Stop Mike Gesicki
Another Dolphins’ pass catcher who’s been tearing it up lately is tight end Mike Gesicki. He’s coming off a five-catch, 79-yard, one-touchdown performance in the win over the Eagles and he torched the Jets for six catches and 65 yards in Week 9. Gesicki could receive a heavy target share once again if the Jets contain Parker, especially considering the tight ends have averaged about four catches for 42 yards over the past five weeks.
James Burgess and Neville Hewitt have been horrendous in coverage against tight ends this season. They played a huge role in allowing Bengals tight end CJ Uzomah to corral five balls for 51 yards in Week 13. Gesicki is playing well enough to warrant some concern from Gregg Williams and the Jets will need to keep their eyes on him in the passing game.
