News

  • Next Gen Stats

    Ladd McConkey has recorded the 2nd-most receiving yards (706) and the most receiving yards over expected (+151) when aligned in the slot this season.

    Updated Mon, Dec 30 at 2:40pm
  • Lone fantasy star for LAC

    McConkey reeled in nine receptions on 14 targets for 197 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 32-12 wild-card round loss to Houston.

    Analysis: McConkey made quite the splash in his postseason debut, setting a new career high in receiving yards (197) while tying his previous high-water mark in receptions (nine). The 23-year-old rookie's box score result was the only one worth mentioning for a Chargers squad that netted just 261 yards of offense against the Texans. The disparity between McConkey and all of Los Angeles' other available receiving options in the blowout loss highlights the team's need to surround its No. 1 option with…read more

  • Chips in 95 yards

    McConkey recorded five receptions on eight targets for 95 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Raiders. He also converted a two-point conversion.

    Analysis: McConkey was overshadowed by Quentin Johnston, though he continued his breakout performance across the second half of his rookie season. McConkey accounted for half of his production and the Chargers' longest play from scrimmage with a 47-yard catch and run late in the first quarter, while also chipping in lengthy gains of 19 and 17 yards. McConkey ends the regular season having recorded at least 80 yards in six of his last seven games.

  • Ready for Week 18

    McConkey (toe) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Las Vegas.

    Analysis: McConkey opened Week 18 prep Wednesday with a DNP due to a toe injury, but he followed it up with a limited session Thursday and full practice Friday, thereby clearing him to suit up this weekend. He'll be taking on a Raiders defense that he took for 5-39-1 on seven targets in his pro debut all the way back in Week 1, but it should be noted that he's recorded at least six catches and 80 yards in five of his last six contests.

  • Limited in return to practice

    McConkey (toe) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.

    Analysis: McConkey sat out Wednesday's session, but his limited participation Thursday has him trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. The Chargers final Week 18 injury report will be released Friday and will reveal the game statuses of both McConkey and fellow wideout Joshua Palmer (foot), who hasn't practiced this week.

    McConkey (toe) was present for practice Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After being listed as a non-participant Wednesday, McConkey's presence for Thursday's session bodes well for his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Raiders.

  • Dealing with toe injury

    McConkey missed Wednesday's practice with a toe injury.

    Analysis: McConkey showed no sign of being slowed by an injury in the Chargers' 40-7 win over the Patriots this past Saturday, as he played into the fourth quarter of the blowout and finished with a 8-94-2 receiving line on 10 targets. In addition to the health of his toe, McConkey's Week 18 playing time will depend on how head coach Jim Harbaugh approaches Sunday's game against the Raiders. If the Bengals beat the Steelers on Saturday, the Chargers can then move up to the No. 5 seed in the AFC with a…read more

  • Scores twice in win

    McConkey caught eight passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets against New England in a 40-7 win Saturday.

    Analysis: McConkey is not only the WR1 for the Chargers, but the only wideout the Chargers have who can consistently produce. Although McConkey wasn't considered a classic WR1 as a prospect, the distance between him and the second-best Chargers wide receiver is substantial. McConkey has 77 receptions for 1,054 yards and seven touchdowns on 104 targets through 15 games, providing standout volume on elite efficiency (74.0 percent catch rate, 10.1 yards per target). The Raiders might present McConkey a…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    McConkey secured all six targets for 87 yards in the Chargers' 34-27 win over the Broncos on Thursday night.

    Analysis: McConkey set the pace in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets with fellow receivers Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston. The rookie wideout's final catch of the night came early in the fourth quarter but was a critical one, as his 17-yard grab took the ball down to the Broncos' 19-yard line and Justin Herbert threw a go-ahead touchdown pass to Derius Davis on the next play to give the Chargers a lead they wouldn't relinquish. McConkey has come on strong down the…read more

  • Leading receiver Sunday

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) finished with five receptions on seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: McConkey was iffy leading up to Sunday's kickoff after missing last week's contest due to injury. Hopefully fantasy managers were able to activate the shifty receiver for Week 15 after he led the Chargers in receiving yards while cashing in one of Justin Herbert's two passing touchdowns in the blowout loss. Don't be surprised if the rookie wideout is limited on a short practice week despite completing Sunday's tilt without issue after logging only limited practices leading up to the contest…read more

