From the article
The Chargers went out and signed not one, but two tight ends: David Njoku and Charlie Kolar. On its Week 1 depth chart, Los Angeles listed Kolar or Njoku as the starter, with Gadsden serving as a backup.
STACKED’s take
Gadsden demoted to backup behind Njoku and Kolar; monitor snap share closely.
After a strong rookie season with 664 receiving yards (15th-most by a rookie tight end), averaging 13.6 yards per reception and grading as the most dynamic player at his position with a 131.3 explosive rating per PlayerProfiler, Gadsden's Year 2 outlook has dimmed. The Chargers signed two tight ends in the offseason: David Njoku and Charlie Kolar. Los Angeles listed Kolar or Njoku as the starter on its Week 1 depth chart, with Gadsden serving as a backup. While Kolar may be there primarily to block in heavier personnel sets, both he and Njoku will undoubtedly eat into Gadsden's playing time and targets. The source recommends waiting to see how the rotation plays out on game day and monitoring snap share; if Gadsden falls well behind the other two after a game or two, he can be safely dropped.
