Ladd McConkey's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) is "working through a couple things" and that the team will evaluate him as the week progresses. "We'll see," Harbaugh said when asked about the possibility of McConkey practicing in preparation for the Week 14 contest on the road on Sunday night versus the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old impressive second-rounder put up nine catches for 117 yards on 12 targets in Sunday's win over the Atlanta Falcons, but he was injured late in the game and didn't return. McConkey's Week 14 status is now up in the air, and with the game being on Sunday night, it could make decisions very difficult for those that have McConkey rostered. The Georgia product has been a must-start in fantasy, but if he's out against KC, the Chargers will need Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark to step up.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee) caught nine of 11 targets for 117 yards before exiting during the fourth quarter of Sunday's Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. McConkey was seen limping repeatedly throughout the game, and the injury evidently worsened enough that the rookie needed to depart the contest in the final quarter. The Chargers listed McConkey as questionable to return, but he ultimately stayed on the sideline for the rest of the game. He has been one of the NFL's most productive rookie receivers this season, catching 58 passes for 815 yards and four touchdowns. He'll rank as a WR2 in Week 14 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but only if he's healthy enough to play. Fantasy managers should monitor his status on the Chargers' injury reports next week.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey should have another good game in a Week 13 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. McConkey has been a top-20 fantasy wide receiver in four of his last eight games and is the overall WR31 this season. He's been putting up solid catch and yard numbers consistently, but hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 8 and has only seen two red zone targets in the last five Chargers games. This week, he'll go up against a Falcons secondary that has been below average against wide receivers all season. He should be a solid WR2 option with upside if he gets more involved in the red zone again.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey led the team in catches and yards in a Week 12 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. McConkey was targeted six times, catching all six for 83 yards. McConkey and the Chargers offense came in with high expectations against a struggling Ravens secondary, but they were unable to get much going and didn't benefit from any real big plays. Still, the rookie wide out remained heavily involved and continues to look like quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target. They'll take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is officially active on Monday night to face the visiting Baltimore Ravens, as expected. McConkey will end up playing despite being listed as questionable on the final Week 12 injury report. It's excellent news for the Chargers offense, fantasy managers that rolled the dice on McCaffrey despite his questionable tag, and quarterback Justin Herbert's fantasy value in a plus-plus matchup. The Ravens defense has allowed the most half-PPR fantasy points to receivers this year. Meanwhile, McConkey has been Herbert's favorite target, as he leads the team with 43 receptions, 615 receiving yards and four touchdowns in his first 10 NFL games. The second-round selection out of Georgia could feast on Monday night. Both of his 100-yard games in 2024 have come in the last four games, including in the Week 11 win over the Bengals.
