From the article

Gesicki is listed as a tight end, but he is effectively another wide receiver for Cincinnati. He will line up outside a lot, and with Iosivas out, we could see him start taking snaps in the slot. After five receptions, 78 yards, and a touchdown in Week 1, Gesicki went without a catch in Week 2. Look for Gesicki's role to increase now that Iosivas is out of the lineup.

Gesicki's slot role expands with Iosivas out; expect increased snaps and targets.

Mike Gesicki is listed as a tight end but functions as an additional wide receiver for Cincinnati, lining up outside frequently. With Andrei Iosivas out, Gesicki is expected to increase his role and take snaps in the slot. After posting 5 receptions, 78 yards, and 1 touchdown in Week 1, Gesicki went without a catch in Week 2, but his expanded opportunity with Iosivas sidelined should boost his involvement.
