Ladd McConkey WR LAC

6:54pm EST 12/8/24

Ladd McConkey INACTIVE

Ladd McConkey INACTIVE

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 D.J. Chark (hip) has been activated from IR, putting him in line to make his 2024 debut vs. the Browns on Sunday. Chark could provide some juice to Los Angeles' downfield passing game, but we'd be surprised if he was higher than fourth in line for snaps behind WRs Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, and Josh Palmer. Chark should not be in Week 9 fantasy lineups.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Saints. The rookie only got in a limited practice on Friday but did play through this hip issue last week. WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) is inactive, and WR D.J. Chark (groin) remains on IR.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game vs. the Saints. WRs Ladd McConkey (hip) and D.J. Chark (groin) are questionable. McConkey played through this hip issue last week, so we’re expecting him to play against the Saints. But the hip issue adds risk to a guy who was a low-upside fantasy starter to begin with.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Cardinals. WR Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) is also active. WRs Derius Davis (hamstring) and WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) are inactive. WR D.J. Chark (groin) was not activated and won’t play tonight. McConkey, Josh Palmer, and Fehoko figure to serve as Los Angeles’ top three WRs in this one.
