Slipping Draft Cost Creates High-Upside Late-Round Tight End Value
Entering his second NFL season, Gadsden looks to build on a promising 2025 campaign where he recorded 49 receptions for 664 yards and three touchdowns across 15 games. However, the Chargers feature a crowded tight end rotation alongside Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, which may initially limit his weekly snap share.
Even in a rotational capacity, our projections expect solid involvement in Justin Herbert's passing attack, projecting 60 catches for 625 yards and four touchdowns (123.0 PPR points). Gadsden's downfield efficiency makes him an appealing streaming candidate whenever game scripts skew pass-heavy.
Draft market sentiment has cooled significantly over the summer. His ADP tumbled from pick 123 in July to around 154 in mid-August, with rostership dipping to 37%. At this discounted 1.0 PPR draft cost, our models view Gadsden as a viable late-round value flier who could easily outperform his falling market price if his target share expands.
