Should I start Mike Gesicki or Joe Fagnano in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 3:21 PM ET.

Start Joe Fagnano: 90 percent of the snaps and 0 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Mike Gesicki's 53 percent of the snaps and 9 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size307 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Mike Gesicki, and the board ranks him 38th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Joe Fagnano, and the board ranks him 39th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Mike Gesicki's market-based projection is 7.0 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 11 market sources. That is the 35th highest figure of the 209 players with a market-based projection.

No season market is posted for Joe Fagnano, so the only market valuing him on this page is the draft room.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Mike Gesicki has been on the field for 48 percent of CIN snaps, drawn 9 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 6 of the offence's 68 third down targets, had 3 of its 20 chances inside the five and seen 9 of its 47 two minute targets.

His 26 targets have averaged 10.5 air yards.

In Week 7 against BAL he caught 1 of 1 target for 6 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 8 against TEN he caught 4 of 6 targets for 76 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 9 against ATL he caught 2 of 2 targets for 11 yards and did not score.

Through Week 9, Joe Fagnano has been on the field for 90 percent of BAL snaps, dropped back 45 times and thrown 3.3 air yards an attempt.

He has been sacked or hit on 13 of 45 dropbacks and scrambled 2 times.

In Week 8 against BUF he completed 10 of 21 passes for 91 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 1 interception and ran 2 times for 4 yards.

In Week 9 against JAX he completed 10 of 18 passes for 60 yards, threw 0 touchdowns and 2 interceptions and ran 3 times for 13 yards.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Mike Gesicki played 13 games and scored 70.7 PPR points, 5.4 a game, finishing TE41.

He caught 28 of 42 targets for 307 yards and 2 touchdowns, with 7 red zone targets.

That came to 3.2 targets a game, a 67 percent catch rate and 11.0 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 38 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Joe Fagnano is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Mike Gesicki is a tight end and Joe Fagnano a quarterback, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Mike Gesicki is off in Week 6 and Joe Fagnano in Week 13, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

Joe Fagnano has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