  • Back in action Sunday

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as active Sunday against the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Since sustaining a sprained knee Week 13 in Atlanta, McConkey has been listed as limited on every Chargers injury report the last two weeks and didn't play last Sunday at Kansas City. He again was a game-time decision this Sunday, but this time around the team was optimistic about his ability to suit up, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. With his availability now confirmed for Week 15, McConkey will rejoin Los Angeles' receiving corps looking to build upon his 58-815-4 line on 81 targets in what…read more

  • Optimism about Week 15 status

    McConkey (knee/shoulder), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Tampa Bay, will need to have a successful pregame workout in order to suit up, but the Chargers are optimistic he'll be able to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McConkey was viewed as a game-time call last Sunday against Kansas City and didn't end up playing, and his status again looks like it could come down to the wire in Week 15. Like last week, the rookie wideout logged a trio of limited practices and entered the weekend with a questionable designation. However, the Chargers seem hopeful about McConkey being able to return to action against the Buccaneers, and fantasy managers will have a bit more leeway to wait things out since the Chargers' Week…read more

  • Questionable for Sunday

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers after being limited in practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McConkey has logged six straight limited practice listings, and given that he was inactive for last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, his status for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET contest remains uncertain. Ideally, those considering him in Week 15 fantasy lineups will have added context regarding his status prior to the early wave of kickoffs, but if McConkey remains sidelined versus Tampa Bay, fellow wideouts Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be in line to see added snaps and targets.

  • Remains limited Thursday

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: McConkey, who was inactive for this past Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Chiefs, also was limited Wednesday, and unless he practices fully Friday, the wideout figures to approach this weekend's game against the Buccaneers with an injury designation. If McConkey isn't available versus Tampa Bay, fellow WRs Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be in line to see added pass-catching opportunities Week 15.

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: After he was limited in practice throughout Week 14 while tending to an AC joint sprain in his shoulder as well as a sprained knee, McConkey was inactive for this past Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Chiefs. While he didn't take a step forward in terms of activity to begin Week 15 prep, he'll still have two more chances to practice fully before the Chargers release their final injury report Friday. If the rookie wideout isn't cleared to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, more opportunities in the…read more

  • Inactive Sunday night

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: After being limited at practice Wednesday through Friday, McConkey was listed as questionable for the Chargers' Sunday evening tilt. With McConkey having been made inactive, Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor, Derius Davis and DJ Chark are in line to handle the team's Week 14 wideout duties. McConkey's next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 15 versus the Buccaneers.

  • 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.

    Analysis: 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…read more

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Kansas City.

    Analysis: McConkey is tending to not only a longstanding AC joint sprain in his shoulder but a sprained knee that he suffered this past Sunday in Atlanta. The pair of health concerns capped his practice reps this week, but his status remains up in the air ahead of Week 14 action. With an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday, fantasy managers may be in a bind if McConkey ends up inactive, and the current healthy wide receivers on the Chargers' active roster are Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor, Derius…read more

  • Another limited practice

    McConkey (knee/shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: McConkey also was limited Wednesday, so he'll probably need to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday night's game against the Chiefs without an injury designation. Through 12 games to date, McConkey -- who has scored four TDs in that span -- paces the Chargers in catches (58), targets (81) and receiving yards (815), a level of production that will keep the 2024 second-rounder firmly on the Week 14 fantasy lineup radar, provided he's available.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    McConkey was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to shoulder and knee injuries.

    Analysis: According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McConkey's shoulder injury is an AC joint sprain that has been an ongoing issue, while the knee injury is a sprain that the rookie wideout sustained late in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons. While McConkey's ability to practice in some fashion to begin Week 14 prep is an encouraging sign, he's far from a lock to be cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

  • Expected to practice Wednesday

    Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said he expects McConkey (knee) to practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: After a knee injury knocked out McConkey of Sunday's 17-13 win over Atlanta in the fourth quarter, Harbaugh said Monday that the rookie was "working through a couple things" and uncertain to practice this week. Any form of participation Wednesday would put McConkey on the right track to play Sunday against the Chiefs.

  • Uncertainty around knee injury

    Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that McConkey (knee) is "working through a couple things," and it remains to be seen if he will practice this week, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McConkey did all of the heavy lifting Sunday against the Falcons, securing nine of 12 targets for 117 yards, but he exited late with a knee injury and was unable to return. It's unclear if he's dealing with a day-to-day or week-to-week type of injury. McConkey should be considered questionable for next Sunday's AFC West bout with the Chiefs. If McConkey needs to miss time, the Chargers will roll with Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis at wide receiver.

  • Injures knee Sunday

    McConkey exited Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons with a knee injury.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure from the contest, McConkey caught nine of his 12 targets for 117 yards. Now that the wideout is dealing with a knee issue, his status will need to be monitored as next weekend's game against the Chiefs approaches. If McConkey ends up limited or out in Week 14, DJ Chark, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis would be candidates to log added WR snaps behind Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer.

