The 4-10 Cincinnati Bengals head down to South Beach to take on the 6-8 Miami Dolphins as 4.5-point favorites this Sunday. Joe Burrow will face off with Quinn Ewers in a battle of two eliminated teams. The Bengals are dealing with injuries to Tee Higgins and Noah Fant, but I still expect Joe Burrow to let it loose in south Florida with nothing to play for.
Below, we’ll go over Mike Gesicki’s outlook in fantasy football for Week 16.
Fantasy Football analysis: Bengals, TE, Mike Gesicki
Tee Higgins is questionable and needs to be cleared of his concussion before he can play, while TE Noah Fant is out. If Higgins is out, I feel pretty good about Gesicki and would start him. But if Higgins can play, it makes things a little tougher. I still like Gesicki’s upside with Fant out though,
The Dolphins have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends this season and Gesicki had a strong game two weeks ago against a good tight end defense in Buffalo. Last week he did bupkis, but nobody on the Bengals did much of anything as they were shutout by the Ravens. I’d of course prefer Higgins was out if I’m playing Gesicki, but I think I’d start him either way.
