Oronde Gadsden at Buffalo — Expanding Role in a High-Scoring Matchup

Gadsden's role is trending upward after offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel signaled plans to get him more involved. With David Njoku on injured reserve and Charlie Kolar nursing a forearm injury, Gadsden should see an uptick in routes after catching all four of his targets for 50 yards and a score over the first two weeks.

As touchdown underdogs in an anticipated high-scoring matchup against Buffalo, the Chargers could lean into the air. Our weekly projection tabs Gadsden for roughly 3 receptions and 35 yards (7.9 fantasy points). With his roster rate spiking over the past 48 hours, he makes for an intriguing streaming candidate.

Outlook Xavier Hutchinson

Xavier Hutchinson at Indianapolis — Expanding Target Share Brings Sneaky Appeal

Hutchinson steps into Week 3 with a growing opportunity in Houston's offense, especially with Tank Dell on injured reserve and primary receiver Nico Collins dealing with a hamstring injury that sidelined him in Thursday's practice. Listed right behind Collins on the depth chart, Hutchinson has already seen 15 targets through the first two weeks, turning them into six receptions for 69 yards.

Our weekly projection slates Hutchinson for 8.1 fantasy points on roughly eight targets against the Colts. While his catch rate remains modest, his rising volume has driven roster interest up to eight percent. If Collins sits, Hutchinson becomes an intriguing deep-league flex option, though fantasy managers in shallower formats should treat him as a high-priority bench stash for now.
