Oronde Gadsden - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Another quiet game in win Gadsden secured his lone target for seven yards in the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact After a big four-game stretch from Weeks 6 to 9, Gadsden has crashed back to Earth in recent weeks. Over his last six games, Gadsden has compiled just 12 catches for 166 scoreless yards on 23 targets. He's devolved into an untrustworthy option at fantasy's weakest position ahead of next Saturday's date with a stingy Houston defense.

Oronde Gadsden II shatters Chargers franchise records in win over the Chiefs Oronde Gadsden's breakout rookie season for the Chargers continues as he now has his name next to new franchise records.

Team-high yardage total in win Gadsden brought in four of five targets for 61 yards in the Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact Gadsden led the Chargers in receiving yards and tied for second in targets, also providing the team's second-longest catch of the afternoon (27 yards). Quentin Johnston's absence due to a groin injury may have benefitted the rookie tight end, who finished with his highest reception and receiving yardage totals since Week 9. Gadsden will take a 43-602-2 line on 60 targets into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

Held quiet in Week 14 Gadsden finished with one reception for seven yards on four targets in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.

Impact With a 62 percent snap share on the night, Gadsden once again handily paced Chargers tight ends in playing time, but it didn't translate to much production in the box score. Since recording at least five catches and 68 receiving yards in four straight games from Weeks 6 through 9, Gadsden has been limited to a 7-88-0 receiving line on 17 targets over the Chargers' ensuing four contests.

QB Justin Herbert breaks bone in left hand, but he's optimistic about playing for Chargers next week

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will have surgery Monday to repair a broken bone in his non-throwing hand

DECEMBER 1 • Associated Press

Only one catch in win Gadsden caught one of his two targets for 27 yards in the 31-14 win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Impact Sunday was the rookie's fewest receptions in a game dating back to Week 5, and his second lowest yardage total after breaking out against the Dolphins back in Week 6. Negative game scripts have largely impacted Gadsden as the Chargers have either blown out opponents or been blown out themselves in most of their contests throughout the month of November. A matchup against the Eagles in Week 14 could be a remedy for more volume, but the status of quarterback Justin Herbert will be incredibly relevant, as the Pro Bowler will have surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand Monday with his status uncertain for the critical bout.

Just 41 yards in Week 11 loss Gadsden caught two of five targets for 41 yards in the Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Gadsden had just one catch for 13 yards until late in the fourth quarter when he caught a 28-yard pass from backup quarterback Trey Lance when the game was well out of hand. It was a challenge most of the afternoon for the Los Angeles offense, as Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards prior to being removed from the blowout loss. After big production in October, Gadsden has cooled off in back-to-back weeks, with just five catches for 54 yards on 11 targets over the past two games. The Chargers have a Week 12 bye before hosting the Raiders at home in Week 13.

Practices fully Wednesday Gadsden (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.

Impact Previous reports indicated that Gadsden was dealing with a quad bruise, but he's listed with a knee issue on the Chargers' Week 11 injury report. In any case, the tight end's full participation Wednesday paves the way for him to play Sunday against the Jaguars, and in the process maintain his key role in Los Angeles' passing offense, a context that has kept Gadsden on the fantasy radar since his production picked up in Week 6.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

In line to practice Wednesday Gadsden (quadriceps) is slated to practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Gadsden was forced out of Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers in the third quarter after logging 38 snaps in the contest. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the tight end is viewed as day-to-day with a quad bruise, but Gadsden's looming participation in practice Wednesday -- in any capacity -- is a positive sign ahead of this weekend's game against the Jaguars.

Labeled day-to-day Gadsen is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Monday revealed the nature of his injury to be a bruised quadriceps, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Gadsden was forced out of Los Angeles' win over the Steelers on Sunday night early due to what was initially called a left knee injury, so the results of his MRI are ultimately encouraging. The rookie tight end's status will need to be monitored as the Chargers prepare for a road contest against the Jaguars in Week 11, but it at least appears he's avoided any sort of severe injury that could require a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly will operate as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight ends if Gadsden misses any time.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Set for MRI on knee Gadsden is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee after exiting Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers in the third quarter, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The rookie tight end finished with three catches for 13 yards on six targets before leaving the game when his knee made hard contact with the knee of a Steelers defender. The MRI will shed more light on the severity of Gadsden's injury, but for the time being, his status for the Chargers' Week 11 game in Jacksonville is murky. If Gadsden is sidelined next weekend, the Chargers would likely lean on a committee of Tucker Fisk, Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly at tight end.

Questionable to return to SNF Gadsden (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact Gadsden went to the locker room in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return shortly thereafter. The red-hot rookie recorded at least 68 receiving yards in each of his previous four games but had just three catches for 13 yards on six targets prior to Sunday night's injury.

Leading receiver in win Gadsden recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.

Impact Justin Herbert distributed targets extremely evenly among all of his top pass catchers, including Gadsden. Even so, Gadsden narrowly led the team in receiving yards, thanks primarily to a long 34-yard catch that came just short of the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game that Gadsden has had at least five receptions and 65 receiving yards, and he's quickly become a reliable starting tight end in all formats.
