STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

McConkey is a breakout target due to McDaniel's scheme and Herbert's passing upside.

John Daigle is high on McConkey, citing the arrival of Mike McDaniel as a play-caller for the Chargers. Daigle notes that McDaniel's history of utilizing motion and high-efficiency passing schemes, combined with Justin Herbert's talent, creates significant upside for McConkey, who maintains a high target share from motion.
