From the article

Gesicki's scoring streak is unsustainable. He has seen a respectable four end zone targets, but his 3.1 expected TD total (xTD) is still well below his actual output. Gesicki sports a 9.2% target share (same as in 2025), which isn't nearly high enough to allow consistent fantasy TE1 production.

Gesicki's unsustainable TD streak masks weak target share; avoid against Falcons.

Gesicki's touchdown scoring streak is unsustainable; he has scored exactly one touchdown in six of seven games (including five consecutive), totaling six scores on 24 targets in 2026 against an expected TD total (xTD) of 3.1. His 9.2% target share (same as 2025) is insufficient for consistent TE1 production, as evidenced by his two games prior to Week 8 when he totaled 10 yards on three targets. The source advises he should not be near lineups against Atlanta.
