Fantasy football managers setting their Week 9 lineups should strongly consider starting Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki while benching Dalton Kincaid, according to the latest positional projections and rankings.
Gesicki, wearing number 88 for Cincinnati, reinforced his fantasy appeal with a touchdown reception in the fourth quarter against the Tennessee Titans at Paycor Stadium on November 1, 2026. The score highlighted his red-zone involvement and connection with the Bengals' passing attack.
The Week 9 tight end rankings favor Gesicki based on recent usage patterns and matchup advantages, while Kincaid's projection suggests a lower ceiling for the upcoming slate. Fantasy managers should weigh target share, snap counts, and defensive matchups when finalizing their starting decisions at the position.
