New England's offense and built a connection with Mac Jones.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Hurt in practice Monday

    Gesicki left Monday's practice after suffering an unspecified injury on a tackling drill, Zack Cox of NESN reports. Gesicki was hurt after being tackled by Jahlani Tavai. The exact nature of the injury has yet to be disclosed, but Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site believes the injury was to Gesicki's right arm. An update on the tight end's status should surface ahead of New England's next preseason game Saturday in Green Bay.

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Slated to work alongside Henry

    This coming season, the Patriots appear likely to employ a good amount of two-tight end sets featuring Gesicki and Hunter Henry, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. The report notes that over the last two seasons the Patriots ranked 25th in 12-personnel usage, but with Gesicki now in the mix instead of Jonnu Smith, look for the team to find ways to utilize the newcomer's natural pass-catching skills and alignment flexibility in tandem with Henry. Assuming new offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien does in fact allocate ample snaps to New England's top TE duo, Gesicki has a good chance to see an uptick from the 32-362-5 receiving line he put up while logging 52 targets (down from 112 in 2021) in 17 games with the Dolphins last season. Per Lazar, the 27-year-old free-agent addition was "impactful in OTAs and minicamp sessions running the seam, stretching the field horizontally, and showing decent separation quickness."

  • Patriots' Mike Gesicki: Inked by New England

    Gesicki agreed Friday with the Patriots on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Gesicki remains in the AFC East, moving on after five seasons with the Dolphins to sign with a division rival. The athletic tight end took a back seat to Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle in 2022, with just a 32-362-5 receiving line through 17 regular-season appearances, but he logged two straight seasons with 700-plus receiving yards from 2020-21. Now in New England, Gesicki is set to form a tight end tandem with Hunter Henry, a superior blocker and capable pass catcher in his own right. Gesicki, however, boasts deep-threat and YAC abilities unique to the Patriots' tight end room, giving him the potential to emerge as an interesting fantasy option if he can establish a successful rapport with Mac Jones this offseason.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Likely to depart as free agent

    Gesicki is expected to part ways with the Dolphins as a free agent this offseason, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports. Gesicki secured 32 of 52 targets for 362 yards and five touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2022, and general manager Chris Grier said he has "earned the right to be a free agent" after a year playing on the franchise tag. The tight end appeared a questionable fit in coach Mike McDaniel's scheme even ahead of this past campaign, and despite Miami's coaching staff relaying continued optimism that the athletic tight end would keep a key role on offense, he ended up with his lowest receiving marks since his rookie season. Though Gesicki continued to flash occasional playmaking ability when called upon, his underwhelming utilization in McDaniel's scheme makes it seem unlikely he re-signs with the Dolphins. Other franchises in the league may be more willing to feature Gesicki's receiving skill set.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Productive in Week 18 win

    Gesicki secured four of six targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 11-6 win over the Jets. Gesicki recorded more receiving yardage Week 18 than his last six games combined, showing some sparks with third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson under center. The Dolphins realistically could have either Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) or Teddy Bridgewater (finger) back under center for the upcoming wild-card matchup against the Bills, so it remains to be seen whether Gesicki's trend of more noticeable involvement will continue.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Ends cold streak with touchdown

    Gesicki secured two of four targets for 18 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 23-21 loss to the Patriots. Gesicki recorded more than one catch for the first time since Week 10 and scored for the first time since Week 8 on Sunday, though his yardage total still was modest. The tight end's increased involvement was likely a product of Miami's conservative game plan without Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) in the lineup, a trend that could repeat Week 18 at home against the Jets.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Makes one catch in loss

    Gesicki secured one of two targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Packers. Gesicki has managed only two catches for 29 yards in five games since Miami's bye in Week 11. Regardless of any athletic or big-play ability he's flashed in previous seasons, Gesicki can only be considered an extremely low-floor option heading into a Week 17 divisional clash against the Patriots. Outside of fantasy formats that start multiple tight ends, he doesn't merit consideration for fantasy lineups.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Remains uninvolved

    Gesicki secured his only target for five yards during Saturday's 32-29 loss to the Bills. Gesicki broke his three-game zero-catch streak during Saturday's divisional loss, but not by much. The franchise-tagged tight end hasn't recorded a game with double-digit yards from scrimmage since Week 10, a trend that keeps him off the fantasy radar in almost all formats heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Packers. Gesicki is trending in the direction of his worst statistical season since 2018, his rookie campaign.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Zero-catch streak continues

    Gesicki could not secure either of his two targets during Sunday night's 23-17 loss to the Chargers. Gesicki hasn't recorded a single yard from scrimmage since mid-November, a trend that was established even before Tua Tagovailoa's recent two-game slump. Regardless of his athletic traits and big-play ability, Gesicki's recent floor puts him outside the fantasy radar in most formats heading into a tough Week 15 matchup against the Bills.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: TEs to Sit

    Gesicki hasn't caught a pass in two games on just two targets. The Chargers have also been tough on tight ends not named Darren Waller, Travis Kelce, Greg Dulcich or David Njoku, and those are the only tight ends with more than eight PPR points against this defense. The Chargers also just held Foster Moreau to one catch for 32 yards on three targets in Week 13, and Gesicki might have worse production than that in Week 14 given his recent level of play.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: TEs to Sit

    Gesicki didn't have a catch in Week 12 against Houston on just one target, and he's combined for six PPR points in his past three games. He'll pop up with the occasional good performance here and there, but he's not worth trusting heading into Week 13 at San Francisco. The 49ers haven't allowed a tight end to score a touchdown since Week 6.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Held without a catch

    Gesicki failed to secure his only target during Sunday's 30-15 win over the Texans. Meanwhile, No. 2 tight end Durham Smythe turned his only target into a four-yard touchdown, the only score Tua Tagovailoa threw before exiting Sunday's blowout win early. Tagovailoa has excelled at distributing the ball efficiently, and he connected with nine different targets for completions versus Houston, solidifying the reality that Gesicki's fantasy floor has bottomed out. The athletic tight end is still a big-play threat, but with just three catches in his last three games, it will be difficult for fantasy managers to rely on Gesicki heading into a Week 13 matchup against the 49ers.

  • Dolphins' Mike Gesicki: Only two catches in blowout win

    Gesicki secured two of three targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 39-17 win over the Browns. Gesicki has surpassed 50 receiving yards in only one of his 10 appearances this season, and Sunday's win was a reminder to fantasy managers that the athletic tight end's floor is worrying due to a passing offense that runs through wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. It was Trent Sherfield (5-63-1) who capitalized on complementary target opportunities Week 10, and while Gesicki will remain involved when the Dolphins return from their Week 11 bye, the tight end's fantasy results may not be desirable in contests where he doesn't score.
