ROSTERED IN: 75% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey isn't available in many leagues, but he should probably be available in none. He's a polished route runner and the clear top option for quarterback Justin Herbert, who is still elite. The run-heavy scheme is the only thing holding him back.

He's not sneaky athletic; he's just extremely fast. He also has a natural feel for space and great quickness. The only knock on him is his size, and there are legitimate injury concerns, considering he never played a full season in college, but at the price of free from waivers, he's absolutely worth it. He's the Chargers' No. 1 target.

In games where Los Angeles is forced to pass the ball more, he has much more upside. Better days are ahead for him.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10-12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 / FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: With so many injuries to the Texans wide receivers, we expected a big uptick in fantasy production from Tank Dell over the past few weeks, but he did not fully deliver.

BALLER MOVE: Don't Add ROSTERED IN: 3% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's still not a good idea to use a waiver claim or even a bench spot on Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins. He caught all four of his targets for 86 yards last week, but that performance was the exception rather than the rule […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 26% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeMario Douglas once again led all Patriots wide receivers in receiving yards this past Sunday. New England has been maddeningly inconsistent with their wide receiver usage. However, the one constant has been Douglas. He looks like the team’s best pass catcher […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Legette is coming off a bit of a disappointing game Sunday against the New York Giants. Carolina quarterback Bryce Young has played much better in his two-game return as the starter. This gives some hope for the Carolina passing game with […]
