I'll be avoiding Oronde Gadsden II in drafts this season... he was also only the TE17 in fantasy points per game... Gadsden looks like he's locked in a tight end committee for 2026, which is something I don't have any interest in dealing with for fantasy purposes.

Gadsden locked in committee with Kolar and Njoku; poor efficiency metrics warrant avoidance.

Derek Brown is avoiding Gadsden in drafts despite five TE1 finishes in Weeks 6-18. The underlying metrics are concerning: he ranked 36th in targets 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. After Week 15, he failed to exceed 70% route share in any game. The Chargers' additions of Charlie Kolar and David Njoku lock Gadsden into a tight end committee, making him an unattractive fantasy asset.
