Trends


"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."

"Burden was selected by Chicago in the second round of April's draft. He is a bit undersized (his 8.5-inch hands tied for smallest in this class), but he's very young (21) and was highly relied upon and productive during three seasons at Missouri. He's fast with terrific playmaking ability and can align all over the formation. Burden is set to replace Keenan Allen as Chicago's slot man, but there are a lot of mouths to feed in an offense that also includes DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Colston Loveland. Consistent Year 1 fantasy production is unlikely, so Burden is only worth a late flier."


"Burden went without a catch in the first half before reeling in three passes after the break. The wide receiver was unable to build off of his recent momentum, recording his fewest catches since Week 12 and his lowest yardage total in four weeks. Burden will finish his rookie campaign having caught 47 of 60 targets for 652 yards and two touchdowns while also turning six carries into 37 yards over 15 regular-season contests, and he'll now make his postseason debut in the wild-card round against the Packers next weekend."
