Ladd McConkey fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 7 (2024). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Ladd McConkey for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/Flex
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) is dealing with an injury, but there are no indications that it's serious, and he should play Monday night. If he does, he's worth a start as a WR3/flex option. He's an excellent receiver who's been held back by a lack of passing volume.

He's hogging targets on the Chargers -- the problem is, they've been super run-heavy. When they're forced to pass the ball more, the rookie will be the main beneficiary. He's the clear WR1 of the team. It's tough to produce well when your quarterback is throwing for under 200 yards per game.
His breakout may not happen in Week 7, unfortunately. Los Angeles will face the Arizona Cardinals, who have a depleted defensive roster that's struggled against the run this year. They also may not have rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. on offense, meaning they could struggle to score.
J.K. Dobbins could be set to shred the Cardinals' run defense ⚡
Dobbins ranks 6th among RBs in rushing yards this season. He'll face an Arizona defense that ranks 28th in rushing yards allowed to RBs, making this a favorable matchup for the Chargers' ground game. pic.twitter.com/xi3saxYanR

If we see another ball-controlled, low-scoring affair, McConkey will again have limited opportunities to produce. His priority in the offense alone makes him worth a start, though, especially in deeper leagues.
