Josh Palmer Leads WR Usage with Ladd McConkey Out

Josh Palmer Leads WR Usage with Ladd McConkey Out

The Chargers went without rookie WR -- and team reception leader -- Ladd McConkey for the first time this season in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. WR Josh Palmer led the group in playing time, routes (34), targets (9), receptions (6), and receiving yards (78).

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.

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.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Cardinals. WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. WRs D.J. Chark (groin), Derius Davis (hamstring), and Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) are also officially questionable. Josh Palmer and Brendan Rice are the only healthy WRs on the active roster. We'll see if the Chargers make a promotion from the practice squad ahead of kickoff. McConkey has been the only fantasy-viable WR here for most of the season. If you were hoping to start him this week, make sure you have a backup plan from the Chargers, Cardinals, Bucs, or Ravens rostered in case the rookie ends up inactive on Monday night.
