• Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Sleeper WRs

  1D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  The Bengals secondary has been abused of late, which sets up well for McConkey and Quentin Johnston to both play well in Week 11. In the past three games against the Eagles, Raiders, and Ravens, five receivers have scored at least 13.4 PPR points, including four touchdowns. McConkey has scored at least 11.4 PPR points in two of his past three games, and Johnston has two touchdowns in his past two outings and is averaging 16.2 PPR points over that span. Both Chargers receivers are worth using as No. 3 receivers in all leagues.

• Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Longest reception of day

  6D ago • By RotoWire

  McConkey caught both of his targets for 52 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday. McConkey had the team's most explosive play of the afternoon, a nice 18-yard out route deep in enemy territory that the rookie then jettisoned for nearly another 20 yards. The reception was part of a 95-yard touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter that effectively iced the game. The 22-year-old has typically been the go-to wide receiver for the offense, but in a game during which Justin Herbert attempted just 18 passes there was never going to be a ton of volume to prop up a massive fantasy day. That should change in Week 11 when the porous Bengals defense comes to Los Angeles.

• Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Five catches in win

  13D ago • By RotoWire

  McConkey secured five of seven targets for 64 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday. McConkey set the pace in receptions and targets for the Chargers while checking in second in receiving yards to Quentin Johnston. The rookie has shown consistently improving chemistry with Justin Herbert, now having recorded at least five receptions in four of the last five contests. McConkey next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 10 home matchup.

• Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Sleeper WRs

  15D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  McConkey just had a breakout game in Week 8 against New Orleans with six catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns on six targets, and hopefully that's a sign of things to come. He has at least six targets in five games in a row heading into Week 9, and the Browns have allowed eight receivers to score at least 12.6 PPR points in their past four games. If there's one receiver to trust for the Chargers right now it's McConkey, and he's worth starting in all three-receiver leagues.

• Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Full practice Thursday

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  McConkey (hip) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. The same goes for Quentin Johnston (ankle), which sets the stage for the Chargers to have their top three wideouts (McConkey, Johnston and Joshua Palmer) available Sunday against the Browns. It also looks like DJ Chark (groin, IR) is trending toward returning to action this weekend, but in any case, McConkey should maintain steady enough volume going forward to yield weekly fantasy lineup utility.
