From the article

Gesicki turned in a 5/78/1 receiving line in a shootout with the Bucs. That would've been his second-best fantasy score of the entire 2025 season and will give him a top-12 finish in Week 1. The downside is that he ran a route on just 46 percent of Joe Burrow's dropbacks.

Gesicki's 5/78/1 line won't repeat; interesting stash, not weekly starter.

Gesicki posted a 5/78/1 receiving line in Week 1's shootout with Tampa Bay, his second-best fantasy score of the entire 2025 season and a top-12 finish for the week. However, he ran routes on just 46 percent of Joe Burrow's dropbacks—leading a team with Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins in targets while running fewer than half the routes. The source does not expect this to repeat and profiles him as an interesting stash rather than a weekly starter.
