McConkey could be this year's Jaxon Smith-Njigba. A former top-40 draft pick on an offense that lacks any significant target competition but got an upgrade at offensive coordinator in his third NFL season. Furthermore, Keenan Allen isn't coming back, making McConkey Justin Herbert's clear-cut favorite weapon in the passing game.

McConkey could be 2026's Jaxon Smith-Njigba with improved OL and no target competition.

McConkey ranked WR15 in 2026 PPR rankings with ADP of 46.2 (WR20 ADP). After an excellent rookie year, his 2025 production suffered due to Chargers offensive line injuries, but the team made several offseason additions to address this. With Keenan Allen gone, McConkey is Justin Herbert's clear-cut favorite weapon in the passing game. Mike Fanelli compares him to Jaxon Smith-Njigba: a former top-40 draft pick on an offense lacking significant target competition who received an offensive coordinator upgrade in his third NFL season.
