Ladd McConkey

McConkey was victimized by two uncharacteristic drops as the Chargers were forced to the air 39 times against a Cardinals defense that emphasized stopping the run. While the seven targets were nice, the short-area role of McConkey in a typically low pass volume offense leaves a lot to be desired as far as fantasy expectations moving forward are concerned. Up next for McConkey and the Chargers is a reeling Saints team in Week 8.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is active for tonight s game vs. the Cardinals. WR Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) is also active. WRs Derius Davis (hamstring) and WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) are inactive. WR D.J. Chark (groin) was not activated and won t play tonight. McConkey, Josh Palmer, and Fehoko figure to serve as Los Angeles top three WRs in this one.

Chargers WR Quentin Johnston (ankle) did not practice all week and is doubtful for Monday night's game vs. the Cardinals. WR Ladd McConkey (hip) is listed as questionable after a limited week of practice. WRs D.J. Chark (groin), Derius Davis (hamstring), and Simi Fehoko (shoulder, groin) are also officially questionable. Josh Palmer and Brendan Rice are the only healthy WRs on the active roster. We'll see if the Chargers make a promotion from the practice squad ahead of kickoff. McConkey has been the only fantasy-viable WR here for most of the season. If you were hoping to start him this week, make sure you have a backup plan from the Chargers, Cardinals, Bucs, or Ravens rostered in case the rookie ends up inactive on Monday night.

The Chargers have a lot of wide receivers on their final injury report before Monday night's game against the Cardinals.

McConkey is on track to play in Week 7 against the Cardinals, though a Full Participant designation on Saturday would be reassuring. With multiple Chargers' pass catchers ailing, McConkey, already an efficient target earner, could see increased opportunities.
