Ladd McConkey Injured Over The Weekend

Ladd McConkey Injured Over The Weekend

4 months ago

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (undisclosed) was forced to leave Saturday's training camp practice early due to an undisclosed injury and remained out on Sunday. The Chargers haven't disclosed the specific nature of McConkey's injury after he initially was injured last Thursday in practice before returning on Friday. The 22-year-old second-rounder figures to start out of the slot in three-wide sets right away for the Bolts alongside DJ Chark Jr. and Joshua Palmer now that both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are out of town. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a huge target share in his rookie season, but McConkey is worth a late-round flier as a WR4/flex in redraft leagues as an efficient route-runner in an offense with plenty of opportunity at the position. If McConkey's injury turns out to be serious, former first-rounder Quentin Johnston would likely benefit the most.
