Mike Gesicki - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Poised to bounce back Gesicki is slated to be the Bengals' top pass-catching tight end to begin the 2026 season.

Impact In the wake of the NFL's cut-down day, Gesicki's main competition for offensive snaps is blocking TE Drew Sample, who has combined for 57 catches over his last 51 regular-season games. Meanwhile, 2024 fourth-round pick Erick All is finally back healthy after missing all of 2025 due to a torn ACL, while rookie seventh-rounder Jack Endries is the only other TE on the active roster. Gesicki posted a disappointing 28-307-2 line on 42 targets in 13 regular-season contests last year, but he's just two years removed from a 65-665-2 receiving line in his first campaign as a Bengal in 2024.

One target in preseason opener Gesicki didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 16-14 preseason win over the Lions.

Impact Gesicki's lone target came on a pass from Joe Burrow on the game's second possession. Cincinnati's starters exited the contest shortly thereafter. The 30-year-old Gesicki is tentatively penciled in atop a Bengals tight end depth chart that also includes Drew Sample, Erick All, Tanner Hudson and Jack Endries, the last of whom caught a four-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter from backup quarterback Joe Flacco.

Impact Also competing for TE slotting are Erick All (knee), Tanner Hudson, Jack Endries, Cam Grandy and Josh Kattus. Gesicki saw his production drop last season to 28 catches (on 42 targets) for 307 yards and two TDs in 13 regular-season games, down from the 65-665-2 line he posted in 2024, his first year with Cincinnati. Four missed games of his own, along with injuries limiting star QB Joe Burrow to eight regular-season appearances in 2025 didn't help Gesicki's cause, but with Noah Fant (34 catches on 41 targets) no longer in the mix, Gesicki has a chance to rebound as secondary target with some streaming utility in a 2026 passing attack that will continue to lean heavily on WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins, as well as RB Chase Brown.

Minimal impact in finale Gesicki had two catches for 13 yards in Sunday's loss to the Browns, catching both of his targets. He finished the season with 28 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns while pla...

Impact 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 injury that forced him to miss eight games hurt Gesicki's production, as did Gesicki's pectoral injury. He'll be back for the 2026 season.

Two catches in big win Gesicki caught both his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals.

Impact The tight end caught multiple passes for the fifth time in the last six games, a stretch in which he's put together an 18-233-2 line on 24 targets. Gesicki isn't a key part of the Bengals' passing attack, but he's been an effective complementary option and he'll carry some momentum into a Week 18 clash with the Browns.

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.

Quick Hits | How Mike Gesicki Helped Joe Burrow Become A Bengal, Plus Help Him Make History On Sunday Notes and quotes after Friday's practice:

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • 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.
