Ladd McConkey at Seattle — Trailing Game Script Offers Flex Appeal if Healthy

After playing through a cracked rib over the first three weeks, McConkey surfaced on the injury report with a new foot issue that limited his practice participation. He remains questionable as the Chargers' starting slot receiver, so fantasy managers should check back frequently for updates on his game-day availability.

With Los Angeles entering as seven-point road underdogs against Seattle, game script could easily force a pass-heavy approach. Our weekly projection tabs him for 11.2 fantasy points on approximately 3 receptions and 49 receiving yards, making him a viable flex option if cleared to suit up.
