Joe Burrow's bounce-back game gives the Bengals momentum going into final 2 games of the season

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow bounced back from a tough game with a stellar performance

3 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Grabs TD in Week 16 win Gesicki caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins.

Impact The veteran tight end caught the fourth of Joe Burrow's four scores on the day, hauling in a 17-yard TD in the fourth quarter. Gesicki has made just two trips to the end zone in 11 games this season, but they've both come in the last three weeks, a stretch in which he's posted a 10-132-2 line on 12 targets. He'll look to exploit another soft matchup in Week 17 against the Cardinals.

5 DAYS AGO • BENGALS.COM

Disappointing day in loss to Ravens Gesicki had just one catch for 11 yards on three targets in the Bengals' shutout loss to the Ravens.

Impact When Tee Higgins (concussion) missed games last season, Gesicki was frequently a big target for Joe Burrow, but the Ravens locked down on him on Sunday. One of those targets was a seam ball on fourth down when the Ravens had two defenders on Gesicki, ending in an incompletion and a turnover on downs.

NFL Week 14 Team of the Week: Josh Allen and Puka Nacua Headline Squad

Stellar production in narrow loss Gesicki brought in all six targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in the Bengals' 39-34 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Gesicki finished tied with Tee Higgins for the team lead in receptions and as the runner-up to his teammate in receiving yards, and both figures were also new season highs. The veteran tight end also scored his first touchdown of the campaign on a 12-yard grab with just under nine minutes remaining. Gesicki has proven to have good chemistry with Joe Burrow, so he'll remain a viable option at a tricky fantasy position in a Week 15 home rematch with the Ravens next Sunday.

Impact While the game flow was considerably different than against the Pats, there was still plenty of passing volume to go around, with Joe Burrow throwing 46 passes. Gesicki has yet to score in the eight games in which he's played this year.

NOVEMBER 28 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Four catches in return Gesicki caught four of six targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 26-20 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Making his return from a four-game absence due to a pectoral strain, Gesicki paced Cincinnati tight ends in volume, as Noah Fant, Tanner Hudson and Drew Sample each had just one catch and none topped nine yards. The Bengals' passing game could look very different in Week 13 if Joe Burrow (toe) is ready to return, but with Tee Higgins (concussion) potentially unavailable, there could be targets available once again for Gesicki in a Thanksgiving clash with the Ravens. Through seven appearances this season, he's managed a 12-96-0 line on 22 targets.

NOVEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Comes off IR The Bengals activated Gesicki (pectoral) from injured reserve Friday.

Impact Since injuring his pectoral Week 6 at Green Bay, Gesicki has missed the requisite four games on IR, and his ability to practice in full Wednesday and Thursday was enough for Cincinnati to bring him back to the active roster ahead of the weekend. He thus will be among the top TE options along with Noah Fant for whoever is helming the offense Sunday against the Patriots. Those options include Joe Burrow (toe, IR) and Joe Flacco (right shoulder).

Full participant in return Gesicki (pectoral) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Bengals opened Gesicki's practice window Wednesday, with full participation suggesting he has a chance to be activated from injured reserve before Sunday's game against New England. The Bengals have used a committee at tight end all season, but there may not be room for Tanner Hudson once Gesicki is ready to play.

Practice window opens The Bengals announced Wednesday that Gesicki (pectoral) has been designated to return from IR.

Impact Gesicki will now kick off a 21-day window wherein he can practice without counting against the active roster. He can be added to the 53-man roster at any point in that span, making him tentatively eligible to retake the field as early as Sunday's game against the Patriots, health pending. Once fully healthy, Gesicki is expected to reclaim the No. 1 tight end role in Cincinnati from Noah Fant.

NOVEMBER 19 • ROTOWIRE

Recovery progress encouraging Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Wednesday that the team has seen "encouraging" recovery progress from Gesicki (pectoral), Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Impact Gesicki remains on IR and isn't eligible to return in time for Sunday's game against the Steelers, though he could have his 21-day practice window opened in advance of Cincinnati's contest against the Patriots in Week 12. It's possible, however, that Gesicki could require more time to get healthy. Noah Fant has handled an expanded role in the receiving game in Gesicki's absence, and he will continue to do so for at least one more week.
