“I played receiver last year, I’m playing tight end now”
All throughout practice this month, Mike Gesicki has been less a focal point of the offense than he was a year ago. “It’s definitely a whole different offense, a whole different scheme.

Nerdy Football Analysis: It sounds like Gesicki is going to be asked to block more in this offense which could lead to fewer targets. It also means he will share the field more often with fellow tight end Durham Smythe. Gesicki is probably overvalued this point as the current TE12 in PPR leagues.
