Gadsden's rookie flash fades with Kolar, Njoku, and Ingold additions to Chargers.
Oronde GadsdenTELAC
Gadsden had an exciting four-game stretch (Weeks 6–9) as a rookie with 24 catches for 377 yards and 2 TDs, ranking TE1 in fantasy scoring during that span. Over 15 games total, he finished with 49 catches for 664 yards and three touchdowns. However, his 2026 outlook is murky after the Chargers signed blocking TE Charlie Kolar, acquired former Browns TE David Njoku in May, and added fullback Alec Ingold (who worked with new OC Mike McDaniel in Miami). Despite intriguing upside, Gadsden should be no more than a later-round dart throw in 2026 drafts.

The Chargers signed blocking TE Charlie Kolar in free agency and picked up former Browns TE David Njoku in May.
