"Gadsden was selected by the Chargers in the fifth round of April's draft. A converted receiver (the position his father played in the pros), Gadsden had two highly productive campaigns, having posted a 61-969-6 receiving line in 2022 and a 73-934-7 showing in 2024. He handled 20% of the Orange's targets during the 36 games he was active and his career 10.76 aDOT was the second highest in this TE class. He's more of a receiver than a blocker, which means perhaps there's some eventual fantasy appeal here, but he'll open his career buried behind Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin."


"The rookie tight end led the Chargers in receiving yards on the day, emerging as a go-to option for Justin Herbert as the team tried to rally from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey both saw more targets and caught more passes than Gadsden, but the 2025 fifth-round pick did haul in his first NFL touchdown with a 15-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Gadsden has posted a 14-232-1 line on 17 targets over the last two games, giving him significant momentum heading into a Week 8 clash with the Vikings."
