BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR40
ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is one of my favorite stash candidates, especially for fantasy players with a 2-1 or 3-0 record heading into Week 4. The rookie receiver is the WR51 over the first three weeks, averaging 7.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.
The former Georgia star shined in Week 1, with five receptions on seven targets for 39 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 12.4 fantasy points against the Las Vegas Raiders. However, he has cooled off the past two weeks, totaling five receptions on 10 targets for 70 receiving yards and 9.5 fantasy points.
Yet, fantasy players could see McConkey have a breakout performance on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers are heavy underdogs and should have to chase points this week. More importantly, the rookie has been among the league leaders in target-per-route-run rate this season.

Fantasy players should avoid starting McConkey in shallower leagues. However, the former Georgia star is an appealing flex option in deeper leagues this week.
