Ladd McConkey at Rams — Concussion Protocol Clouds Cross-Town Matchup

McConkey remains questionable for Week 8 after sustaining a concussion prior to the Chargers' bye week. Listed as the starting slot receiver alongside Quentin Johnston, McConkey has battled several ailments this season, and fantasy managers should check back frequently for the latest practice updates and clearance news.

If cleared, our weekly projection envisions a bounce-back with about 3.7 receptions for 49 yards on roughly six targets (10.3 fantasy points). With the winless Chargers facing negative game script as road underdogs, McConkey profiles as a risky flex option given his recent lack of volume and multiple offensive line injuries.

Ja'Kobi Lane at Buffalo — Expanding Role in a Potential Shootout

Since returning from his wrist injury, rookie wideout Ja'Kobi Lane has quickly carved out a starting role on the outside alongside Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman. Lane has drawn five targets in back-to-back games, including serving as a reliable chain-mover on third downs in recent action.

In what projects as a high-scoring road matchup against the Bills, our models project Lane for approximately 3 receptions and 29 yards (6.6 fantasy points). Roster rates sit near 27%, making the rookie a high-upside stash or deep-league flex option who could see elevated volume if the Ravens fall into a negative game script.
