Will Mike Gesicki thrive with Joe Burrow?

1) Joe Burrow

And now, for the man at the center of it all: Joe Burrow.

However, now that Burrow is back, he also faces a revamped offensive core. No more Joe Mixon to hand off to. No more Tyler Boyd to feed at the slot. Can he adjust? Only time will tell.
