McConkey has just five targets in loss to Bills

Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Player Stats

Ladd McConkey caught 4-of-5 targets for 66 yards in a Week 3 loss to the Bills.

McConkey played on 61 of the Chargers’ 69 snaps and ran a route on 37 of their 43 dropbacks, but the Chargers were unable to get him going. He did have a nice toe-tapping catch on third-and-15 to set up the Chargers deep in the Bills’ red zone, but they were unable to punch it in. Teams are going to start realizing that McConkey is the only consistent option in this Chargers offense and try to take him away. That will make him a risky WR2 in fantasy leagues until the team can figure out how to fix the kinks in their new offensive scheme.

Ladd McConkey

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Ladd McConkey (ribs) is not on Los Angeles’ final injury report for Week 3 against the Bills.

He practiced in full all week and will presumably be more involved than he was in Week 2, when he was on a snap count. McConkey can be started as a mid-range WR2 despite Los Angeles’ struggles so far against a Bills defense that has allowed 30 points in each of their first two games.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (ribs) practiced in full on Thursday.

That makes two full practices for the Chargers’ star wide receiver. Unless he suffers a setback, McConkey will suit up on Sunday to take on the Bills. He was on the field for 24-of-34 passing plays last week, and logged just six snaps outside of that. Hopefully, he can stay on the field for almost all of QB Justin Herbert’s dropbacks this week. McConkey should be in fantasy lineups.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice.

McConkey was a full participant in practice after getting in a limited practice last week and playing in Week 2 against the Raiders. The 24-year-old was limited by both the injury and the Chargers’ stagnant offense but looks to be healing enough to practice fully this week. McConkey is trending to play Week 3 against the Bills, where he will be in the low-end WR2 mix.

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Ladd McConkey caught all three of his targets for 35 yards in the Chargers’ Week 2 loss to the Raiders.

Playing through a cracked rib, McConkey was largely tasked with decoy duties in this game. He ran 71 percent of the total routes but was targeted on just 14 percent of his routes. For reference, McConkey was targeted on 39 percent of his routes in Week 1. McConkey still made the most of his limited targets in this contest, converting a pair of third-and-long plays when the offense desperately needed someone to step up. He should earn more targets and run more routes in a potential shootout with the Bills in Week 3. McConkey will be in the WR2 mix for that game.

LAC Wide Receiver #15

Ladd McConkey (rib) is active for Week 2 against the Raiders.

McConkey was trending toward playing as of this morning and made it through pregame workouts without any issues. He will wear a protective jacket for this game and will likely play fewer than his normal number of snaps. Fantasy managers can move him down the WR2 ranks because of the injury, but it’s hard to pull him out of lineups entirely. Inactive for the Chargers are S Elijah Molden, CB Deane Leonard, CB Isas Waxter, OL Logan Taylor, OL Alex Harkey, and OL Trey Pipkins III.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Ladd McConkey (rib) is “pushing to play” in Week 2 against the Raiders.

McConkey suffered a cracked rib in the Chargers’ Week 1 loss to the Cardinals. He logged one limited practice this week before being listed as questionable. According to Rapoport, McConkey has “improved more steadily than anticipated.” He notes that the team did not elevate a receiver from the practice squad over the weekend, indicating some optimism that McConkey will play. Fantasy managers will want to check inactives 90 minutes before kickoff, but all signs point to McConkey suiting up today. He will be a high-risk WR2.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (ribs) is questionable for Week 2 against the Raiders.

McConkey managed a limited session Friday and eventually drew the questionable tag as he attempts to play through a rib injury suffered in Week 1. Considering his value to this team, we would expect him to do what he can to play. That said, fantasy managers find themselves in a pickle with the Chargers not playing until the afternoon portion of games, meaning alternate plans should be in the works over the weekend. McConkey is a locked-in WR2 with WR1 upside, if active.

Ladd McConkey (ribs) is working off to the side of the practice with a trainer on Thursday.

In other words: He’s not actually practicing. It’s generally good news that McConkey has been spotted near the team, but we’re going to need to see a major turnaround on Friday to do better than a questionable tag for the 2024 second-round pick.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said WR Ladd McConkey (ribs) will not practice on Wednesday.

Sitting out on a Wednesday is not the end of the world for established starters. However, this does push McConkey further into the questionable column. The Chargers signed WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling yesterday. Although Valdes-Scantling is unlikely to meaningfully contribute, the fact that the team felt they needed to bring in an extra wide receiver is slightly concerning. McConkey still has two days to get right. If he returns tomorrow, that would be great news.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh said Ladd McConkey (ribs) is considered day-to-day.

Harbaugh also declined to say whether he expected McConkey to play in Week 2 against the Raiders, instead saying the team wants to see how he feels over the course of the week. The Chargers will release their first injury report of the week on Wednesday, but if McConkey can log a few limited practices before the weekend, he should have a shot to suit up on game day.

The Denver Post’s Sam Jane reports Broncos WR Jaylen Waddle is “fine” after he was spotted in a walking boot following the Broncos’ Week 3 win over the Rams.

Waddle was spotted in a walking boot after the Broncos’ Sunday night win, prompting speculation over his status. Jane reports that Waddle is “fine” while beat reporter Zac Stevens said a source told him “there’s nothing wrong” with the 27-year-old wideout. The boot certainly could have been a precautionary measure but we will wait for Wednesday’s practice report to find out if Waddle is truly dealing with an injury.

49ers signed WR Dante Pettis to their practice squad.

Pettis reunites with the 49ers, who add him for receiver depth given the rash of pass-catcher injuries to open the season. He began his career as a second-round pick for San Francisco, bouncing around as a depth receiver and special teamer with the Giants, Bears, and Saints as well. Pettis may see some game day action soon given his familiarity with Kyle Shanahan, but he should be nowhere near fantasy rosters.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. (NIR/conditioning) was a full participant in Tuesday’s practice.

Though Porter has been listed on the injury report with a back issue to start the season, he was listed for “conditioning” to open this week. It’s no secret Porter is in a contract dispute and the Steelers have been getting trade calls on the 26-year-old. However, he is practicing fully ahead of a Week 4 Thursday matchup against the Browns and could certainly play. When asked if Porter will play, head coach Mike McCarthy said, “We hope so.” With Jalen Ramsey dealing with a broken wrist, Porter’s help will be welcome in the secondary.

Ramsey has been listed as a limited practice participant for the Steelers’ first two practice reports. He told Pryor that his wrist is broken but still has a chance to play against the Browns on Thursday. If he does play, Ramsey will likely wear a brace/cast on his wrist after wearing one in practice this week.

The 34-year-old was released in March by the Lions and has not had any visits up to this point. He had a 56.8 PFF blocking grade in 873 snaps with the Lions last year, missing time due to a knee injury.
