Ladd McConkey a Non-Participant in Wednesday's Practice
Updating a previous report, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. An initial report on Wednesday suggested that McConkey would be back at practice on Wednesday after aggravating a foot injury in the Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. McConkey failed to haul in either of his two targets in the eventual 30-23 loss on the road, and his status for the Week 5 divisional meeting at home against the Denver Broncos this Sunday is a bit up in the air. Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) were limited participants in practice, so the winless Chargers' receiving corps is a little beat up this week. If McConkey is limited or out this weekend, Tre' Harris would be a worthwhile receiver streamer against a Broncos defense that does not look nearly as dominant as it did in 2025. Through four games, McConkey has not bounced back from a frustrating second year in the NFL, as he has only 12 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown with quarterback Justin Herbert struggling. Check back on McConkey's status over the next two days to get a better read on whether he will play Sunday against Denver.

Ladd McConkey Expected Back at Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) will be at Wednesday's practice, head coach Jim Harbaugh told reporters. That's a positive development after McConkey lasted only 24 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to Seattle before leaving with the same foot injury he had carried into the game. He had been limited Wednesday, sat out Thursday, and returned on a limited basis Friday last week before being cleared to play. McConkey didn't catch either of his two targets against the Seahawks, leaving him with 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown through four games. How much work he actually handles Wednesday will be more telling than simply being back on the field. The Chargers host Denver in Week 5, and McConkey's participation over the next few practices should give fantasy managers a better idea of whether he's trending toward playing.

Quentin Johnston Can Be Dropped in Most Fantasy Leagues
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has not disappeared from the offense, but there is not much fantasy value left in the role right now. He has seven catches for 108 yards on 19 targets through four games, and Week 4 summed up the problem pretty well: one catch for 44 yards on only two targets. Tre' Harris has been much more productive, with 13 catches for 209 yards on 21 targets, while Johnston has yet to score this season. The Chargers still list Johnston as a starter on their unofficial depth chart, so this is not a case of him being completely phased out. The production just has not followed the playing time. RotoBaller's Week 5 Cut List labels Johnston a drop in most leagues, although its waiver coverage still leaves room for him as a boom-or-bust option in deeper formats. In standard leagues, Johnston can be dropped for a more useful option. Deeper leagues can justify one more bench spot if waivers are thin.

Ladd McConkey Now Considered Day-to-Day
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh called wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) day-to-day on Tuesday, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. It comes a day after McConkey was considered week-to-week after aggravating a foot injury and being pulled from Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old gave his fantasy managers a donut over the weekend, failing to catch either of his two targets in Seattle before leaving the contest and not returning. McConkey's foot injury is not serious, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to do enough in practice this week to receive the green light to suit up this Sunday at home against the division-rival Denver Broncos. And if the former first-rounder from Georgia does play in Week 5, he could have his snaps managed, making him a risky option in starting fantasy lineups. McConkey had five catches for 82 yards and his first touchdown of the year in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but he has caught only seven passes on 11 targets for 101 yards in the last three games combined. Fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on McConkey's practice participation this week.

Tre' Harris a Must-Roster Player with Teammate Injured
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris has been the team's leading receiver this season and could see an even bigger role in Week 5. Through four games, Harris has caught 13 of 21 targets for 209 yards, including more than 60 yards in back-to-back games. In last week's 30-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Harris played 66 of 71 snaps (93%) and ran 39 of 43 routes (91%), both leading the team. With Ladd McConkey (foot) uncertain to play in Week 5, Harris could become Justin Herbert's clear number one receiver. With the Denver Broncos next up and star cornerback Pat Surtain (ankle) unlikely to play, Harris could be in line for a solid outing in Week 5. Fantasy managers should add Harris as both a short-term and long-term option this season.

Ladd McConkey Week-to-Week With Foot Injury
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Monday that wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is "week-to-week" with a foot injury that he suffered in Sunday's Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to Alex Insdorf. McConkey was dealing with a foot injury going into the game on Sunday, but it gave him more problems against Seattle and forced him from the game. The 24-year-old former first-rounder's status for the Week 5 contest at home against the division-rival Denver Broncos is unclear for now, but fantasy managers should be planning for McConkey to miss some time. If he does, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris would have higher target ceilings as quarterback Justin Herbert's primary targets in the passing game as the Bolts search for their first win of 2026. Before leaving on Sunday in Seattle, McConkey failed to reel in either of his two targets. He was able to score in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals and rack up 82 receiving yards, but he caught seven passes on eight targets for 101 scoreless yards in Weeks 2 and 3.

Ladd McConkey Ruled Out with Foot Injury
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) has been downgraded to out with a foot injury, according to the team. The team's No. 1 wideout was listed as questionable heading into this game with a foot injury and appears to have faced a further setback. Before exiting the contest, the pass catcher drew two targets but did not catch any of them. Fantasy managers should watch his status, as he could be in danger of missing Week 5. For the remainder of the contest, Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston should see most of the targets from Justin Herbert.

