00:00All right, now at tight end you could probably do better than Mike Gesecki on any given week,

00:04but the reality is, is that with so many tight ends off this week, maybe you have to start him.

00:08I'm probably a hold on him. 34 receptions, 383 yards, two touchdowns. You know, they have been

00:14playing another tight end. Hudson is his name. He's been getting some love. He scored a touchdown

00:18a couple of weeks ago. Gesecki feels like a hold until your tight end, you know, doesn't have a

00:24bye week anymore, George. Then you could bid him farewell. Now they're off this week, so you're not

00:30starting Gesecki anyway. I'm moving on. All right, I don't see myself holding on to him through a

00:34bye week. Unless if my team is stacked, right? Maybe I'm a team. Listen, I play in nine leagues.

00:38I'm sure there's a league where bye weeks didn't bother me this week. I don't think so offhand,

00:42but it could happen, and maybe you could hold on to him, but he hasn't been the same guy since

00:47T. Higgins returned, which is not a shock. We knew that early when T. Higgins was out that

00:51Burrow uses Gesecki more when T. Higgins is out. Makes sense. Target's got to go somewhere,

00:56and once T. Higgins returns, not so much here, but you also said the other problem.

01:00Hudson is taking away targets as well, all right? He's playing well, and Hudson seems to be the guy

01:05who gets more receptions. Gesecki's more the intermediary tight end, more for yardage there,

01:09so this is all bothersome for me. As if you watched in-game live last Sunday night with

01:12Dave Martinez and I, you know how unhappy I was with Gesecki and the offense. I don't think he

01:18caught a pass, and he gave me a score of 10,000 points. He didn't score a pass,

01:22so it caused me some duckets there. I wasn't happy with that. I am dropping him.

01:27Finally, Will Disley, our next and final tight end of the Los Angeles Chargers,

01:31had a nice game last week. Seems to be getting a lot of playing time for the Chargers. I would

01:36ask you, George, moving forward, is this somebody that you can afford to cut? He's got 352 receiving

01:42yards on the season. I know it's not as many as Gesecki. He does have more catches, and it seems

01:46like he's now a bigger part of their offense. I wouldn't want to cut him this week. They're

01:52playing Baltimore. We know that points are coming in this game. They better be coming,

01:56because if they're not coming for the Chargers, they're going to get blown out of the game here.

02:00He's a guy that's up and down. He had four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown last week,

02:03but before that, Craig, five for 30, two for nine, 541, and he had the big game,

02:08eight for 81. I think it was against Arizona here. Then 26, 24, 90. He's had two big games.

02:14Two big games, 81 and 80. Other than that, everything else is under 40 yards here. The

02:19only touchdown came last week. I am willing to hold on to him for this week, because once again,

02:23you're playing Baltimore. Assuming you don't have anybody else on your roster, I'm probably not

02:27starting him over anybody else that's decent. I don't see myself doing that. So if you have

02:31someone else who's decent, you move on here. Or maybe if you have a tight end that's on by in

02:35week 14, you hold him. I can understand that as well here. But I said two big games this year.

02:39Other than that, it's been very ball.
