BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~100 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~122
ANALYSIS: While you've probably heard tons of off-season industry chatter about Ladd McConkey this summer, there's a good chance he could slip through the cracks with casuals.
After snagging 58 catches for 762 yards and seven TDs as a redshirt sophomore at Georgia in 2022, McConkey battled injuries throughout 2023, appearing in just nine games for the Bulldogs. That lack of impact in his final college season likely kept him off the radar of most fantasy football fans.

Many who follow football are well aware of players who go in the first round of the NFL Draft but might be a little fuzzy on guys that are selected in later rounds, so when the Chargers traded up to grab McConkey in the second round of the Draft, it probably went unnoticed by lots of folks in your home league.
It's a dreamy landing spot for the rookie, as he'll have a chance for immediate playing time in a Bolts receiving corps that lost both Keenan Allen and Mike Williams during the offseason.
McConkey's precise route-running makes him a natural to inherit Allen's vacated slot role. While there's always some risk involved with rookie receivers, he could legitimately lead the Chargers in targets in 2024 and is an especially intriguing draft target in PPR formats.
