| Pat Fitzmaurice FantasyPros | Oronde Gadsden had an exciting four-game run last year as a rookie with 24 catches for 377 yards and 2 TDs from Week 6 to Week 9. He was TE1 in fantasy scoring over that stretch. Despite some dazzling flashes, Gadsden's 2026 fantasy outlook is murky. The Chargers signed blocking TE Charlie Kolar in free agency and picked up former Browns TE David Njoku in May. The Chargers have also added fullback Alec Ingold, who was with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel in Miami. With 49 catches for 664 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie, Gadsden offers intriguing fantasy upside. But with two other quality tight ends on the roster, Gadsden should be no more than a later-round dart throw in 2026 drafts. | |
| Andrew Erickson FantasyPros | Josh Downs is good. PFF's 20th-highest graded WR in 2025. And for the second straight year...the Colts slot WR was hyper-targeted at a 24% clip. That led all Colts WRs and TEs in 2025. And he creates separation. Per Fantasy Points Data...Downs ranked 20th in average separation score. Downs has been limited because of a lack of high-end route participation, but a late-season route bump could suggest more of Downs in a full-time role in 2026....after the team traded Michael Pittman Jr. to the Steelers. | |
| Derek Brown FantasyPros | I'll be avoiding Oronde Gadsden in drafts this season. Yes, in Weeks 6-18 last year, he had his moments with five TE1 finishes in weekly scoring, but he was also only the TE17 in fantasy points per game. During that sample of games, among 50 qualifying tight ends, he was 36th in target per route run rate, 15th in yards per route run, 22nd in first-read share, and 29th in first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). After Week 15, he failed to surpass a 70% route share in any game. All of these are concerning red flags before we even get to the Bolts' additions of Charlie Kolar and David Njoku this offseason. 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. | |
