STACKED’s take

NeutralUsage

McConkey's contested catches fell; new scheme should reduce those situations.

McConkey's contested catch rate dropped from 57% as a rookie to 3-of-14 (21%) last year, a significant decline. However, the Chargers' offensive environment was compromised: Justin Herbert ran a league-high 95 pass routes without a pass attempt due to sacks, scrambles, and throwaways. After Joe Alt's injury, McConkey averaged only 2.7 catches for 38 yards per game. The new scheme should reduce contested-catch situations and increase quick-hitter targets.
