Huge numbers in loss to Indy Gadsden caught seven of nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts.
Impact The rookie tight end led the Chargers in receiving yards on the day, emerging as a go-to option for Justin Herbert as the team tried to rally from a 23-3 halftime deficit. Keenan Allen and Ladd McConkey both saw more targets and caught more passes than Gadsden, but the 2025 fifth-round pick did haul in his first NFL touchdown with a 15-yard reception in the fourth quarter. Gadsden has posted a 14-232-1 line on 17 targets over the last two games, giving him significant momentum heading into a Week 8 clash with the Vikings.

Career high in receptions Gadsden caught seven of his eight targets for 68 yards in the 29-27 win over the Dolphins.
Impact Gadsden finally had his breakout game after seeing his snap count surge each of the last three weeks. The rookie was repeatedly a checkdown target for Justin Herbert with the offensive line in shambles, but Gadsden responded well and looked good after the catch as well. It's also worth noting Gadsden did this despite Will Dissly (knee) active for the first time in three weeks, a sure sign the rookie has seemingly taken over as the team's starting tight end.

Snares only target Gadsden caught his only target for 14 yards in the 27-10 loss to the Commanders on Sunday.
Impact With Will Dissly (knee) out a third consecutive week, Gadsden saw a season-high 34 snaps dramatically outplaying Tyler Conklin (20) and Tucker Fisk (17). Los Angeles is dealing with significant injuries to its offensive line, which has hindered Gadsden's ability to actually see any volume as a pass catcher. Even with the eventual return of Dissly, Gadsden is firmly entrenched as a piece of the offense, but its unclear how much consistent fantasy utility that role will hold.

Omarion Hampton not Chargers' only impressive rookie weapon vs. Commanders The Chargers' Omarion Hampton is joined by tight end Oronde Gadsden as rising rookie offensive weapons.

More playing time but volume Gadsden caught two of his three targets for 16 yards in the 21-18 loss to the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Let's start first with the encouraging news. With Will Dissly (knee) out a second consecutive week, Gadsden saw a dramatic uptick in playing time (30 snaps) compared to Tucker Fisk (13 snaps) and Tyler Conklin (12 snaps). That the rookie almost immediately usurped the two veterans, especially in a game that saw the Chargers lose stud left tackle Joe Alt (ankle) early in the game thus forcing Gadsden to be involved as a blocker, is certainly a good sign. But that's also the crux of the matter too given Alt reportedly suffered a high-ankle sprain. That likely makes Los Angeles woefully thin on the offensive line after starting tackle Rashawn Slater ruptured his patella tendon during training camp. Gadsden's best as a short to intermediate pass catcher, but the opportunity to blossom in that role may be handicapped in the immediate future.

Impresses in debut Gadsden caught five of his seven targets for 46 yards in the 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact The rookie was a healthy inactive the first two weeks, but with Will Dissly (knee) sidelined, Gadsden made the most of his immediate usage. While Tucker Fisk (29) and Tyler Conklin (22) played more or the same amount of snaps as Gadsden (22), it was clear the 2025 third-round pick was the only tight end that was utilized as a legitimate pass-catching threat. While most of the targets were underneath checkdowns, Gadsden showed burst after the catch and routinely found space in Denver's vaunted zone defense. Los Angeles is suddenly overflowing with offensive targets, but if Greg Roman's scheme is forced to rely on the TE position, Gadsden could see more opportunities in the future.

Inactive again Week 2 Gadsden (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Monday night's AFC West battle against Las Vegas.
Impact Gadsden was also a healthy scratch Week 1 against the Chiefs, so he doesn't appear to be in the Chargers' offensive plans barring an injury ahead of him in the tight-end pecking order. The team will again roll with two tight ends -- Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin -- for Monday night's matchup.
