BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 56% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It's still not clear how the wide receiver stuff is going to shake out in Los Angeles, but rookie Ladd McConkey served as the team's best wideout in the team's 17-10 loss to Kansas City on Sunday.
McConkey was targeted seven times, catching five passes for 67 yards and a score. It was the third time this season that McConkey was targeted at least six times and his second game with a touchdown reception. His role continues to grow as the season goes along.
Ladd McConkey would be putting up much better numbers if not for the Chargers' brutal pace of play (30th) and pass rate (28th).
Per @rotounderworld, he's averaging the 9th-most yards per route run among all wide receivers with an average cushion of 7.84, best in the league.

There aren't many spots around the league where the No. 1 receiver role is still this open, but the Chargers are one of those teams with question marks. McConkey is playing like someone who is about to reach out and claim that job. Add him off the wire in 12-team leagues if he's still available.
