Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is good to go for Week 11 after practicing fully on Friday, despite dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the week. McConkey proved himself as the Chargers' WR1 last week with four catches for a team-high 107 yards and a touchdown, including a notable 58-yard chunk play. He now faces a Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has been struggling lately, giving up the ninth-most passing yards, the fourth-most receiving touchdowns, and 31 receptions of 20 or more yards. Although McConkey will face a difficult slot matchup against Jaguars DB Jarrian Jones (allowing 3.6 yards/target), his volume and recent performance make him a valuable option. With WR Quentin Johnston (shin) listed as questionable heading into Sunday, RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR14 this week. He is expected to be a high-end WR2 with potential WR1 upside if Johnston misses.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was a full participant at Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into the team's Week 11 matchup with the Jaguars. McConkey is coming off one of his best games of the season after converting six targets into four catches for 107 yards and a touchdown in a Week 10 win over the Steelers. While he got off to a slow start, and the Chargers' offense has seemed to lean on a different pass catcher every few weeks, McConkey has played his way back into must-start status over the past month-plus. He has finished as the WR5 or better in half-PPR formats in three of the last five weeks, while boasting five touchdown grabs in his last six games. The Jaguars have been a middle-of-the-pack defense to target for fantasy wide receivers, and McConkey is RotoBaller's WR13 for the week.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was listed as a limited participant again on Thursday due to an ankle injury. It's a new injury for McConkey, but as long as he upgrades to a full-go on Friday, he should be cleared to play this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 11. The 24-year-old second-year pass-catcher has come on strong after a slow start to the season that saw him go without a touchdown in the first four games. Since Week 5, though, McConkey has 35 catches on 53 targets for 457 yards and four touchdowns, including two 100-yard performances. He had four catches for a season-high 107 yards and a touchdown on six targets in the Sunday night win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 10. As long as McConkey is active against the Jags this weekend, he should be a must-start in fantasy lineups.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. It appears McConkey picked up a minor ankle injury during last weekend's contest. McConkey didn't appear to be impacted by it as he recorded four receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chargers are likely just being cautious with their young stud wideout early in the week. Barring any setbacks, McConkey should be out there for the Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught four of his six targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in Sunday night's 25-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. McConkey has been on a tear over the last six games following a slow start to the season. The second-year wideout averaged just 8.4 PPR points per game over the first four games, but has bounced back since, posting 17.4 per game since Week 5. McConkey's 107 receiving yards were more than double the next closest Chargers' pass catcher, with Quentin Johnston finishing with 42 yards. The 24-year-old remains the clear top target for Justin Herbert and should continue to be a high-end fantasy producer for the rest of the season. McConkey will rank on the WR1/WR2 border for Week 11 against the Jaguars.

Chargers' WR Ladd McConkey had 4 receptions for 107 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win against the Steelers.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey remains a crucial part of the passing attack, recording a 23.5% season-long target share and catching four of six targets for 56 yards in a close win against the Tennessee Titans last week. This week, he faces the Pittsburgh Steelers' league-worst passing defense, which ranks 30th in yards allowed per game, although they recently defeated the red-hot Indianapolis Colts. While he will likely draw the attention of Steelers' cornerback Jalen Ramsey, McConkey's exceptional ability to create separation should keep his target volume high. He has become Justin Herbert's most trusted receiver over the last few games and is expected to receive plenty of targets against a recently surging defense. Although his WR1 ceiling is often touchdown-dependent due to the many mouths to feed in Los Angeles, his high floor makes him a dependable high-end WR2 or low-end WR1 option that should be started in all leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey continued his hot streak, catching six of 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings last Thursday, leading the team in all major receiving categories. He ranks fifth in the league in targets and carries a solid 23.3% target share. He faces a middle-of-the-pack Tennessee Titans pass defense, but McConkey's outlook is boosted by an especially favorable slot matchup against defensive back Roger McCreary, who is allowing an 85.7% catch rate to opponents. While the overall passing volume might be limited due to a run-heavy game script, McConkey's high volume and favorable individual matchup keep his floor high. RotoBaller ranks him at WR13 this week. You can start him with confidence as a high-end WR2, with WR1 upside if he finds the endzone again.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (calf) continued to be limited in practice on Thursday due to a calf injury. McConkey has put in two limited practices this week as the team prepares for a Week 9 road matchup on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. The second-year pass-catcher could be removed from the weekly injury report if he practices in full on Friday, and as of now, he should be considered to be on the right side of questionable to play this weekend. The 23-year-old has picked things up of late after a slow start in 2025, and he has found the end zone in three of his last four games, suddenly leapfrogging Quentin Johnston as quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to passing target. The Chargers may not need to throw much this Sunday in Tennessee, but if he's active, McConkey needs to be in all starting fantasy football lineups, given how strong he's been recently.