News: 1 day agoMcConkey (calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Spin: While recording a 58 percent snap share in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Vikings, McConkey caught six of of a team-high 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. The wideout -- who has put up a 43/468/3 receiving line in eight contests to date -- now has two more chances to upgrade his participation level in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: McConkey is entering his second NFL season following an impressive rookie campaign in which he ranked in the top 20 among receivers in receptions, yards, TDs, catch rate, yards per target and yards per route run. Following a bit of an inconsistent start, McConkey heated up down the stretch and ended up 12th in fantasy points (18th in PPG). Including the playoffs, the 2024 second-round pick caught five or more passes in eight straight games to end the season. The 23-year-old has already emerged as Justin Herbert's top target and his short-to-intermediate role puts a 100-plus catch season in play in 2025. The arrival of Tre Harris and Keenan Allen could damper McConkey's upside a bit, but he's still a safe WR2 target.
