STACKED’s take
McConkey has sub-20% target share; Chargers rank 27th in passing yards, face Rams' strong secondary.
McConkey had a strong Week 1 (five catches for 82 yards, a TD, 16.7 fantasy points) but has done nothing since due to injuries and underperformance across the Chargers offense. He has a sub-20% target rate on his routes run; even in the first three weeks before his foot injury aggravation and concussion, McConkey trailed both Quentin Johnston (19.8%) and Tre' Harris (18.6%) in target share at just 17.4%. Los Angeles ranks 27th in passing yards per game (190.2) and 29th in passing touchdowns per game (0.8), so no receivers in this corps have been consistent. McConkey is returning from bye for a matchup with the Rams, who should get corner Trent McDuffie back this week. The Rams have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the second-fewest yards per game, and third-fewest yards per target on downfield throws, where McConkey has seen the majority of his targets.
