JJ Zachariason is bullish on Ladd McConkey despite a production dip in year two. Underlying metrics remain strong—he cleared the 88th percentile versus man, zone, and press coverage. The issue was offensive line collapse, not receiver regression. With Mike McDaniel's arrival and offensive line improvements, Zachariason expects the Chargers offense to significantly outperform projections on touchdowns (7–10 above consensus), positioning McConkey and all Chargers pass-catchers to return value on ADP since higher team touchdown totals will lift individual player scoring above projections.
