Outlook Oronde Gadsden
Sleeper Tight End Poised for a Breakout Year in Los Angeles
Oronde Gadsden enters his second season listed atop the depth chart, ahead of veteran David Njoku. Catching passes from Justin Herbert, Gadsden is poised to build on a productive 2025 campaign where he posted 664 receiving yards. Our models project Gadsden to earn 77 targets, translating to 50 receptions and four touchdowns.
Draft market trends show Gadsden's PPR ADP has experienced significant volatility, briefly spiking into the 70s before stabilizing around pick 112. This makes him a clear value target in the double-digit rounds for managers looking to secure late-round tight end depth with proven upside.
With over 55% roster ownership and climbing start rates, fantasy managers are beginning to notice his potential. If he solidifies his role as Herbert's primary intermediate weapon alongside Ladd McConkey, Gadsden could easily outperform his current draft price and offer reliable weekly utility.

Outlook Colby Parkinson
Touchdown Regression Threatens Late-Round Value in a Crowded Rams Tight End Room
Colby Parkinson technically enters the season atop the Rams' tight end depth chart, but he operates within a highly crowded room. Alongside experienced veterans Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen, the Rams' coaching staff continues to rotate young talents Terrance Ferguson and Max Klare, likely capping Parkinson's snap share.
Following a career-best 2025 season where he secured 49 receptions and a massive 10 touchdowns, heavy statistical regression is expected. Our projections reflect this decline, forecasting a modest stat line of 36 catches for 351 yards and four scores.
Fantasy managers have taken notice of his red-zone upside, pushing his 1.0 PPR draft cost up from an ADP of 220 in early May to 187 in June. While we view him as a decent late-round value, his lack of target volume makes him a touchdown-dependent depth piece.
