McConkey busted in 2024 after WR11 ADP; Harris cites injuries, competition, and offensive collapse.
Ladd McConkeyWRLAC
McConkey ranked WR14 on Harris's preseason list but finished WR11 in ADP at 26 overall; he busted in 2024, losing 16 catches and 360 yards from his rookie to sophomore season. Harris attributes the decline to multiple factors: ankle issues in training camp, AC joint and calf injuries midseason, foot issues late in the year, competition from Quentin Johnston and 33-year-old Keenan Allen, and a Chargers offense that 'leaked oil and seized up.' Harris notes McConkey didn't miss games by NFL standards but questions whether his rookie-year run was sustainable given his slot-only role, inability to consistently beat press coverage, and lack of elite size or speed.

He wound up wide receiver 14 on my list, and that was low. Overall, in ADP, he ended as the wide receiver 11 and number 26 overall... How does a young player lose 16 catches and 360 yards between his first and second seasons? Well, sometimes he gets hurt. Sometimes he simply wasn't as good as we thought. Sometimes a new player on the same team is better and more undeniable. Sometimes he loses his quarterback. And sometimes his entire offense leaks oil and seizes up and begins leaving little bits of itself all over the highway.
