Los Angeles Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught all three of his targets for 35 yards in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Why It Matters: McConkey did fantasy managers a solid by suiting up despite a Week 1 rib injury that was bad enough to make him a game-time decision for this contest. Unsurprisingly, he served mostly as a decoy as Justin Herbert targeted 10 different players with his 27 pass attempts. Through two weeks, McConkey is the only Charger receiver who has shown any sign of life, which is a bit of a surprise for an offense that was supposed to be supercharged by the arrival of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. McConkey should be a much better fantasy bet with another few days to heal in Week 3 as Los Angeles
attempts to keep pace with the red-hot Bills.
