Oronde Gadsden II
TE - Los Angeles Chargers
Availability
Since Week 6, Gadsden has been the TE9 in fantasy points per game with a 17.2% target share, 65.4 receiving yards per game, 2.30 yards per route run, and a 21.3% first-read share. In those seven games, he has had ten red zone targets and six deep targets. Since Week 7, Philly has utilized two high at the fourth-highest rate (56.3%). Since Week 6, against two high, Gadsden has had an 18.6% target share with 2.37 yards per route run and a 20.6% first-read share. He'll face an uphill climb this week against a defense that has shut down tight ends. Philly has allowed the second-fewest receiving yards per game and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends.
Oronde Gadsden was held to just one catch for 27 yards (got tackled at the 2-yard line). He has been under 42 yards in three straight games with no more than 3 receptions in any game.
The Eagles' matchup on deck is brutal for TEs. 1-star rating. Second-fewest yards allowed to TEs this season (32.4 per game). Two guys have gotten past 43 yards. Entering Week 13, the Eagles are allowing the third-fewest points to TEs. With Justin Herbert banged up...might be another down game for the rookie tight end.
