Ladd McConkey Peppered with Targets

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey went off for 9 catches and 117 yards in Sunday's win over Atlanta. The rookie saw a team-high 12 targets.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

McConkey drew a target on 48% of his routes – a massive mark for any WR. He accounted for 56.2% of Justin Herbert's completions and 79.5% of his passing yards.

Note that Herbert was surprisingly quiet in this one, throwing for 0 TDs and only 147 yards.

McConkey picked up a knee injury late in this one, so we’ll have to track his practice participation ahead of a Week 14 date with Kansas City. If active, he'll remain a WR2/3 candidate in PPR setups.
