Ladd McConkey Week 6 Outlook - Chargers at Broncos

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 10th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

McConkey is the WR42 in fantasy points per game, but he has two WR2 weekly finishes this season (WR19, WR19). He has been the Bolts' clear WR1 with a 25.8% target share, a 30% air-yard share, 2.20 YPRR, and a 30.5% first-read share. Denver has the tenth-highest single-high rate (58.3%). Against single-high, McConkey has seen similar market share metrics, but his YPRR has jumped to 2.71. This efficiency will help McConkey combat a challenging matchup this week. Denver has allowed the lowest PPR points per target and the ninth-fewest receiving yards per game to slot receivers. McConkey will run about 67% of his routes against Ja'Quan McMillian (69.7% catch rate and 81.9 passer rating).
