Outlook Ladd McConkey

Ladd McConkey at Seattle: Likely to play through foot issue as a cautious flex option

Ladd McConkey is listed as questionable with a foot injury after being limited late in the week, but reports indicate he is likely to suit up today in Seattle. When on the field, McConkey serves as the primary slot weapon in the Chargers' passing attack alongside Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris.

Lingering foot and rib concerns have caused his start rate to dip near 50%, introducing some in-game re-injury risk. However, with Los Angeles facing a projected negative game script as touchdown underdogs, our projections forecast roughly 3-4 catches for nearly 50 yards and 11 fantasy points, making him a viable WR3 or flex option.
