Los Angeles Chargers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play this Sunday night to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. In addition to a sprained AC joint in his shoulder, McConkey suffered a sprained knee in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons and is up in the air for this weekend. The fact that the 23-year-old took part in all three practices this week gives up hope that he'll be available, but it's a sticky situation for fantasy managers to be in with the Bolts' game not coming until Sunday night. If McConkey is limited or out, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would see more targets, with Jalen Reagor, DJ Chark and Derius Davis battling for WR3 duties. McConkey has been LA's clear No. 1 wideout in his rookie season and has been a must-start WR2/3 in fantasy when healthy.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) remained a limited participant in the team's second practice of the week on Thursday. The Chargers said earlier this week that McConkey's status could be up in the air for the Week 14 Sunday night showdown against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs after he was injured late in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. However, the fact that the 23-year-old second-rounder has practiced two days in a row this week is encouraging, although he could still draw a questionable tag by Friday. If McConkey is on the right side of questionable, fantasy managers should probably stick with him in fantasy lineups, as he's been a must-start wideout in his first NFL season. McConkey is coming off his second 100-yard game this year and is the Chargers' clear WR1.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice on Wednesday. McConkey was visibly banged up during Sunday's game in Atlanta and was ultimately forced to leave the game. His practice participation in any capacity is encouraging for fantasy managers. McConkey has come alive of late. He has caught at least six passes in three straight games. He has exceeded 100 receiving yards in two of those three games. He is looking every bit like the second-round draft pick that he is. On the season, McConkey has recorded 815 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He is well on his way to a 1,000-yard season if he can stay healthy. Given how well he has played over the last month, McConkey now checks in as the WR16 in PPR scoring formats. The Chargers draw the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14. While the Chiefs' defense was highly formidable to start the season, they have bled points to opposing teams in recent weeks. This is a huge game for both squads with massive playoff and divisional implications. If McConkey plays, he should deliver WR2 numbers. We will gain more clarity on his status over the next couple of days of practice.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he expects rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) to practice on Wednesday. This is certainly excellent news for fantasy managers after a report surfaced earlier on Wednesday that McConkey's status for Week 14 on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs was in question after he injured his knee late in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Before injuring his knee in Week 13, the 23-year-old second-round wideout was LA's offense, going for nine catches on 12 targets for 117 yards on the day. The fact that the Georgia product is set to practice on Wednesday is a great sign, but we'll keep a close eye on his status the rest of the week. If McConkey is active on Sunday evening, he'll be a must-start for fantasy managers as quarterback Justin Herbert's go-to target through the air.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) is in doubt for Sunday's AFC West Divisional showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, McConkey is dealing with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder and a knee sprain. The 23-year-old exited Sunday's contest late against the Atlanta Falcons with a knee injury and did not return. He is having a terrific rookie season so far, with 58 catches on 81 targets for 815 yards and four touchdowns over 12 games. It's unclear whether McConkey will suit up against the Chiefs and is considered day-to-day. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor McConkey's practice status throughout the week. If McConkey is unable to suit up, Quentin Johnston, DJ Chark, and Joshua Palmer should see an increase in target shares.