  • Leading WR in MNF loss

    McConkey (shoulder) caught all six of his targets for 83 yards in Monday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: McConkey led all Chargers receivers outside of targets in Monday's narrow loss to Baltimore. The second-round rookie posted his third-highest receiving total of the season. McConkey has elevated himself to become Justin Herbert's top option in recent weeks, making him a strong fantasy play for next Sunday's matchup against the Falcons.

  • Active versus Ravens

    McConkey (shoulder) is listed as active for Monday night's game against the Ravens.

    Analysis: After logging a DNP on Thursday, McConkey was deemed limited Friday and Saturday before approaching Monday night's contest listed as questionable. With the 2024 second-rounder's availability versus Baltimore confirmed, McConkey is in line to remain a key target for QB Justin Herbert alongside fellow wideouts Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer. In his last outing, McConkey caught six passes (on nine targets) for a career-high 123 receiving yards in the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals.

    McConkey (shoulder) is expected to play Monday night against Baltimore, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: McConkey missed practice Thursday but was able to log back-to-back limited sessions Friday and Saturday before being labeled as questionable to play against the Ravens. With McConkey likely to play, Justin Herbert should have his full wide receiver weaponry, including Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer, in what is a plus matchup on paper for the Los Angeles passing offense.

  • Deemed questionable for Monday

    McConkey (shoulder) is questionable for Monday's Week 12 battle against Baltimore.

    Analysis: McConkey recorded a career-high 123 receiving yards against Cincinnati last Sunday, but he also picked up a shoulder injury. The rookie receiver logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week, and it's uncertain if he'll be able to suit up for Monday Night Football. If McConkey misses the contest, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer would be the Chargers' top two wideouts against the Ravens.

    McConkey (shoulder) was limited at practice Friday.

    Analysis: McConkey was deemed a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, but the wideout's ability to work in Friday's session, albeit with a cap on his reps, bodes well for his chances of being available Monday night against the Ravens. In any case, Saturday's final injury report will relay whether McConkey approaches Week 12 action with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Baltimore.

  • Estimated as non-practice participant

    McConkey (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: McConkey was on the field for 73 percent of the Chargers' snaps on offense during the team's Week 11 win over the Bengals en route to catching six of his nine targets for 123 yards. However, now that he's listed as having a shoulder issue, the wideout's status is worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Ravens approaches. Look for added context regarding McConkey's Week 12 playing prospects to arrive via his participation level in Friday's practice.

    Analysis: McConkey was briefly in the locker room due to an apparent shoulder injury in the first half, but the rookie returned relatively shortly thereafter. Justin Herbert found the Georgia product twice on the final drive of the game, as McConkey tallied receptions of 28 and 27 yards to help put the team in field-goal range before J.K.

    Analysis: McConkey got up favoring his shoulder after landing hard at the end of a 20-yard catch in the first quarter. That was the rookie's only target prior to the injury. The Chargers' other active wide receivers Sunday night are Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, Jalen Reagor and Derius Davis.

  • Longest reception of day

    McConkey caught both of his targets for 52 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: 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…read more

    McConkey secured five of seven targets for 64 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.

    Analysis: 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.

    McConkey (hip) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: 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.

    McConkey (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: McConkey continues to manage a hip issue, but with no reported setbacks coming out of this past Sunday's win over the Saints, the rookie might have had his reps capped Wednesday for maintenance reasons. He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and clear up any lingering concern about his health ahead of this weekend's game against the Browns.

    Analysis: McConkey was questionable heading into the game due to a hip injury, but the rookie didn't seem hampered at all physically in a breakout performance that included a 60-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter and a nine-yard touchdown in the fourth. His two touchdown catches in this one matched McConkey's total from his first six NFL games, and the second-round pick out of Georgia has seen at least six targets in all but one game in what has been a promising start to his career. McConkey will…read more

  • Listed as active Sunday

    McConkey (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: After missing practice Wednesday and Thursday, McConkey logged a limited session Friday before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. Now that his Week 8 availability has been confirmed, the 2024 second-rounder is in a position to remain a key target for QB Justin Herbert, barring any limitations or setbacks, after having caught 14 of his 22 targets for 156 yards and a TD over his last three games. With Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) both inactive versus New…read more

  • Expected to play Week 8

    McConkey (hip), who is questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans, is expected to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: McConkey remains questionable due to a hip issue, but he appears set to be cleared when the Chargers release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. The rookie wideout didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday but returned for a limited session Friday. McConkey has received at least seven targets in each of his past three games, and he's tallied between 43 and 67 receiving yards in each contest during that span.

