Yahoo Fantasy Football on Ladd McConkey
From the article
McConkey converted 41.1% of his targets into first downs when used with pre-snap motion compared to only 24% without it. That matters because McDaniel's offense is built around timing, movement and creating space before the football is snapped.
STACKED’s take
McConkey's target share rises to 25.9% with Allen gone; McDaniel system unlocks 15.44 PPG ceiling.
McConkey ran 83 more routes in 2025 than 2024 but produced 360 fewer receiving yards (66 receptions, 789 yards, six touchdowns), appearing as regression but actually reflects environment: nearly 35% of targets came under pressure (twice the rate of others in group), average time to throw 3.00 seconds (longest of five), and caught only 3 of 14 deep targets. Mike McDaniel arrival matters significantly—McConkey converted 41.1% of targets into first downs with pre-snap motion versus 24% without it, and McDaniel's offense is built around timing and pre-snap movement. Keenan Allen departure pushes McConkey's projected target share from 19.5% to 25.9% with path to 145 targets. Healthier offensive line expected after league-high combinations last season. Source projects ceiling of 15.44 half-PPR points per game with limited high-end target competition and creative coordinator.
