WR Ladd McConkey, LAC (1 Viewer)

[FreeBaGeL]

KTC is the last resource I would use. They put way too much value on draft picks, even later ones.

"They" don't put value on anything. It's crowd sourced, so if the intent is to judge the consensus, that's straight to the source.

If anything, most resources are slow to catch up to the crazy high value most FF players put on draft picks and rookies these days. It keeps going up every year and manual calcs are slow to adjust.

 

[ghostguy123]

Again, that was if guaranteed.
Obviously a random future 1st and 2nd is not guaranteed anything.
That's very light for Ladd based on any value metric

No it's not. It's ok if your personal opinion is different. But going by KTC, Fantasy Pros Value Chart, PFF Value chart, Draft Shaks value chart, pretty much anywhere I've checked; that's about what his consensus value is. Maybe ~4th round pick up or down depending on source. But that's not "very light based on any value metric". Again, I would want more if I was selling him as well; but I also accept my opinion isn't the world's reality.

Ah the ole KTC guy. I like living in the real world (Actual money startup drafts) to determine players values not some site.

I sited just about every popular source available. Would love more sources to add to the list; please present the ones you use.

If there was only ONE source to use, startup draft ADP is the best

From where? And how will that correlate to what a player is worth in future draft picks?

1.2 - Malik Nabers
2.1 – Jayden Daniels
2.4 – Ladd McConkey
2.11 – Braelon Allen

well, I know you have not been especially happy with your past drafting, I'd say you fully nailed it in this draft.

well done. Nabers and Daniels both appear to be franchise players. McConkey is gonna be a very good WR. you got 3 long term (likely high end) starters for yourself. in any dynasty format, thats a great draft.

Not from what I’ve seen. KTC puts too much weight on draft picks when using their trade calculator. It should only be used for entertainment purposes.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey on taking chemistry to higher level with Justin Herbert: "The next step is you go back and watch film. There's times we might've missed a route, missed this, whatever."

"It's more organic. We're both competitors...We're practicing, watching film. When the season comes, be ready for it."

Is he a little overvalued going into 2025?

FBG has him as WR11. I've seen him as high as WR10.

He only had 112 Targets. I guess logically, we should assume he'll see more volume as a 2nd year player. But Herbert threw the fewest passes per game in his career. They went out and really committed to upgrading their RB room. They signed Najee. They spent a 1st on Hampton.

I guess just thinking out loud: Is the volume going to increase significantly? Is he worth going as WR10/11 if you're only getting 110-120 targets?

 

[JohnnyU]

The one thing that worries me about McConkey is health. His health history in college wasn't good and may have gotten lucky last year. I did hear he bulked up some, so maybe that will help. I'm not to a point where I trust him staying healthy long term.

Yep even going back to high school he had some injury troubles.

I guess just thinking out loud: Is the volume going to increase significantly? Is he worth going as WR10/11 if you're only getting 110-120 targets?

Well, if you break down his targets:

• Weeks 1-4 (played 4 games):
  • 24 targets = 6.0 per game
  • ADOT = 8.7
  • YPR = 11.7
  • YPT = 7.3
• Weeks 6-19 (played 13 games):
  • 100 targets = 7.7 per game
  • ADOT = 11.2
  • YPR = 15.4
  • YPT = 11.7

This split makes some sense to look at because:

• Herbert hurt his ankle in week 2 and played through it, which limited his effectiveness in the first 4 games.
• The Chargers were learning a new offense.
• The Chargers had their bye week in week 5.
• McConkey was obviously a rookie, so the early reps seemingly helped him adjust to the NFL and also helped OC Roman to figure out how best to use him.

If we scaled McConkey's performance in weeks 6-19 to 17 games, we get 99/1530/8 on 131 targets.

I'm not sure scaling like that is valid. He may still get fewer than 130 targets, given that the Chargers upgraded a lot of their targets as well as their running game. But the quality of McConkey's targets (i.e., the ADOT, YPR, YPT) should be similar to that week 6-19 performance. If he stays healthy, receptions and receiving yards should be good, harder to say about TDs, and that could hold him back a bit.

Yes.

I get Jayden Reed vibes. Everyone should look back at how highly valued Reed was this time last year. LM is a rock-solid player like Reed, but he's being valued at close to his ceiling.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Ladd can create separation anywhere on the field. There are only two things that would derail him imo 1) health 2) conservative offense. They are legitimate concerns, but the guy is a separating machine with better contested catch ability than I would have ever imagined.

