Gesicki's Big Game Amidst Higgins' Absence
14 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Mike Gesicki had a strong receiving performance last week.
- Tee Higgins is out for Week 15 due to concussions.
- Baltimore Ravens limit fantasy points for tight ends.
As the Cincinnati Bengals prepare to host the Baltimore Ravens in a crucial Week 15 matchup, the fantasy football outlook for tight end Mike Gesicki is under the spotlight. The Bengals, currently 4-9 and trailing in the AFC North race, are set to be significant underdogs at home.
While the return of quarterback Joe Burrow from injury is a boost, the team will be without wide receiver Tee Higgins, who has been ruled out after suffering two concussions recently. This absence is expected to elevate Gesicki's role in the Bengals' offense for the upcoming game.
Gesicki showcased his potential in the previous week, recording 6 catches for 92 yards and a touchdown, even with Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase on the field. Despite the challenging weather conditions and the Ravens' strong defense against tight ends, Gesicki is anticipated to be a primary target for Burrow.