  • Status in question for Week 8

    McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Prior to suiting up this past Monday in Arizona, McConkey was a limited practice participant during the entirety of Week 7 prep, which didn't come to pass this week, when he managed just one capped session Friday following DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday. He thus still has a chance to suit up Sunday, while DJ Chark (IR, groin) is listed as questionable and both Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) are listed as doubtful. The status of all four wide receivers will receive some…read more

  • Sits out another practice

    McConkey (hip) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McConkey played a season-high 88 percent of the Chargers' offensive snaps in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals, but the rookie wideout's lingering hip issue may be bothering him a bit more coming off the busy game. He's now sat out both of the Chargers' first two Week 8 practices, with fellow wideout Quentin Johnston (ankle) and tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) joining him as spectators for both sessions. More clarity on the statuses of all three pass catchers will become available when the…read more

  • Sits out Wednesday's practice

    McConkey (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: McConkey was a limited practice participant leading up to Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals, but was able to play through his hip issue while recording an 86 percent snap share and catching five of his seven targets in the contest for 46 yards. With no reported setbacks since then, his listed absence for Wednesday's practice could have been maintenance-related.

  • Grabs five receptions Monday

    McConkey (hip) caught five of seven targets for 46 yards in Monday's 17-15 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: McConkey was one of several Chargers' wideouts carrying injury designations heading into Monday's contest. The 2024 second-round pick managed to overcome a hip injury in order to suit up and fill a prominent role on offense. The rookie had a couple drops that hit him in the hands but otherwise looked sharp on his routes while finishing with solid PPR numbers. McConkey remains a reliable option in deeper formats, but he lacks the upside necessary to mark him a must-play option against the Saints…read more

  • Suiting up Monday

    McConkey (hip) is active for Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: The rookie is in position to be a key target for Justin Herbert after catching nine of 15 targets for 110 yards and a TD over his last two outings. With Quentin Johnston (ankle) inactive, Joshua Palmer also should see his share of opportunities alongside McConkey, with Simi Fehoko, Brenden Rice and Jalen Reagor also available to mix in.

  • Joins long list of injured wideouts

    McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: McConkey was a limited participant in practice all week, putting some question into his status for Monday's contest. The rookie at least seems to be closer to playing than Quentin Johnston (ankle, doubtful) and possibly DJ Chark (groin), who would need to be activated off injured reserve prior to Monday's contest after practicing in limited fashion all week. Derius Davis was also added to Saturday's injury report due to a hamstring injury, so McConkey's availability will be critical, as he's…read more

  • Limited practice Friday

    McConkey (hip) was limited at practice Friday.

    Analysis: McConkey was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate, a level of participation he maintained a day later. He thus has one more chance to upgrade to full participation and in turn potentially clearing himself ahead of Monday night's game against the Cardinals. With a 19-219-2 line on 32 targets through five games to date, McConkey has carved out a degree of fantasy utility in his first season as pro, thanks to his steady involvement in the Chargers' passing game.

  • Limited by hip injury

    McConkey (hip) was listed as limited on Thursday's practice estimate.

    Analysis: McConkey, who caught four of his eight targets for 43 yards in this past Sunday's 23-16 win over the Broncos, is one of three Chargers' WRs on the team's Week 7 injury report. In addition to McConkey, Quentin Johnston (ankle) was deemed a 'DNP' in Thursday's practice, while Simi Fehoko (shoulder/groin) was listed as limited. The trio's status thus is worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Cardinals approaches.

  • Leads team in targets

    McConkey caught four of his eight targets for 43 yards in the 23-16 victory over the Broncos on Sunday.

    Analysis: McConkey led the team in targets by a wide margin, but quarterback Justin Herbert spread the ball around plenty as nine different players caught a pass in this contest. The rookie second-round pick briefly left the game in the first half due to an injury, but he was able to return relatively quickly. The 22-year-old has at least six targets in all but one game this season, though Los Angeles' run-heavy approach has limited McConkey's weekly fantasy upside.

