Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Team-high yardage total in win
Gadsden brought in four of five targets for 61 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.Gadsden led the Chargers in receiving yards and tied for second in targets, also providing the team's second-longest catch of the afternoon (27 yards). Quentin Johnston's absence due to a groin injury may have benefitted the rookie tight end, who finished with his highest reception and receiving yardage totals since Week 9. Gadsden will take a 43-602-2 line on 60 targets into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Held quiet in Week 14
Gadsden finished with one reception for seven yards on four targets in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles.With a 62 percent snap share on the night, Gadsden once again handily paced Los Angeles Chargers tight ends in playing time, but it didn't translate into much production.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Only one catch in win
Gadsden caught one of his two targets for 27 yards in the 31-14 win over the Raiders on Sunday.Sunday included the rookie's fewest receptions in a game dating back to Week 5 and his second-lowest yardage total after breaking out against the Dolphins back in Week 6. Negative game scripts have largely impacted Gadsden, as the Los Angeles Chargers have either blown out opponents or been blown out themselves in most of their contests throughout the month of November. A matchup against the Eagles in Week 14 could be a remedy for more volume, but the status of quarterback Justin Herbert will be incredibly relevant, as the Pro Bowler will have surgery to repair a fracture in his left hand Monday, leaving his status uncertain for the critical bout.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Just 41 yards in Week 11 loss
Gadsden caught two of five targets for 41 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 35-6 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.Gadsden had just one catch for 13 yards until late in the fourth quarter when he caught a 28-yard pass from backup quarterback Trey Lance when the game was well out of hand. It was a challenge most of the afternoon for the Los Angeles offense, as Justin Herbert threw for just 81 yards prior to being removed from the blowout loss. After big production in October, Gadsden has cooled off in back-to-back weeks, with just five catches for 54 yards on 11 targets over the past two games. The Chargers have a Week 12 bye before hosting the Raiders at home in Week 13.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Practices fully Wednesday
Gadsden (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.Previous reports indicated that Gadsden was dealing with a quad bruise, but he's listed with a knee issue on the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 11 injury report. In any case, the tight end's full participation Wednesday paves the way for him to play Sunday against the Jaguars, and in the process maintain his key role in Los Angeles' passing offense, a context that has kept Gadsden on the fantasy radar since his production picked up in Week 6.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Labeled day-to-day
Gadsen is considered day-to-day after an MRI on Monday revealed the nature of his injury to be a bruised quadriceps, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Gadsden was forced out of Los Angeles' win over the Steelers on Sunday night early due to what was initially called a left knee injury, so the results of his MRI are ultimately encouraging. The rookie tight end's status will need to be monitored as the Los Angeles Chargers prepare for a road contest against the Jaguars in Week 11, but it at least appears he's avoided any sort of severe injury that could require a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly will operate as Los Angeles' top pass-catching tight ends if Gadsden misses any time.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Set for MRI on knee
Gadsden is scheduled to undergo an MRI on his left knee after exiting Sunday's 25-10 win over the Steelers in the third quarter, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.The rookie tight end finished with three catches for 13 yards on six targets before leaving the game when he made hard contact with the knee of a Steelers defender. The MRI will shed more light on the severity of Gadsden's injury, but his status for a Week 11 game in Jacksonville is murky. If he's sidelined next weekend, the Los Angeles Chargers would go back to Tyler Conklin and Will Dissly as their main pass-catching options at tight end.

Chargers' Oronde Gadsden: Leading receiver in win
Gadsden recorded five receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Titans.Justin Herbert distributed targets extremely evenly among all of his top pass catchers, including Gadsden. Even so, Gadsden narrowly led the team in receiving yards, thanks primarily to a long 34-yard catch that came just short of the end zone. This was the fourth consecutive game that Gadsden has had at least five receptions and 65 receiving yards, and he's quickly become a reliable starting tight end in all formats.
