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

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and Quentin Johnston (ankle) were both tagged with DNPs on Wednesday to open the week. Johnston was listed as doubtful heading into Week 7 but was eventually ruled out and has yet to practice in any capacity since picking up an ankle injury in the team's 23-16 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 6. McConkey's hip ailment occurred in Week 6, but he played 57 snaps in the contest (86%). It's possible this was just a maintenance day for the early second-round pick, so look for his practice participation later this week to hint at his Sunday status. With wideout Derius Davis (hamstring) also not practicing Wednesday, Joshua Palmer, Simi Fehoko, and Brenden Rice are the only receivers without a designation on the active roster at the position.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey made five catches in a Week 7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey ended up with seven targets and five catches, both good for second-most on the team behind tight end Will Dissly. He gained 46 yards, which was third highest. McConkey had a slow first half before turning it on a bit in the second half and ending up with a decent enough fantasy performance. With the Chargers throwing the ball more often, McConkey could have his fantasy arrow pointing up when the Bolts face the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and Simi Fehoko (groin, shoulder) are all active for the Monday night showdown against the Arizona Cardinals after being listed as questionable on the final injury report. The rookie McConkey should be quarterback Justin Herbert's top target in a good matchup with Quentin Johnston (ankle) ruled out. The 22-year-old has caught nine of his 15 targets in the last two games for 110 yards and a touchdown, making him a worthwhile WR3/flex option for fantasy managers. McConkey and Joshua Palmer should be LA's top two receivers for this contest, with Fehoko, Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor battling for WR3 snaps with Johnston out. In his first five NFL games, McConkey has recorded 19 receptions on 32 targets for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The rookie wideout has been limited in practice this week due to a hip issue. He did exit early during last week's game, but McConkey returned to action and finished out the contest. The Chargers are already in terms of weapons at wide receiver, so losing McConkey would put them in a bad spot. Joshua Palmer figures to be the focal point of the passing attack if McConkey does end up sidelined on Monday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark (groin) were both limited practice participants for the second time this week on Friday. With wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) both listed as DNP, Los Angeles will hope to have at least one of Chark Jr. and McConkey ready for their Monday Night Football matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. The former returned to practice this week for the first time since being designated for injured reserve before the season opener and looks to taste his first action of 2024. The latter briefly exited the team's Week 6 win over the Denver Broncos with a head injury, but the hip ailment is new and must be monitored. Wide receiver Simi Fehoko returned to full practice and would be in line for an uptick in snaps if Chark Jr., McConkey, and Johnston cannot play. Also, Brenden Rice and Derius Davis would work behind Joshua Palmer in the matchup.
