It looks like Ladd McConkey will be back this week after sustaining a concussion in Week 6. McConkey has been in and out of the lineup all season with the concussion, a rib issue, a foot issue, and a chest injury. It's tough to consider him as anything more than a dart-throw flex at this point in the season with a bad matchup.

McConkey returning but dart-throw flex only; Rams' elite WR defense limits upside.

McConkey will be back this week after sustaining a concussion in Week 6. He has been in and out of the lineup all season with concussion, rib, foot, and chest injuries. When on the field, he has a 20% TPRR, 2.22 YPRR, and 14.1% first-read share. He is tough to consider as anything more than a dart-throw flex at this point with a bad matchup. Over their last five games, the Rams have allowed the second-fewest yards per target and third-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers.
