Ladd McConkey, Joshua Palmer Emerging In Three-Receiver Sets

3 months ago

The trio of Los Angeles Chargers wide reeceivers Ladd McConkey, Joshua Palmer, and DJ Chark have emerged to become the main receivers working in 11 personnel for the team through six training camp practices. McConkey has "flashed" in the slot for the Chargers, stringing together multiple quality outings so far in camp. Palmer looks to be the top receiver for the Chargers after ascending to the top of the depth chart following the departures of Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. The fantasy buzz hasn't been the greatest at times for the Chargers, as they are expected to run the ball more with the addition of head coach Jim Harbaugh and former Baltimore Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman. However, McConkey and Palmer are the two Chargers' receivers with the highest fantasy draft capital, going in drafts in the middle rounds. With quarterback Justin Herbert throwing the ball, both McConkey and Palmer are WR3 candidates with upside.
