LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Denver Broncos

It was a great start for Ladd McConkey last week as he had 3 of his 5 catches on the first drive, got his fourth on the second drive, and only had one more the rest of the game. McConkey obviously came into the game with an injury designation and was a game-time decision, but it was frustrating to see the great start and then very little after (much like the rest of the Chargers).

Denver hasn't been the easiest matchup against wide receivers, but have gotten easier as the season has gone on and they now sit 23rd aFPA against wide receivers this season. McConkey is a mid-end WR2 this week and should be in your lineups for semi-finals weekend.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After missing last week, Ladd McConkey was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable. The Buccaneers are 31st aFPA against wide receivers, so this is an incredible spot for McConkey. Stay tuned for inactives on Sunday afternoon. If McConkey is active, he's in your lineup.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Atlanta Falcons

Once again, Ladd McConkey led the Chargers in receiving yards, but Josh Palmer led the team in targets. It was quite a shock how the Chargers went away from McConkey and Will Dissly until it was too late. Still, McConkey feels like the alpha in this offense and getting some extra looks in the red zone would go a long way to helping his fantasy value.

The Falcons are 32nd aFPA against wide receivers this season and are a dream matchup for McConkey and Justin Herbert. McConkey checks in as a mid-end WR2 this week and is a must-start this week.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Cincinnati Bengals

With the Chargers reverting back to a run-heavier approach, it was tough sledding for Ladd McConkey and the Chargers passing attack in fantasy. McConkey led the Chargers with 52 receiving yards but only had 2 catches on 2 targets. A lot of McConkey's value came from being the top option in the passing attack, even when it was low-volume. Unfortunately, last week he was not the top option. Obviously, that can happen week-to-week, but we need him as the top target earner in Los Angeles.

The Bengals are 27th aFPA against wide receivers so, in theory, this is a great spot for McConkey. Volume is the concern, but this is a fantastic spot for the Chargers passing game and Justin Herbert has been fantastic. I would roll the dice with McConkey as a WR3/flex option this week.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Tennessee Titans

While the Chargers are spreading things around in the passing game, Ladd McConkey continues to lead the team in targets every week. McConkey isn't seeing high aDOT targets, but with another 7 targets last week he continues to have the safest floor of any of the Chargers receivers on a given week.

The Titans are 3rd aFPA against receivers so far this year, so it is a bit of a tougher matchup, but McConkey has been so reliable it's hard to get away from him, especially in PPR formats. He's a WR2 this week and should remain in your lineup.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cleveland Browns

It was another strong performance for Ladd McConkey, as he beat up a battered Saints secondary for 6 catches for 111 yards and 2 touchdowns on 6 targets. It was a super efficient day for McConkey but it shows the ceiling McConkey has with Justin Herbert when the passing game is allowed to get going.

Another beatable matchup is on tap as the Browns are 27th aFPA against wide receivers. McConkey is rolling right now and as long Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman let Justin Herbert throw the ball this much McConkey has a high-end WR2 ceiling. He's a back-end WR2 this week, but should be in your lineups.

LAC WR Ladd McConkey - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs New Orleans Saints

It was a bit of a disappointing week for the Chargers offense as they couldn't get in the end zone, but Justin Herbert did set a season-high in passing yards and Ladd McConkey still saw 7 targets. While McConkey wasn't able to find the end zone, in PPR leagues he had a usable score last week.

The Saints are 14th aFPA against wide receivers so it's a middling matchup at best, but like every week, McConkey should lead the receivers in targets and in PPR leagues can scam his way there every week even if he doesn't find the end zone. He's a middle of the pack WR3 this week and should find his way in your lineup.
