Bottom Line

Gesicki hit rock bottom in 2022. He never developed into a reliable fantasy option, despite a dynamic Fins offense that needed a true No. 3 target.

New England provides an opportunity to rehab his value on a one-year deal. There’s just no ceiling here beyond TE-streamer territory.

What We Learned Last Year
  • First-year Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel wasn’t a big fan of Geciski. The veteran TE set four-year lows in routes run (379), targets (52), catches (32), and yards (362).
  • He at least remained durable. Gesicki’s now played 17 games in back to back seasons.
  • Still, he posted only one top-6 fantasy week; three inside the top-12. He finished worse than TE18 12 times.
  • On the year, Gesicki ranked as the fantasy TE23.
  • Among 27 TEs with 50+ targets, Gesicki ranked 22nd in Pro Football Focus receiving grade, 26th in catch rate, 26th in yards after catch per reception, and 25th in yards per route run.
  • He was charted with only one missed tackle forced all season, per PFF.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Gesicki signed a one-year deal in March with $3.5 million guaranteed.
  • He’ll join a TE corps featuring Hunter Henry, who’s entering a contract year.
  • Held back by a poorly designed offense, Henry tallied a down year in 2022: 59 targets, 41 catches, 509 yards, and two TDs on an 11.3% target share.
  • Gesicki gets a boost from a Pats offense that looks thin elsewhere. JuJu Smith-Schuster (who also arrived in free agency) is the unit’s only notable pass catcher.
  • HC Bill O’Brien returns to the team as a massive play-calling upgrade.
  • We don’t anticipate a pass-happy approach, given the current personnel. Current projections have the Pats at a 58% pass rate – right around league average.
  • Mac Jones’ ability to play closer to his rookie-year level will be key. Jones’ numbers fell off across the board in ‘22, but we’re optimistic he’ll improve in year three alongside O’Brien.

Mike Gesicki Back Following Shoulder Injury

Patriots TE Mike Gesicki (shoulder) returned to practice on Tuesday. He wore a red, non-contact jersey. The former Dolphin isn’t someone we’re counting on for anything close to TE1 production. Hunter Henry, who made our list of undervalued fantasy football players, is the TE target in New England.

Patriots TE Mike Gesicki suffered a "mild" dislocated shoulder in Monday's practice, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "While nothing is given, the hope is he’s back for Week 1 despite the AC joint injury," Rapoport adds. We're not adjusting Gesicki's projections for now but will keep a close eye on his recovery from this injury.

Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle has been placed on the COVID list. He's a long shot to be cleared in time to play vs. the Jets on Sunday. His absence would leave WR DeVante Parker and TE Mike Gesicki as the clear top 2 options in Miami's passing game -- assuming they avoid the COVID list. QB Tua Tagovailoa's Week 15 fantasy stock takes a sizable hit without Waddle.

Dolphins WR Will Fuller (finger) won't play vs. the Ravens on Thursday night, HC Brian Flores said. There's no timetable for Fuller's return. With WR DeVante Parker on IR, WR Jaylen Waddle and TE Mike Gesicki will continue to dominate Dolphins targets.
