After starting the season as a healthy scratch, rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden II has been one of the Los Angeles Chargers' most pleasant surprises this season.
Across his first nine NFL games, Gadsden amassed 37 receptions for 507 yards and two touchdowns. He quickly emerged as a much-needed explosive play threat for an offense that was stuck in the mud.
Yet over his last five games, Gadsden has garnered just 12 targets, collecting seven receptions for 102 yards in that span. In the Chargers' victory over the Dallas Cowboys, he received just one target.
