Ladd McConkey Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Chargers QB Justin Herbert was excellent in Friday night's win over the Chiefs. He completed 25 of 34 passes (73.5%) for 318 yards (9.4 YPA), 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. Herbert's high-end arm talent was on display throughout the contest. And he reminded us that he's a plus athlete, running seven times for 32 yards. Herbert also had a 22-yard run called back by a holding penalty.

After dealing with an undisclosed injury, Chargers WR Ladd McConkey returned to practice on Friday, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Chargers LT Rashawn Slater was carted off the field with a leg injury on Thursday, and according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, suffered a ruptured patella tendon, ending his season.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, according to ESPN's Kris Rhim. McConkey hasn't practiced since July 28. We don't have any details on the injury, although OC Greg Roman said last weekend that it's "extremely minor."

The Athletic's Daniel Popper believes Chargers WR Quentin Johnston "is going to have to earn his roster spot in camp." Popper has Mike Williams and rookie Tre Harris projected to start on the outside, with Ladd McConkey in the slot.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. The toe isn’t a concern. The Chargers will have nothing to gain in Sunday’s game against the Raiders if the Steelers win on Saturday, though. We’ll wait on the result of that game and see what it might mean for McConkey’s playing time. WR Josh Palmer (foot) is out for Week 18.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Raiders this weekend, although it's worth noting that the Chargers will have nothing to gain in that one if the Steelers beat the Bengals on Saturday.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He's coming off a big outing vs. the Patriots on Saturday and seemed to come out of that one healthy. We're tentatively expecting McConkey to play against the Raiders this weekend but will keep you updated on his status.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He remained limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable, so there’s still some elevated risk here. But if you were waiting on McConkey, get him into fantasy lineups against Tampa Bay’s 24th-ranked WR defense.

The Chargers are "optimistic" that WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) will play against the Buccaneers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "The plan is for him to work out pregame," Rapoport adds. An active McConkey would be very tough to leave out of fantasy lineups against Tampa Bay's 24th-ranked WR defense. But we won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. It'd be wise to have a late-game alternative rostered in case McConkey ends up inactive.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. It’s the same spot he was in last week before missing the Chiefs game. We’re more optimistic about McConkey’s chances of playing in this one, but we’ll look for further updates on his status. We won’t get the Chargers’ inactives until a little before 3 pm ET on Sunday.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He was limited all three days last week, so this doesn't tell us much about his status for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers. We'll see if he can progress to a full practice one of these next two days.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is inactive for tonight’s game vs. the Chiefs. That removes the team’s leader in targets, catches, and receiving yards, hurting QB Justin Herbert's fantasy outlook. We’re expecting WR Josh Palmer to kick inside for more slot snaps with McConkey out. WRs Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis, and D.J. Chark are candidates to pick up more snaps. TE Will Dissly could also see more targets without McConkey roaming the middle of the field.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) is a "true game-time decision" for tonight's game against the Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is listed as questionable after getting in three limited practices this week. We won't get the Chargers' inactives until a little before 7 pm ET tonight, putting McConkey owners in a tough spot. If you're hoping to use him, you need to have a replacement rostered from either this game or Monday night's Bengals-Cowboys contest. Chargers WR Josh Palmer is likely your best option.
