The move to the Chargers does nothing to unlock that ceiling. He profiles as a blocking-first body buried behind Oronde Gadsden, with modest projections of roughly 16 catches, 200 yards and a couple of touchdowns. ADP near pick 270 reflects the reality: he is a deep-league afterthought whose efficiency never gets enough snaps to translate into fantasy points. Behind him on the depth chart: Oronde Gadsden.

Charlie Kolar Rest-of-Season Outlook
depth TE on the sideline for now
Out, forearm.
Preseason Projection vs. Reality
He finished TE62 last season at 2.3 points per game.
Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's TE58 at 2.5 PPR points per game, against 2.3 over 16 games last season (TE62). The role is producing the same fantasy output two years running.
Last season he ranked 64th of 81 in route participation (24.4%), 59th of 82 in target share (3.7%) and 37th of 82 in efficiency (1.26 yards per route run). Route participation is the soft spot. Justin Herbert is his quarterback.
He's out, forearm. Until he's back, his value is a bench spot at most, and Oronde Gadsden takes his snaps.
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 17, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
The advanced profile screams efficiency without opportunity. Across 13 games in 2025, Kolar ran routes on just 24.4% of dropbacks, drew 15 targets (a 3.7% share), and turned 10 catches into 142 yards and two scores. He was excellent on contact, posting a 66.7% success rate and 0.344 EPA per play, and the prior two seasons were even sharper (0.744 and 0.854 EPA). But a 0.133 target-per-route rate and 0.077 WOPR confirm he is a part-time receiver, not a featured one.
The move to the Chargers does nothing to unlock that ceiling. He profiles as a blocking-first body buried behind Oronde Gadsden, with modest projections of roughly 16 catches, 200 yards and a couple of touchdowns. ADP near pick 270 reflects the reality: he is a deep-league afterthought whose efficiency never gets enough snaps to translate into fantasy points.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2025 rank among the 81 tight ends who played at least six games. Each bar is one tight end, best on the left; his is highlighted.

What is Charlie Kolar's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?
Charlie Kolar projects as a depth TE on the sideline for now for the rest of the 2026 season: a bench stash in TE-premium leagues and waiver-wire material in 12-team and 10-team leagues. His route participation (24.4% route participation, 64th of 81 TEs in 2025) holds him back. See his live rank in Redraft Command.
What is Charlie Kolar's rest-of-season fantasy ranking?
Charlie Kolar is the TE58 in PPR points per game through Week 4. That puts him in depth TE territory, waiver-wire material in 12-team leagues.
What is Charlie Kolar's projected role going forward?
Charlie Kolar is the listed starting TE, with Oronde Gadsden next on the depth chart. He is out, forearm for now, which puts that role on hold.
What is Charlie Kolar's fantasy football upside?
Charlie Kolar's upside: his ceiling this season is 5.1 PPR points (Week 2, TE26).
What could hurt Charlie Kolar's fantasy value?
Charlie Kolar's risks: he is out, forearm, his route participation (24.4% route participation, 64th of 81 TEs in 2025) limits his scoring and the Rams in Week 8 is a tough matchup. See his injury status and history.
How difficult is Charlie Kolar's remaining fantasy schedule?
Difficult: of his next seven games, 0 come against a top-10 matchup for TEs and 2 against one of the stingiest defenses, by PPR points allowed to the position.
