Bengals Activate Mike Gesicki from IR, Set for Week 12 Return

Cincinnati Bengals TE Mike Gesicki (pectoral) has been activated from Injured Reserve after a full week of practice and is slated to play against the Patriots in Week 12, his first game since Week 6. His return is timely with WR Ja'Marr Chase out, potentially leading to an increased role against New England. However, fantasy managers should be cautious due to his long layoff. His return also impacts Noah Fant's fantasy value.
