Those drops were pretty bad. Both hit him right in the hands. Maybe just a bad night for Mr. Gadsden?

Hit his hands is very forgiving for where those passes were. Not easy catches and the timing was off on both. 6'6" TE with passes thrown at his knees isn't optimal

He's a rook, he'll get better

Take the week, Oronde. It’s Jax.

I was out and watching. Did he not turn around for the one in the end zone? What happened?

Timing was off on that one. Ball wasn't close, he didn't look in time also

IIRC Herbert was getting hit around the legs while delivering. I don't think he was able to put the pass where/when intended.

I know every year people say it’s the worst ever for injuries, but this year I seem to be holding my breath more often. Let’s hope this is a minor injury.

 

[Krilons Resa]

I guess this is the best possible news, right?

Another source saying the same thing.

Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II was feared to have suffered a left knee injury during Sunday's Week 10 game against the Steelers. However, an MRI on Monday revealed that he only sustained a quad bruise and avoided a knee injury. Gadsden is "day to day."

In his absence, Tyler Conklin is expected to be more featured in the passing game if Gadsden is ruled out for the Week 11 game against the Jaguars.

 

[Pickle Rody]

Day-to-day is okay with me.

A-Men brother Bill.

 

[Ray Barboni]

How quickly would you guys move away from Gadsden next week if healthy, and Loveland was available? Was hoping Gadsden was my Warren fill in, but with and injury designation, may need to pivot to someone healthy.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

Chargers have a bye week after next. I would expect (hope) they rest him this week and give him 2 weeks at least to get fully healthy.

Chargers have a bye week after next. I would expect (hope) they rest him this week and give him 2 weeks at least to get fully healthy.

If he plays this week,It means it wasn't a big deal . Chargers know they have a bye and cld probably win without him this week.
If he plays,You know he has to be close to 100%.

 

[BearsFan4Life]

Dynasty .. was offered a 2026 Late 1st for Gadsden .. I passed. He looks like the next Antonio Gates.

 

[Grahamburn]

Kind of felt leading up to this injury like he was about to have something ailing him. Seems to get up a little gimpy after each catch. I don't think he's going to hold up well.

 

[Bad_Mo2]

Day-to-day is okay with me.

We are all day to day

 

[pinequick]

Day-to-day is okay with me.

We all are. Act accordingly.

 

[RaidersAreOne]

I am loaded at WR and need TE (Fannin is killing me).

It’s tough sledding finding a guy willing to give up a potential high-end TE, but Gadsden intrigues me.

What’s his outlook ROS? Is Metcalf a huge over payment?

Who would you move him for or would a 1st in 2026 make you move him in dynasty?

I am someone who probably overvalues TEs...I want no part of playing the match-up game at TE or chasing last week's points, so I always have at least two very good ones...the key to moving Gadsden would be my depth at TE...if I wanted to move him I don't think I would do it for a #1...I would probably try to combine him and a #1 or another good player and go after a bigger fish.

I am not a DKM fan...he looks good on paper but every time I have owned him, I sour on him really quickly and moved him...who are you other WRs?

I have McBride, Gadsden, and Fannin in dynasty ... if I get a 1st, I would try and trade that 1st and another for a RB or WR.. have built a loaded team so not settling to sell for a mid tier player.

With what you have that plan makes sense...you are definitely dealing from strength.

That's tough...Lamb-London-Egbuka are studs you aren't gonna move and the other three have their warts...we touched on DKM, Jennings is solid but probably won't get the other guy excited and McLaurin and Reed are banged up...how hurting is the other guy at WR?

What’s his outlook ROS? Is Metcalf a huge over payment?

I have both in a league where starting a TE isn't a requirement.

When healthy, I'm starting Gadsden over Metcalf.

In a TE requirement league, I'd think Gadsden has a ton more trade value than Metcalf.

My choice is between Gadsden or Parker Washington. Had Washington in until I saw the latest news. Gadsden is the play for me.

Im trying to trade for Gadsden now as he is the backup to McBride on the team that has him. He wants Jameson Williams for him, who is my WR 4 (JSN, Rice, Pickens) in a start 3wr. Hate giving up Jamo, but he wont see the starting lineup. gotta do it right? He would replace Loveland as my starter.

Similar situation to what I was in just yesterday! I ended up giving DK for Gadsden and am very happy I did so. No buyers remorse whatsoever.

I say do it and secure a potential weekly top 5 TE.
