Oronde Gadsden's regression already leaves Chargers with a clear offseason need
The Los Angeles Chargers, in all likelihood, will need to re-address the tight end position this offseason.
- Need to get a note to Mike McDaniel that the Chiefs have allowed an opponent-adjusted +27.1 yards per game to TEs (third-most). Also, let him know that Oronde Gadsden II is still on the team and everyone else is hurt.
- What does the projection model say about Week 5? Interesting @Xfinity best ceilings: 22.7 Jacoby Brissett (8th) -- 23.3 Aaron Jones (10th) 22.3 Braelon Allen (12th) 21.2 Emanuel Wilson (14th) -- 23.7 Michael Wilson (9th) 20.0 Mike Evans (18th) 18.7 Romeo Doubs (26th) 17.8 Tre' Harris (30th) 17.2 Tre Tucker (32nd) -- 15.9 Oronde Gadsden II (10th)
- I am not a professional gambler. Just a fantasy nerd who does a lot of research for projections. But if you want some fun WR over bets for today: DJ Moore O 52.5 rec yards Makai Lemon O 35 rec yards Deebo Samuel O 35 rec yards Oronde Gadsden II O 26.5 rec yards -- Malik Nabers O 55 rec yards (pure gut)
