BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: The rookie Ladd McConkey is coming off his lowest output since Week 6, as he caught just two passes for 52 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans. He played his usual amount of snaps but was targeted only twice as the Chargers went extremely run-heavy in a game that they dominated from start to finish.
This week it's likely that McConkey sees more targets as the Chargers face the Bengals on Sunday night. Cincinnati has a good offense and if the Chargers want to win, they are going to have to score some points and they won't be able to just sit on the ball as they did last week.
26. Ladd McConkey vs CIN
Bounce-back game loading for the young Ladd.
Primetime matchup against the Bengals.
They rank bottom-10 against opposing Fantasy WRs.
Before last week, McConkey saw 6+ Targets EVERY GAME since Week 2.
Strong start ⚡️

The matchup for McConkey is favorable as the Bengals have the 27th-rated pass defense in the NFL and have allowed at least 24 points in seven games this season! The Chargers love to run it, but have the eighth-ranked passing game in the NFL and can air it out when they need to.
McConkey is best deployed in full-PPR formats but is worthy of a FLEX play in all formats this week based on the strong matchup.
