The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Oronde Gadsden.
Is Gadsden Playing in Week 10?
Gadsden is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Chargers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Gadsden in Week 10?
We had the Quentin Johnston run of excellence in this offense early in the season and he certainly seems to have handed off the baton to Oronde Gadsden.
The rookie has caught all 10 of his targets over the past two games and has cleared 65 receiving yards in each of his past four. Trey McBride was the only TE with such a streak (over 65 receiving yards in four straight) last season, and as far as rookie pass catchers (WR/TE) to rip off such a run since 2023, Gadsden’s name is now sitting next to Brian Thomas Jr., Malik Nabers, and Puka Nacua.
I have no idea why you’d be skeptical in the short term. The Bolts aren’t taking him off the field (30+ routes and a red zone touch in all four of those games), and he’s rewarded them by catching 15-of-17 targets over this run that have been thrown to or behind the sticks.
He’s essentially a version of the run game, a 6’5″, 236-pound super-athletic version of the run game.
Gadsden has a catch gaining north of 30 yards in three straight contests, and his ability to marry volume with upside makes him an easy click weekly when setting your lineup. I’ve got him as TE6 for Week 10, a ranking that could place him as a viable flex option if you added him to a roster that already had a reliable tight end.
