Elite second-half stats but poor full-year; fourth in YPRR when all WRs on field
The source fades McConkey in round 4 despite elite rookie second-half production. McConkey averaged 20.7 fantasy points per game with 26% target share and 106.8 yards per game in the second half of his rookie season—the best by any rookie WR all time, surpassing Puka Nacua, Jamar Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Malik Nabers. However, full-year performance was poor ('he was so bad last year') and there are better WRs in his draft range. When all three Chargers wide receivers were on the field simultaneously, McConkey ranked fourth in yards per route run behind Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, and Jalen Johnston, suggesting role compression and reduced alpha status. The source states: 'I'm fading Ladd McConkey... there's wide receivers in that range I like more.'
