What the data says about Oronde Gadsden's fantasy upside in 2026 and beyond
I did my master’s in data science thesis on machine learning modeling for fantasy football - here’s what the data says about Oronde Gadsden's 2026 outlook and beyond, given his year 2 statistical comps:
14/20 hit 1+ Top 12 FPPG finish (70%)
8/20 hit 1+ Top 5 FPPG finish (40%)
5/20 hit 1+ Top 3 FPPG finish (25%)

Year 2 FPPG distribution specifically (PPR):
Floor → 1.44
Q1 (25th % outcome) → 5.52
Median → 9.26
Q3 (75th % outcome)→ 11.68
Ceiling → 16.04
Don't let Gadsden's slow finish to the season fool you - he still had an absolutely awesome rookie season when looking at the numbers. The 2025 tight end class is shaping up to be truly game-changing for the future of fantasy football.
