22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Los Angeles Chargers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
McConkey's college career at Georgia was defined by efficient production on a limited quantity of routes and targets. He never even came close to 400 routes or 100 targets in a season, but he averaged at least 9.3 yards per target and 2.08 yards per route each year while serving as Robin to TE Brock Bowers' Batman. As much as there's no shame in taking a backseat to Bowers, it's fair to have doubts about a guy that reached 500 receiving yards in a season just once and maxed out at 762 (2022, in 15 games). The rest of the profile looks promising, with McConkey having adequate size (6-0, 186) and running a 4.39 40 at the 2024 Combine. Things also went well for him in April, with the WR-deficient Chargers picking McConkey 34th overall. He now has a chance to be an instant-bake No. 1 receiver for a top-10 QB, albeit in a Chargers offense that has sent strong, repeated signals about wanting to run the ball a lot (namely the hiring of OC Greg Roman and jettisoning of WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams). The competition at WR is almost laughably weak, consisting of fourth-year pro Joshua Palmer and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston. Maybe the Chargers know something we don't and are confident McConkey and Johnston can get it done. If not, Herbert will spend his age-26 season on a team trying to win with running and defense despite having mediocre talent on defense and a subpar group of RBs. Read Past Outlooks

Five catches in win

November 3, 2024
McConkey secured five of seven targets for 64 yards in the Chargers' 27-10 win over the Browns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
McConkey set the pace in receptions and targets for the Chargers while checking in second in receiving yards to Quentin Johnston. The rookie has shown consistently improving chemistry with Justin Herbert, now having recorded at least five receptions in four of the last five contests. McConkey next takes aim at the Titans in a Week 10 home matchup.

McConkey, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Saints with a hip injury, is expected to be active versus New Orleans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie has been dealing with the hip issue for nearly two weeks at this point, and he was able to play through it in the Week 7 Monday night loss to the Cardinals. McConkey then managed to only get in a limited Friday practice this past week, but barring setbacks, he appears set to play a key role against New Orleans while fellow wideout Quentin Johnston likely sits out a second straight game due to an ankle injury.
