"Gesicki re-signed with the Bengals after a strong finish to his first year with the team. After falling completely off the fantasy radar the prior two seasons, Gesicki finished top 15 in routes, targets, catches, yardage and end zone targets in 2024. He struggled to find the end zone (exactly two TDs for the third time in four seasons), but finished 18th in fantasy PPG. Gesicki was boom/bust (four games with 14-plus points, but 11 with 9 points or fewer), but he peaked late with position-best marks in targets (22), catches (18), receiving yards (154) and fantasy points (33.4) during Weeks 17 and 18. Gesicki is a situational player and will need to fend off newcomer Noah Fant, but he will benefit from Joe Burrow and the league's pass-heaviest offense. He's a bench option in deep leagues."


"Gesicki didn't make the same impact as he did in 2024, when he caught 65 passes for 665 yards and two touchdowns. The Bengals made a point of bringing back Gesicki this past offseason, instead of continuing their practice of signing discount rental tight ends. Obviously, Joe Burrow's toe injury that forced him to miss eight games hurt Gesicki's production, as did the latter's pectoral injury. Gesicki will be back for the 2026 season."

Trends


"Godwin has had some big seasons during his eight years in the league, but he was well on his way to his best one yet in 2024 prior to suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 7. In his seven games, the veteran receiver averaged 19.7 fantasy PPG and caught 79% of his passes, both of which ranked second at the position. Perhaps most notably, Godwin scored five TDs in seven games, which was somewhat unsustainable (2.1 xTD) but nonetheless a step forward after he totaled 10 TDs the prior three seasons (46 games). Godwin is still in his prime at age 29 and now seemingly Baker Mayfield's top target, but he's going to miss games to open the season. Once back, he's well positioned for a big comeback season and could rise as high as WR1 territory. He's best valued as a midround lottery ticket."


"Godwin's uninspiring finish was a somewhat fitting end to a career-worst season for the accomplished veteran, who failed to hit the 50-catch mark for the first time since his rookie 2017 campaign. He didn't make his season debut until Week 4 while completing his recovery from a 2024 ankle injury, and after posting matching three-catch, 26-yard efforts in his first two games, the Penn State product went on to log five consecutive absences due to a fibula injury. Godwin ultimately managed just one 100-yard performance and finished with a career-low 7.1 yards per target, making it close to a throwaway campaign from a fantasy perspective. He's under contract for the 2026 season at a significant cap hit of $33.7 million thanks in large part to a $22 million base salary, so a restructuring or potential parting of the ways appears to be in the cards this offseason."
