Ladd McConkey (Chargers) vs. Texans: McConkey has been a disappointment this season (7.2 fantasy points per game, 17-286-1 receiving, 24 targets), as he has missed time and played limited snaps (56% route rate). But in his first game off the bye last week he had a full workload (92% route rate, 39% air yard share) and his best game since Week 1 (10.6 fantasy points, 4-86-0 receiving, 6 targets).

Ladd McConkey upgraded vs. Texans; worst WR defense and improved recent usage.

Upgraded for Week 9 vs. Texans, one of the worst flow-chart defenses for WRs (No. 1 in most fantasy points allowed to WRs at 32.4). McConkey has been disappointing this season (7.2 fantasy points per game, 17-286-1 receiving, 24 targets, 56% route rate) but showed signs of life in his first game off bye last week (10.6 fantasy points, 4-86-0 receiving, 6 targets, 92% route rate, 39% air yard share). Career home splits favor McConkey (12.1 fantasy points per game, 64.5 yards, 0.56 TDs vs. 8.7, 53.2, 0.20 away). Texans are No. 29 in defensive pass DVOA vs. No. 1 WRs (19.2%), providing significant upgrade opportunity.
