Gesicki looks to be a good weapon for Burrow.
A way I would look to solve this backup WR dilemma is...run 12 personnel a very high percentage, at least while Higgins is still ouchie.
On early downs, Chase and Iosivas at WR with Sample and All/Gesicki.
On clear passing downs, Chase and Iosivas at WR with Gesicki and All.
Hudson (or eventually McLachlan) backs up Gesicki if ever an injury.
Once Higgins is back, I'd look to incorporate more 11 personnel again, but not to the level it was when Boyd was a Bengal.
Chase and Higgins at WR, bring in Iosivas occasionally when going 11 personnel.
That would also help keep Irwin reserved to emergency usage, which some want.
I like your plan. Run 12 personnel while Tee is hurt, more of 11 when he gets back but don't abandon 12 personnel.
Gesicki and All will just get better with Burrow. You could really see Gesicki and Burrow are not quite on the same page.
Look out when they are, Erick All seems reliable already, something I didn't expect to see.
