From the article

Ladd's absurd air yards conversion rate is driven in part by a 56-yard near-touchdown Hail Mary catch he had at the end of the first half last week against the Rams. He drew a target on just 15 percent of his pass routes against the Rams in Week 8 while accounting for 36 percent of the Bolts' air yards.

McConkey's 78% bullseye rate inflated by Hail Mary; consider benching if receiver-deep.

McConkey posted a 78 percent bullseye rate (4th-highest), driven in part by a 56-yard near-touchdown Hail Mary catch in Week 8 against the Rams. He drew targets on just 15 percent of pass routes while accounting for 36 percent of the Bolts' air yards; the Chargers had only 202 total team air yards (well below their 277-yard season average). The source suggests McConkey can still be flexed in 12-team leagues but recommends benching him if solid at receiver, as he may face negative regression.
