Gesicki sits as a sleeper in Cincinnati’s high-powered 2025 offense, with Burrow explicitly targeting him in free agency and slot duties leaning his way. The move could push Gesicki into solid fantasy value, especially in DFS where his route-running niche and Burrow’s volume reduce risk. With Chase and Higgins drawing top coverage, Gesicki could feast on targeted opportunities as the primary in-slot option.

Last season Gesicki piled up 83 targets for 665 yards and 2 touchdowns; another year in the system may unlock more, while the Bengals’ TE mix (Sample, Fant) isn’t projected to siphon a huge share. Higgins’ injury risk adds potential upside for Gesicki, making him a shrewd value in drafts around TE27 and priced well for DFS leverage and weekly upside.
