Mike Gesicki Set For Week 12 Return

Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) put in a full week of practice and was activated from IR on Friday. He'll play vs. the Patriots for the first time since Week 6. It's good timing for the Bengals, who will be without WR Ja'Marr Chase. Gesicki had some big games with WR Tee Higgins out last season and could be leaned on against New England. But he'd be tough to trust in fantasy lineups coming off the long layoff. Gesicki's return also knocks TE Noah Fant out of fantasy consideration.
