Outlook Oronde Gadsden

Plummeting Draft Cost Unlocks Late-Round Value

Coming off a promising 2025 campaign where he tallied 49 receptions for 664 yards and three touchdowns across 15 games, Oronde Gadsden enters his second year competing in a crowded Los Angeles tight end room alongside Charlie Kolar and David Njoku.

Our projections forecast steady involvement with 60 receptions for 615 yards and four touchdowns, totaling 123.0 fantasy points in Justin Herbert's passing game. His seam-stretching ability provides genuine weekly upside whenever he commands regular route participation.

Fantasy managers have grown cautious, causing his ADP to tumble from around 123 in mid-July down past 212 in late August, with roster rates dropping to 20%. Given our expectations, this market slide turns him into an undervalued late-round flier in PPR drafts.
