Mike Gesicki getting involved more with the Dolphins offense is a beautiful thing to see. He arguably looks like a top five tight end in the league. He is currently in the last year of his contract and he is showing why the Dolphins need to pay him and re-sign him before he becomes a free agent.

Gesicki is coming off of his best game of the season where he got a connection going with Tua in his first game back. He had 8 catches for 115 yards and unfortunately did not have any touchdowns on the day.

It was a great sign to see Tua and Gesicki have that connection in their first game back together. The strong connection is hopeful to continue this week as the Dolphins are still dealing with quite a few injuries.

DeVante Parker and Preston Williams are both listed as questionable for this week and they will both be game time decisions on Sunday. Losing them will hurt depth wise but it would allow Gesicki to have another breakout game like he did last week.

Gesicki should be getting used like this on a weekly basis and it looks like he may be becoming one of Tua’s favorite targets to throw to. He is someone the Falcons should be watching for on Sunday.
