2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gadsden converted from wide receiver to tight end at Syracuse, demonstrating intriguing pass catching capabilities at both positions. After posting 975 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a wideout in 2022, he was similarly effective with 934 receiving yards and seven TDs as a TE in 2024. He was drafted in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Chargers, so Gadsden is likely to slot in behind Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly on the depth chart, at least initially. The 6-foot-5, 241-pound Gadsden will need to prove he can block at the NFL level to earn consistent playing time, but there’s some long-term upside here given his skill set and situation. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.57 million contract with the Chargers in May of 2025.
Healthy scratch vs. Chiefs
Gadsden (coach's decision) is listed as inactive for Friday's game versus Kansas City, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Chargers apparently feel good rolling into Week 1 with just Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin available at tight end, so Gadsden will have to wait at least another week to make his regular-season debut. His absence might mean a few more snaps from the slot for Keenan Allen.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stands out in Saturday's practice
Gadsden showed good rapport with Justin Herbert during Saturday's training camp practice, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie fifth-round pick out of Syracuse recorded three catches during Saturday evening's practice session, with all those throws coming off the arm of Herbert. Notably, two of the athletic tight end's receptions were chunk plays, as Smith notes Gadsden and Herbert connected for a gain of over 20 yards up the seam and then hit paydirt again with a long completion down the left sideline in 11-on-11 drills.
