Video: NFL Week 8 Fantasy Football Takeaways: Tony Pollard, Ashton Jeanty, Jonah Coleman and More
Mike Gesicki another touchdown, but we actually had more than one catch there, right? We caught four of six targets for 76 yards. The only people in the NFL with at least six receiving touchdowns, JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Marr Chase, Christian Watson, and of course Mike Gesicki... they gave Gesicki a 74% route share today, which is really far better than what we normally get, usually around the 50% mark... Gesicki just keeps on doing it regardless really of what his role is this year. Like if you look at what he's doing, like he's putting up double-digit fantasy points more often than not... our tight end circle trust is Bowers and McBride, basically. That's it... Gesicki's at least on the board at this point.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Gesicki ties for 6 TDs with elite receivers; 74% route share and consistent double-digit scoring.

Mike Gesicki scored another touchdown and caught 4 of 6 targets for 76 yards in Week 8, now tied with JSN, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Marr Chase, and Christian Watson as the only players in the NFL with at least six receiving touchdowns. He received a 74% route share in this game (well above his usual ~50% mark), though this elevated role may have been inflated by the Bengals falling behind early and the absence of Eric All. Despite role variability, Gesicki continues to produce double-digit fantasy points more often than not this season, earning him a spot in Ian Hartitz's tight end circle of trust alongside Bowers and McBride.
