Ladd McConkey Week 9 Outlook - Chargers at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 31st 2024, 1:05pm EDT

McConkey has pulled his season-long status up to WR25 in fantasy points per game after last week's blow-up game. He has four weeks this season as a top-36 fantasy wide receiver. He has drawn four deep targets and six red zone looks (28th among wideouts). McConkey has a 22.2% target share with 2.14 YPRR and a 27% first-read share. Cleveland still has the highest single high rate in the NFL (69.5%). Against single high, McConkey has had a 23.7% target share with 2.85 YPRR and a whopping 29.7% first-read share. McConkey should get peppered again this week, but the matchup isn't as juicy as last week. Cleveland has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points per target and ranks 18th in receiving yards per game allowed to slot receivers.
