Ladd McConkey Week 2 Outlook - Chargers at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 12th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

McConkey exits Week 1 as the WR19 in fantasy points per game after scoring with his only end zone target. I don't say that to diminish his Week 1 performance, but that's what helped him in the fantasy scoring department, as he only managed five grabs and 39 receiving yards outside of it. He did command a strong market share with a 26.9% target share, a 25.8% air-yard share, and a 25% first-read share. He produced 1.86 YPRR with his 6.6 aDOT. His underneath targets will hurt his weekly upside unless he breaks one for a big gain. McConkey is a solid PPR flex that will run about 61% of his routes against Troy Hill (2023: 63.6% catch rate and 100.3 passer rating).
