FantasyPros Articles on Mike Gesicki
From the article
The fact that Gesicki played so few snaps and was out-targeted by Chase/Tee Higgins by a decent chunk has me concerned about whether this is truly sustainable. Not to mention that he's popped off in certain matchups in previous seasons, only to fade away the following week. Do not overinflate his Week 1 performance.
STACKED’s take
Gesicki's 33.3% snap share and historical fade pattern signal Week 1 performance may not sustain.
Gesicki tied for the team target lead with 7 targets on just a 33.3% snap share, thanks to a 47.2% route-participation rate—he's a route-concentrated weapon, not a volume-snap player. He scored from the 2-yard line, added +22 receiving yards over expected (RYOE)—his third-most in a game as a Bengal—and he ran 76.5% of his routes from the slot, catching 4 of his 6 slot targets for 76 yards (+21 RYOE) at a 46.2% slot target rate, his highest as a Bengal. However, the source expresses concern about sustainability: 'The fact that Gesicki played so few snaps and was out-targeted by Chase/Tee Higgins by a decent chunk has me concerned about whether this is truly sustainable. Not to mention that he's popped off in certain matchups in previous seasons, only to fade away the following week.' The source advises not to overinflate his Week 1 performance.
