Fantasy Impact

McConkey steps into a wide open opportunity to have a chance to earn the No. 1 wide receiver role for Justin Herbert as a rookie. D.J. Chark is reportedly penciled in as a starter, while the role of Quentin Johnston is unclear heading into training camp. McConkey will have the opportunity to earn himself a big immediate role despite the Chargers likely being a run-heavy offense under Jim Harbaugh.

DJ Chark Jr. reportedly could be penciled in a starter for the Chargers heading into training camp.

Fantasy Impact

Chark signed a one-year deal with the Chargers this offseason. With the departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, he steps into an opportunity to potentially be the No. 1 wide receiver for the Chargers on the outside. Ladd McConkey is expected to start in the slot for the Chargers. Chark is looking to bounce back after a down season with the Panthers last year.

Fantasy Impact

After a dissapointing rookie campaign, some may have expected Johnston to still see another chance this season to prove himself following the departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. He’ll likely still have to earn his opportunity throughout camp and preseason.
