Ladd McConkeyWR
McConkey finished as WR13 in points per game while averaging 2.6 yards per route run. With Mike McDaniel taking over as offensive coordinator, McConkey's production should spike given McDaniel's pre-snap motion scheme, where McConkey has increased yards per route run by 93%, first downs per route by 150%, and points per route by 75%. McDaniel uses motion 19% more than league average, and his WR1s have averaged 16.6 fantasy points per game over the past three seasons. With Keenan Allen gone and the Chargers leaning into two-receiver sets, McConkey is positioned as the focal point and has a legitimate chance to finish as a top-five overall fantasy wide receiver in 2026.