  • Best game as pro

    McConkey recorded five receptions on seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: McConkey was one of the few bright spots in Sunday's loss, as he combined both volume and big-play ability in a game for the first time as a pro. He was impressive on the Chargers' opening drive, racking up three catches for 27 yards -- highlighted by a seven-yard touchdown reception. McConkey added a 37-yard catch and run early in the third quarter to cap off the most productive day of his young career. While Los Angeles won't be a pass-heavy offense, McConkey is emerging as Justin Herbert's…read more

  • Tallies another three catches

    McConkey caught three of his six targets for 44 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: McConkey's longest reception, an 18-yarder in the fourth quarter, actually came from backup QB Taylor Heinicke, who took over in the final 15 minutes after Justin Herbert appeared to aggravate an ankle injury he had coming into the contest. The rookie now has at least two catches in all three games and is clearly viewed as one of the team's top targets, but with such a heavy emphasis on the running game, it's hard to imagine any Chargers pass catcher putting together an explosive fantasy day,…read more

  • Records two receptions in Week 2

    McConkey hauled in two of four passes for 26 yards during Sunday's 26-3 win in Carolina.

    Analysis: Afforded seven targets Week 1 against the Raiders, McConkey cashed in one of them for a 10-yard TD en route to a 5-39-1 performance in his pro debut. The rookie second-round pick wasn't able to do much with his quartet of looks from QB Justin Herbert this time around, though, finishing with a meager overall receiving line while fellow WR Quentin Johnston (5-51-2 on six targets) paced Chargers pass catchers this weekend. McConkey will have a tough task on his hands next Sunday on the road versus…read more

  • Scores TD in debut

    McConkey caught five of his seven targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: It's worth noting McConkey's touchdown came in the waning moments of the game as the weary Raiders defense sold out to stop the run, allowing the rookie to get wide open on a short crossing route. He easily juked two defenders en route to the end zone. Regardless of how it happened, it's hard to call Sunday's effort anything but a resounding debut considering he led the team in receiving yards and targets despite most coming near the line of scrimmage. The run-centric offensive attack likely…read more

  • Records first catch of preseason

    McConkey caught his only target for five yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: McConkey made his debut for the Chargers against the team's cross-town rivals after sitting out last week's exhibition. The 34th selection in this year's draft didn't get a ton of burn with the rest of the starters Saturday, but he registered the first preseason catch of his career from the arm of backup quarterback Easton Stick. McConkey's fantasy upside in 2024 is tied to the rookie's ability to earn, maintain and flourish as one of starting quarterback Justin Herbert's top targets.

    After not playing in the Chargers' preseason opener, McConkey (undisclosed) is expected to play in Saturday's exhibition against the Cowboys, Gavino Borquez of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: McConkey dressed but didn't play last week, but that's expected to change this weekend after the rookie returned to full practice this week. He's expected to handle a starting role for the Chargers in 2024, but Joshua Palmer, DJ Chark and Quentin Johnston are also in the mix for snaps.

  • Dresses, doesn't play Saturday

    McConkey (undisclosed) dressed for Saturday's 16-3 preseason loss to the Seahawks but did not play any snaps, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McConkey has been dealing with an undisclosed lower-body injury at training camp, and though he suited up for action Saturday, the rookie second-round pick was ultimately kept off the field. Though McConkey was in uniform to warm up Saturday, he changed to street clothes before kickoff. McConkey's next chance to take the field and handle exhibition reps will come Saturday at home against the Rams, but it remains to be seen whether the 34th overall pick will be fully cleared by then.

  • Back on practice field

    McConkey (lower body) returned to practice Thursday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: McConkey came up limping during Saturday's practice and left the field early before sitting out Sunday's session entirely. After a few days off, he was back on the field in uniform with a helmet on, but it's unclear if he's completely past the recent health concern. Once he is, McConkey will be operating with backup quarterback Easton Stick in the first-team offense for the foreseeable future while Justin Herbert tends to a plantar fascia injury.

  • Misses practice after Saturday's exit

    McConkey (undisclosed) left Saturday's practice early and didn't participate Sunday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: McConkey previously missed a practice Thursday but then returned Friday, only to come up limping during Saturday's session. He left with a trainer and missed the rest of the weekend, with coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledging that McConkey is "working through something" but declining to elaborate any further. The rookie second-round pick has worked with the first-team offense throughout most of training camp, reportedly taking a lot of his snaps from the slot.

  • Working with starters consistently

    McConkey, Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark have been the main receivers for the first-team offense during Chargers training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Popper notes that McConkey has "flashed" throughout spring and summer practices and looks particularly good while working from the slot. He isn't necessarily a slot-only prospect given his timed 4.39-second 40-yard dash speed, but it makes sense that McConkey would get more snaps inside if he's mostly on the field at the same time as the 6-foot-3 Chark and the 6-foot-1 Palmer. The ideal scenario for rookie-year fantasy value would feature McConkey taking most of his 11 personnel snaps from the…read more
