Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been designated to return from IR and will practice on Wednesday. He's been out since Week 6, and it's still unclear if he'll be ready to play vs. the Patriots this weekend. Cincinnati could certainly use Gesicki with WR Ja'Marr Chase suspended for this game. Gesicki wouldn't be a bankable Week 12 fantasy play, but his return would knock TE Noah Fant out of spot-start consideration.
