STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

Gesicki's 5/78/1 line was elite but unsustainable given his 46% route share.

Gesicki posted a 5/78/1 receiving line in Week 1's Bucs shootout, which would have been his second-best fantasy score of the entire 2025 season and earned him a top-12 finish. However, he ran routes on just 46 percent of Joe Burrow's dropbacks while leading the team in targets despite playing alongside Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. The source notes this efficiency is impressive but unlikely to repeat, positioning Gesicki as an interesting stash rather than a weekly starter.
