Mike Gesicki Fantasy Football Week 14: Start or Sit Against the Cowboys?
As we head into Week 14 of the NFL season, fantasy football owners are facing critical decisions, especially when it comes to players like Mike Gesicki. The tight end for the Cincinnati Bengals is about to face off against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, and this matchup has raised several questions about whether he should be a part of your starting lineup.
Gesicki’s performance this season has been a mixed bag, leaving many fantasy managers unsure about his value. In 2024, Gesicki ranks 21st among tight ends with just 53.6 fantasy points through the first 12 games. His average of 4.9 fantasy points per game is far from impressive, but recent performances show that he can occasionally provide solid value. In the past three games alone, Gesicki has totaled 8.3 fantasy points (2.8 per game), and while that’s not a huge boost, it’s worth noting he has recorded 83 yards from 9 catches on 16 targets over that span.

What makes Week 14 even more intriguing is the matchup against the Cowboys, whose defense has been effective, ranking 10th in pass defense, allowing just 212.1 yards per game. However, the Cowboys have allowed some big performances, with four players going over 100 receiving yards against them this season, which could give Gesicki a glimmer of hope for a potential breakout. On the downside, the Cowboys' defense has only allowed 17 touchdown passes, and no player has caught more than one touchdown against them. This suggests that while Gesicki may see a fair share of targets, his chances of reaching the end zone could be limited.
In his best game of the season, Gesicki posted 22 fantasy points against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 9, catching 5 passes for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns. But, in his worst game, he posted -0.9 points against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4, making it clear that his consistency has been an issue. Despite his ups and downs, Gesicki is still capable of delivering a strong performance, but he’s far from a lock for fantasy production.
Looking ahead, Gesicki's matchup against the Cowboys is not the most favorable, but with a projected 4.1 fantasy points for Week 14, he’s likely a high-risk, high-reward option. If you’re looking for a tight end with more guaranteed production, it might be wise to explore other options, but if you're in need of a flyer or looking for a potential upside play, Gesicki could still surprise you in this Monday night showdown.