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (calf) is on the team's Week 9 injury report and was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a calf injury. McConkey played a season-low 58% of the offensive snaps in last Thursday night's blowout victory over the Minnesota Vikings, but he still managed a team-high 10 targets and caught six passes for 88 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old should have a good chance to play in Week 9 in a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans on the road, but his status bears watching heading into Sunday's game. The former second-rounder has bounced back after a slow start to his second season in the NFL, catching 27 of his 41 targets for 294 yards and three touchdowns in his last four games. If McConkey is active against the Titans on Sunday, he needs to be in all starting fantasy football lineups.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught six of his 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 8 win over the Minnesota Vikings. McConkey had a relatively underwhelming start to the season, but he seems to have turned a corner with 27 catches and three touchdowns over his last four games. Since Week 5, he is averaging 18.8 fantasy points per game (PPR), which ranks as the eighth-most among all NFL wide receivers during that span. McConkey's rapport with Justin Herbert continues to solidify, and he should be treated as a low-end fantasy WR1 going forward. He'll face off against the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 9.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey handled a heavy workload in the team's loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, leading the Bolts in targets for the second consecutive week with 15. McConkey leads the league in total routes run (278) and posted an impressive 28.2% targets per route run last week. He now faces a tough Minnesota Vikings secondary that allows just 26.9 PPR points per game to wide receivers. However, McConkey's reliable and quick routes are an effective counter to the Vikings' blitz-heavy defense, providing Justin Herbert with an immediate outlet under pressure. His three red-zone targets last week also highlight his growing importance near the goal line. RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR17. His target share and versatile role make him a solid mid-range WR2 start in all league formats.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey saw a heavy workload in Week 7, catching nine of 15 targets for 67 yards in the team's 38-24 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He led the team in targets for the second straight week, continuing to earn Herbert's trust on short and intermediate routes, although he didn't score after back-to-back games with a touchdown. In Week 8, the Bolts face a tough Minnesota Vikings secondary allowing just 26.9 PPR points per game to wide receivers. With a short week and tired legs, McConkey's ceiling might be limited, but his growing role and target share keep him in the FLEX/WR3 consideration for most leagues.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is riding a wave of momentum after a remarkable seven-catch, 100-yard, one-touchdown game against the Miami Dolphins. It was his second straight week finding the end zone. McConkey currently commands a 20% red zone target share and a 21.8% first read target share, while running the third-most routes in the league (225). Facing a banged-up Indianapolis Colts secondary, McConkey gets a favorable slot matchup, as Indianapolis allows the ninth-most points per game to slot receivers. Even with the likely return of Quentin Johnston (hamstring), McConkey's established role and increased red-zone usage keep him highly valuable. RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR17, making him a mid-range WR2 who should be started in all formats in this potential offensive slugfest.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey had a standout performance in the team's last-second 29-27 win against the Miami Dolphins, catching seven passes for 100 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. He led the team in nearly every receiving category, stepping up with Quentin Johnston (hamstring) out, and made a crucial 42-yard reception with seconds left to set up Cameron Dicker's game-winning field goal. This is McConkey's second straight week with a touchdown after barely seeing any red zone targets in the first four games of the season. McConkey is expected to remain active in Week 7, as the 5-1 Indianapolis Colts visit the Chargers at SoFi Stadium. The Colts' pass defense has been average, and with Johnston's status still uncertain, McConkey should be in line for another productive game. His rapport with Herbert is starting to resemble that of the end of the 2024 season. McConkey is a dependable WR3 with WR2 upside moving forward.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey caught seven of his nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's Week 6 win over the Miami Dolphins. He ultimately led the team in targets and receiving yards, and he also tied for first in receptions. The 23-year-old had an underwhelming start to the season, but he seems to have turned the corner over the last two weeks. During that two-game span, he has totaled 12 catches, 139 yards, and two touchdowns. This week, he also benefited from the absence of Quentin Johnston (hamstring), but we don't expect McConkey to endure much of a decline when Johnston does return. His production is probably more connected to the effectiveness of the backfield, which isn't a guarantee anymore with Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Najee Harris (Achilles) sidelined. With a solidified role and momentum on his side, McConkey should rank as a high-end WR2 ahead of Week 7 against the Colts.

Chargers' WR Ladd McConkey had 7 receptions for 100 yards with one touchdown in Sunday's win in Miami.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is set for a strong performance against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday after scoring his first touchdown last week. While the Dolphins' secondary is the defense's strongest unit, they are middle of the pack overall and especially vulnerable to slot receivers, giving up the fifth-most PPR points per target and the second-highest passer rating to that position (McConkey runs 61.6% of routes from the slot). With fellow wide receiver Quentin Johnston (hamstring) limited in practice and questionable for Sunday, McConkey could see a noticeable target increase from Justin Herbert. His recent red-zone usage is a positive sign. RotoBaller keeps him at WR21 this week. He should be considered a strong WR3 with clear WR2 upside if Johnston remains limited or is ruled out.
