Brown avoids Gadsden; TE17 ranking and committee role with Kolar/Njoku additions are dealbreakers.

Derek Brown explicitly avoids Gadsden in drafts despite five TE1 finishes in Weeks 6-18 last year, citing his TE17 overall fantasy points per game ranking. In that 13-game sample, Gadsden ranked 36th in target per route run rate, 15th in yards per route run, 22nd in first-read share, and 29th in first downs per route run among 50 qualifying tight ends. Brown flags concerning red flags including failed route share above 70% after Week 15, plus the Chargers' offseason additions of Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, locking Gadsden into a tight end committee situation Brown wants no part of.
