McConkey's WR18 ADP is too high; he'll disappoint as Chargers' WR1 with ball distribution.

Adam Dove argues that Ladd McConkey, drafted at ADP 41 (WR18), will disappoint fantasy managers expecting him to be the Chargers' WR1 under Mike McDaniel's offense. Dove notes McConkey's only 1,000-yard receiving season came in his rookie year, and he plays on a team with many unproven but capable pass-catchers. With Justin Herbert spreading the ball and Quentin Johnstone poised for a breakout, McConkey will not provide consistent weekly production at his current draft price; Dove would view him as a sleeper if he fell a few rounds later.
