Ladd McConkey 2025 Fantasy Football Outlook: Room For Sophomore Leap
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey just blew away expectations with 82 catches for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. His 73.2% catch rate ranked 16th among qualified wideouts, and his 14 yards per reception ranked 21st, so he wasn't simply leaning on easy, short routes. McConkey was a clear favorite of Justin Herbert as the team needed someone to step up in the first year of Jim Harbaugh's LAC era. Moving forward, Quentin Johnston's inconsistency is a concern, and Mike Williams has injury concerns, with second-round pick Tre Harris ideally helping to draw attention away from McConkey. The team still lacks a clear receiving threat at tight end, which helps McConkey's primary slot usage (72% last year) feast in the middle of the field. If his 22.9% target share creeps up and he sees more than six targets in the end zone (Johnston had seven), then there's room to grow past his top-24 ADP and RotoBaller rank.
