The 4-8 Cincinnati Bengals head to Orchard Park this Sunday to face the 8-4 Buffalo Bills as 5.5 point underdogs. The Bengals still have a chance to make the playoffs, but the odds are long. Getting Joe Burrow back is of course a big boon as they try to make late season hay.
A key part of the Bengals offense is WR Tee Higgins, who missed last week with a concussion. He was able to practice on a limited basis Wednesday, but that’s a good sign he’ll be cleared before Sunday. If he returns, it will take a lot of targets from other possible fantasy plays, including Mike Gesicki’s.

Below, we’ll review Mike Gesicki’s fantasy football outlook for Week 14.
Fantasy Football Analysis: Bengals, TE, Mike Gesicki
Gesicki returned two weeks ago from IR and caught 4 of 6 targets for 35 yards against the Patriots. Then last week he caught 2 of 4 targets for 19 yards against the Ravens. In his second game, he actually saw fewer snaps than in his first game. That’s the problem with the Bengals tight ends, you can’t count on consistent work. In the past, Higgins’ absence was almost automatically a big game for Gesicki, but not last week. And now he gets the Bills, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in the league. So even if Higgins were to miss this week, I would still be wary of starting Gesicki.
