Red zone target drought (0 of 11 end zone passes) limits TD upside despite volume
Ladd McConkeyWRLAC
In a good spot to rebound this week, but faces a red zone usage concern; was 44th in red zone usage last year and has received zero red zone targets so far this season despite being a focal point outside the red zone. Herbert has thrown 11 passes into the end zone with five to Johnston and five to Allen, but none to McConkey, creating a touchdown deficit relative to yardage production. Yardage-wise hasn't been different from Keenan Allen weeks one through three; it's just the touchdowns that have gone to Allen instead.

That's in the one bugaboo for Lad who is I would argue he's in a really good spot this week to kind of rebound. It's just the only thing I think we have to worry about is just the touchdown performance... he was 44th in like a red zone usage... Allen and Johnston both have five red zone targets. Makanki has one. Herbert's thrown 11 passes into the end zone. None to Maki so far.