Ladd McConkey Active Against Seahawks
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is active Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. There was some concern about his availability after McConkey missed Thursday's practice, though he was able to get back on the field in a limited fashion Friday. He was officially listed as questionable. McConkey has 12 catches for 183 yards and a touchdown through three games, but the targets haven't exactly been piling up lately. He saw three in Week 2 and five last week. RotoBaller has McConkey at WR32 for Week 4, which puts him more in the WR3 mix than among the receivers fantasy managers need to force into lineups.

Ladd McConkey Expected to Play Against Seahawks in Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McConkey missed practice on Thursday, logged a limited practice on Friday, and was officially listed as questionable entering the weekend. However, Rapoport reports that McConkey's foot injury is not nearly as serious as his rib injury from earlier this season, and it's not expected to cost him any playing time. McConkey hasn't caught a touchdown since Week 1, but he has posted a respectable 10+ PPR points in two of his three games so far, ranking as the overall WR27. Los Angeles' offense has been tough to watch this year, but we'd still roll out McConkey as a solid WR2 option in most fantasy leagues.

Tre' Harris Faces Tough Test After Recent Surge
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris has been one of the few bright spots in the passing game over the last two weeks. He led the team with 53 receiving yards in Week 2 on one catch, then followed that with six receptions for 76 yards on seven targets in Buffalo. Harris now has 10 catches for 149 yards on 16 targets through three games, and his 76 yards last week were a regular-season career high. Ladd McConkey (foot) is questionable for Sunday, so Harris could have another chance to stay involved if McConkey is limited or unavailable. The problem is the matchup. Seattle has allowed the fewest receiving yards to wide receivers this season and has been especially good at limiting explosive plays. Harris sits at WR57 in RotoBaller's latest Week 4 rankings. His recent production has earned attention, but this is still a difficult spot to trust him outside deeper leagues.

Ladd McConkey Carries Extra Risk Into Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) has a few things working against him entering Week 4. He was limited Wednesday, missed Thursday's practice and returned in a limited capacity Friday, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game in Seattle. McConkey has caught 12 of 15 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown through three games, so the efficiency has been there when Justin Herbert looks his way. The volume has not. He saw only three targets in Week 2 and five last week in Buffalo, finishing with four catches for 66 yards. Seattle has also been one of the toughest defenses for opposing wide receivers through three weeks. McConkey sits at WR32 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings with the foot injury, matchup and recent target totals all working against him. Fantasy managers need to make sure he is active Sunday, and even if he plays, he carries more risk than usual as a WR3 or flex option.

Quentin Johnston Off Fantasy Radar in All Formats vs. Seahawks
Los Angeles Chargers wideout Quentin Johnston has seen his fantasy stock drop each week this season. Johnston hasn't taken advantage statistically of Ladd McConkey (foot) playing through injuries, while Tre Harris has shown flashes. However, the Chargers could be without McConkey on Sunday, who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game. McConkey missed one practice and logged two limited sessions during the week. Johnston enters Week 4 as RotoBaller's PPR WR63 in a tough matchup. The Seahawks defense has allowed the fewest receiving yards, receiving yards per reception, receiving plays over 20-plus yards, and receiving yards over 40 yards. Johnston should be viewed as a WR5 at best and should be out of fantasy lineups in Week 4. If he doesn't improve his play, Johnston could be surpassed by Harris in the Chargers target pecking order.

Ladd McConkey Listed as Questionable to Play in Week 4
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 4's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. After downgrading from limited to non-participant Thursday, McConkey was limited in practice Friday and remains questionable for Week 4. In the first three weeks of the season, McConkey has hauled in 12 of 15 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown. Despite being very efficient, McConkey hasn't lived up to expectations so far this season amid the Chargers' offensive struggles. If he plays against Seattle, fantasy managers should temper expectations given the Chargers' offensive issues and Seattle's elite defense. If he's inactive, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris are likely to see more playing time, but neither is a guaranteed starter in fantasy this week.

Ladd McConkey Back on Practice Field Friday
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was back on the practice field Friday after sitting out Thursday, but he wasn't doing much during the portion open to reporters. Kris Rhim of ESPN noted that McConkey did not run routes or catch passes with the other Chargers receivers and instead stood off to the side watching. His presence is still a step forward after Thursday's absence, though it doesn't tell us much yet about whether he'll be ready for Sunday's game against Seattle. McConkey was limited Wednesday before being downgraded to a non-participant Thursday. He has caught 12 of 15 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown through three games, including four receptions for 66 yards last week against Buffalo. RotoBaller currently has him at WR32 for Week 4. His official Friday participation level and final game designation will carry much more weight than simply being back on the field.

Ladd McConkey Seen Walking Out of Locker Room with a Limp
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Thursday due to a foot injury after logging a limited session on Wednesday. According to Kris Rhim of ESPN, McConkey was seen walking out of the locker room with a limp. McConkey's status for a Week 4 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks seems cloudy at best right now. McConkey has amassed 12 catches (on 15 targets) for 183 yards (15.3 yards per reception) and a touchdown through three games in 2026 . McConkey was already dealing with a rib injury as well, but he is yet to miss a game. If McConkey is out of the lineup, the Chargers will rely on wide receivers Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris, tight end Oronde Gadsden and others in the passing game in Week 4 against the Seahawks.
