Erik Beimfohr spotlighted Mike Gesicki as his favorite late-round tight end when punting the position. Gesicki joins a Bengals offense that already throws on 60% of neutral-situation snaps and just lost Tyler Boyd and Irv Smith, leaving 125 vacated targets over the middle. Gesicki posted a 17% target share and finished TE7 in 2021, still ranking top-10 among active tight ends in down-field targets. At 6’6” with 4.54 speed, he gives Joe Burrow a seam-stretching, red-zone weapon Cincinnati has lacked since C.J. Uzomah. With an ADP outside the top 180, drafters are paying for a TE3 but getting legitimate double-digit-target upside in projected shoot-outs. Beimfohr is comfortable reaching a round early on Gesicki in three-tight-end builds, viewing him as low-risk, league-winning leverage if his route rate spikes.
