Ladd McConkey 2025 Fantasy Preview
2024: McConkey had an excellent rookie season with 82 catches for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns as Justin Herbert’s No. 1 wideout. He got better as the year wore on; from Week 11-18, McConkey was eighth among all wideouts in yards and sixth in yards per route, a key measure of a pass catcher’s efficiency. McConkey saw a target on a strong 24 percent of his pass routes as a rookie.
What’s changed: The Chargers drafted Tre Harris in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Josh Palmer left the Chargers for the Bills, but the Chargers reunited with Keenan Allen in the summer.
2025 Outlook: McConkey profiles as a potential breakout receiver who could crack the top-5 at the position with enough pass volume in the Chargers offense. He wins at every level of the field and has proven efficient, earning the trust of coaches and, importantly, Justin Herbert. McConkey could be one of the most critical fantasy draft picks of the season.
