Gadsden is rostered in 92.8% of Main Event leagues, so this is a lineup question, not a waiver one. Last-man-standing at tight end is a real route share in a 1.5 PPR format, and the 169.8-point projection was built before he inherited the room. The 6.2 in Week 1 is the only data point you have, which is thin, and a 43.5 total with the Chargers laying 6.5 is fine rather than exciting. Start him if your alternative is a backup-grade tight end. Hold otherwise and let the snap share prove itself.
