Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Looking like game-time call Sunday

McConkey (knee/shoulder), who is questionable for Sunday's contest against Kansas City, will likely be a game-time decision, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McConkey took a designation into the weekend after logging a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday while tending to a sprained knee and an AC joint injury in his shoulder. Not much has changed in terms of clarity about his likelihood of suiting up, and Rapoport suggests that the rookie wideout will have "right up to 90 minutes before" the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff -- when the Chargers will need to announce their inactive list -- to get himself ready to play. Game-time calls are generally tough situations for fantasy managers, but McConkey's case is even more tricky given that the Chargers are playing in the Sunday night game. If McConkey doesn't suit up, wideouts Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer and tight end Will Dissly would be the primary candidates to draw the most attention from quarterback Justin Herbert.
