STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

McConkey's efficiency and McDaniel's scheme upgrade support WR12 as WR1 value.

Denny Carter ranks McConkey WR12 and is all in on him as a WR1 you can draft as your WR2. McConkey was top ten in yards per route run as a rookie and gets a massive upgrade in offensive play-caller this season after former OC Greg Roman used him in all the wrong ways. McConkey has been highly efficient on pass routes that feature prominently in Mike McDaniel's offense, including crossers and posts. Running cold last year with one of the NFL's lowest catchable target rates, a bounce back is in the works.
