Safe floor pick without league-winner upside; Christian Watson could easily outscore him.
Ladd McConkeyWRLAC
Davis Mattek views Ladd McConkey as a safe pick with low bust risk, but does not believe he is more likely than surrounding players to be a league winner; positions him as a floor/safety pick rather than a ceiling bet. Mattek contrasts McConkey with higher-upside selections like Malik Nabers and Colston Loveland, suggesting Christian Watson in the 60s range could easily outscore him. McConkey is also part of a high-ceiling wide receiver stack (with Devonta Smith, Devante Adams, and Jordan Addison) that may have such low floors on given weeks that teams with more balanced wide receiver depth could outperform in playoff weeks.
