Chargers Review with Herbert (3 snaps - small sample): Ladd McConkey played all 3 positions - signaling they could just going to move him around all the time (they should - he can do it all) - he came out after this with Herbert Omarion Hampton got all 3 RB reps and sat after this, then Keaton Mitchell came in and stayed in until the early 2nd, then Vidal came in (clear 3rd - no overlap w/ Mitchell) Vidal did only play the 2nd Q, so it still signals they pulled him earlier than traditional 3r...PositiveNewsAug 21, 2026
For these reasons and now the coaching staff basically showing us over 2 weeks of preseason, Gadsden is not going to get adequate playing time to matter for redraft this season Best Ball I am still not taking many chances but you could convince me on a rd 18 flierPositiveUsageAug 14, 2026
Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, & Tre Harris did not play last night Charlie Kolar & David Njoku did not play Omarion Hampton, Keaton Mitchell, & Alec Ingold did not play Oronde Gadsden has to compete with Harris, Kolar, Njoku, & Ingold for snaps/routes - a bad betPositiveNewsAug 14, 2026
Kids are in bed - checking box scores and I see Kimani Vidal and Oronde Gadsden have stats while Keaton Mitchell, Charlie Kolar, and David Njoku do not Very interested to look at the player participation tomorrow đź‘€PositiveDepth ChartAug 10, 2026
Chargers unofficial depth chart: Interesting to see the Keaton Mitchel OR Kimani Vidal Ladd and QJ starters with Tre Harris as a backup 3-way starters at TE between Charlie Kolar, Oronde Gadsden, and David Njoku Still think Vidal is underrated as a handcuff Via @​chargersPositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
The story I am building in my head (which could very well be wrong) based on everything I’ve read and heard: Mike McDaniel brings in 2 TEs this offseason Immediately has both running with the 1s above Gadsden Gadsden talks about needing to get bigger and better at run blocking after all of the above I don’t think we’re going to see enough routes for redraft - probably still some spikes for best ballPositiveDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
Most of the article is about Oronde Gadsden learning how to block and acknowledging that’s how you get on the field Then he’s talking about accepting a special teams role with Kolar and Njoku ahead on the depth chart Take: there’s obviously scenarios where this goes his way, but it feels increasingly unlikely. I really liked the profile and even a month ago I was in - now I’m leaning out bc I don’t think he sees the field enough to matter in fantasy. Via @​alexinsdorf99PositiveNewsAug 6, 2026
Oronde Gadsden is on the punt unit and kick return unit All 3 TEs are going to play In 2TE sets could be Kolar and Njoku sometimes and sometimes Kolar and Gadsden Take: It sounds like a big split at TE Via @​danielrpopperPositiveNewsAug 3, 2026
I don't think its a good thing that I am not hearing much of Oronde Gadsden catching passes from Justin Herbert, but am hearing Charlie Kolar is Keeping an eye out to hear more - not into Kolar for redraft, but the answer for Chargers TE might be no onePositiveValueAug 1, 2026
Worth noting on the Chargers TE situation Kolar and Njoku working with the 1s for now Gadsden with the 2s and 3s but expectation is more rotation when pads come on Again worried we see a legit 3 headed monster with little value for each
