From the article

He was the WR12 overall and WR19 in PPG his rookie year, and that should be his floor entering this year. Target hog Keenan Allen is gone, so he has very similar competition to 2024, when he had an excellent 24.5% target share. This is on top of his new OC having a history of absolutely feeding his WR1.

McConkey's WR12 floor and OC history support top-5 upside outside top-12.

McConkey was the WR12 overall and WR19 in PPG his rookie year, and that should be his floor entering this year. Target hog Keenan Allen is gone, so he has very similar competition to 2024, when he had an excellent 24.5% target share. His new OC has a history of absolutely feeding his WR1, with examples like Deebo Samuel's and Tyreek Hill's 1,700-yard seasons or Jaylen Waddle's 1,300-yard season. Justin Weigal notes there are not many receivers outside of the top-12 that have top-5 upside, besides Ladd McConkey.
