WR1 role uncertain amid receiving corps depth; two-TE scheme could help
Ladd McConkeyWRLAC
Slater questions whether McConkey qualifies as a true WR1 in the Chargers offense despite being a good receiver. The concern centers on receiving corps depth: with David Njoku and Rondale Moore in the mix, plus potential emergence from Tre Harris or Brandon Thompson, McConkey's role may be constrained. However, if the Chargers lean heavily into two-tight-end sets (copying Sean McVay's approach), McConkey and Quentin Johnston as the top two receivers could "get the job done" without needing a strong WR3.
