FantasyPros Articles on Ladd McConkey

From the article

Ladd McConkey has had a difficult season so far, with injuries and inconsistent production making him hard for fantasy managers to trust. According to the Fantasy Points Data Suite, McConkey runs routes on 67.9% of dropbacks and sees targets on 17% of those routes. He is producing 0.35 fantasy points per route run, which is reasonable but not at the level fantasy managers expected when drafting him. However, McConkey faces Josh Wallace of the Los Angeles Rams this week. Wallace allows just 0.13 fantasy points per route run and is targeted on only 11.7% of routes. This will be a difficult matchup for McConkey. McConkey returned to full practice this week after dealing with a concussion. Even if he is cleared to play, I wouldn't be particularly excited about the matchup. McConkey could still produce enough volume to be a FLEX option. However, fantasy managers shouldn't expect a top-24 finish against this Rams secondary.
