BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Flex
ANALYSIS: Rookie wideout Ladd McConkey should be considered a solid flex option this week in fantasy, particularly after his encouraging performance last week, where he recorded five catches on seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown.
McConkey's ability to contribute consistently in the passing game shows that he is becoming a trusted target for his quarterback Justin Herbert. As he gains more experience, his rapport with the offense is likely to strengthen, allowing him to make even more impactful plays.
With his recent production, he has established himself as a viable option for fantasy managers looking to fill their flex spots.
Ladd McConkey
Trinity Score (DDFantasy): 9th overall
Target Share: 25%
YPRR: 2.04
Air Yard Share: 33%Trade for him now before his value spikes like BTJ's. It'll currently cost you a late '25 1st in value, but it’s worth the investment.pic.twitter.com/Teruj9CcyF

This week, McConkey faces the Broncos, a team that has shown vulnerability against the pass in recent outings. McConkey could see ample opportunities to make plays, especially if the Broncos focus on shutting down the team's top receivers.
His role in the offense should continue to expand, providing fantasy managers with a chance to capitalize on his upside.
With his demonstrated ability to find the end zone and gain yards after the catch, McConkey should be viewed as a flex option with WR2 upside this week if he can once again find the end zone.
