I think the case where everybody is pushing him up into the teens and he's the big, massive target... I just don't buy it.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBust

McConkey is a bust candidate at his current ADP due to limited target share upside.

The source leans toward a bust stance for Ladd McConkey at his current ADP of 19. While he has a floor, the concern is a lack of 'boom' upside. The offense is not expected to funnel a 29% target share to him, which would be required for a WR12-type finish. Furthermore, the presence of Quentin Johnston and Trey Harris could limit his target volume, and his history of playing through injuries remains a concern.
