Ladd McConkey overpriced at WR19; underperformed Johnston on per-game basis, inefficient.

Ladd McConkey is overpriced at ADP WR19 consensus versus the source's WR27 ranking. The source ranked him ahead of Quentin Johnston (WR39), even though Johnston outscored McConkey on a per-game basis in 2025, with McConkey finishing 12 spots behind Johnston in points per game. McConkey was inefficient with 7.4 yards per target versus the 8.0 league average. The Chargers' offensive line was so poor that Justin Herbert had to run for his life, a challenge Johnston also faced. Johnston is back and the team picked up his fifth-year option for 2027 at $16.5 million, making the McConkey pick problematic relative to Johnston's WR39 price.
