Joe Flacco’s safety valve? Bengals' Mike Gesicki could finally shine in Week 6

For much of the 2025 season, Mike Gesicki has been an afterthought in the Cincinnati Bengals’ offense.

Through five games, the former Penn State star has managed just eight receptions on 16 targets for 61 yards, failing to top 20 yards in any contest. But that could change in Week 6 -- and in a hurry.

With Joe Flacco stepping in at quarterback and a Green Bay Packers defense vulnerable over the middle, Gesicki could be the unexpected spark that keeps Cincinnati’s offense on schedule.
