Gesicki is a better 3rd option in the passing game, I agree.
Personally, I don't want to see the Bengals go back to heavy 11 personnel where a 3rd receiver is 3rd option.
I want heavy 12 personnel where the TE is the 3rd option, possibly even 2nd if Higgins leaves.
Obviously you would need a TE who could be good enough to be the 2nd option.
I think that's all semantics, though, right? What makes sense to me is to look at the receiving pecking order in terms of targets more than initials by a guy's name.
Gesicki had 83 targets.
Yoshi 61
Chase Brown 65
If the RB is getting more targets than the "WR3" I question if that's really a WR3.... Especially with Higgins down a big chunk of the season.
^ 2023 Tyler Boyd certainly was the 3 with 98 targets.