I have an unhealthy love for McConkey and I agree with that.

 

[TripItUp]

Jeff Mans said McConkey is one of the worst 2nd round picks you can make this year.

A lot of the film guys like Matt Harmon and Waldman would disagree with that take.

Harmon/Waldman >> Mans

 

[King of the Jungle]

Very high floor imo, whether he reaches his upside (that he showed second half of last year) depends on how much Harbaugh/Roman hold the passing game back. Ladd could get you a 100 catches just running crossers and comebacks if the offense allowed it. He was Herberts security blanket as a rookie, I would wager they are even better together this year. This is the kind of receiver you grow old with and build an exorbitant amount of trust with. Thinking Manning/Harrison type relationship.

I like him too, but I still have that injury worry with him for now. He looks kind of frail to me. Hope the rumors of getting stronger are true.

Have not seen those rumors, do you have a link? If you watch him play, he really does a pretty good job of getting down. He is aware of it as well

No link, just read he was working to get stronger. I may still be affected by the Oxy after hip replacement. I saw a game last year, can’t remember which one, where he took a beating for 60 minutes.

Best of luck on the recovery. I watch every target he had last year and he seemed to have the awareness to get down in most instances. Of course, it just takes one hit and he is a competitor so it is a concern. Outside of that and the conservative offense, he is a guy who can be open when you need him to be and I expect him and Hebert to be best friends for a long time.

My response was about their value and had nothing to do with them as players. Reed's value was inflated last year. McConkey isn't quite on that level, but he's expensive and likely being drafted at his ceiling. We shall see what happens. I'm not drafting or buying him and am lessening my ownership where I can.

Well using Reed as an example was confusing, because he was drafted as a WR4 last year. Reed actually wasn't overdrafted at all last year. He returned pretty solid value all things considered. He just didn't stay the course he was on after the 1st month of the season. He was a sell-high after September, but a solid draft pick at ADP. I don't think McConkey is being overrated. He's going WR12 and that sounds about right. His pace from his last 8 games would have had him as the WR2 overall behind Chase. His worst game among that stretch was 6-83. Low-end WR1/High-end WR2 seems fair and is probably not accounting for the possibility that the Chargers finish with better passing numbers, as Justin Herbert got off to an injury plagued start.

There have been a number of reports that he has added 5+ pounds of muscle this offseason. Not earth shattering but he has demonstrated he is a hard worker, and I believe he has worked hard throughout this offseason to prepare his body for this season.

I'm being pressed to trade Ladd, got it up to pick 1.07 and a handcuff RB for my RB1. IDK, I like the guy. What caught me off guard last year was his speed, took some short passes and ran a long way.
Anyway, dude it telling me its a good offer and I need to take it or else we are done talking. So I am just ignoring him.
Am I being dense?

walk away. He isn't offering you close to good value. I would pay up 1.03+ for him. I wouldn't sell for less than 1.03.

That 7 is going to be like Egbuka, Judkins, RJ Harvey, So would you move Ladd for one of them and a handcuff? Also who is the handcuff, I suppose that does matter a tiny bit. I don't think it logically makes sense to do a 1 for 1 with Ladd unless you are guaranteed to get Jeanty, Hampton or Henderso (or Ward in 2QB).

It would be Allgeier to cuff to Bijan. And its a guarantee in this league it wont be Jeanty, Hampton or Henderson, might not even be Judkins.
I dont want to sit on my team until the draft, but its probably the best thing to do. Great QB, Bijan, three very good WRs(Ladd is my WR2) and two top 5 TEs. My only weakness is RB2, and even that is Kamara or Tracy, should be good for a year. So I have depth/options. I would like to solve RB2 for years to come, I wouldnt take Harvey, but Judkins or Kaleb would be nice. After the top 5 RBs, 6 if you count Harvey, there just is no one that catches my eye, in a year there is a lot of options. I guess just roll the dice and hope you hit on something in the draft.

If I were you, I would be looking more to buying for win now more than selling for draft picks. Try to get another veteran RB/WR that a team who is rebuilding would want to get rid of. Davante Adams, Kenneth Walker, CMC, Pittman, etc. Give you better depth for injuries and bye weeks, some insurance in case Kamara's wheels fall off this year or Ladd has a sophomore slump.

Very high floor imo, whether he reaches his upside (that he showed second half of last year) depends on how much Harbaugh/Roman hold the passing game back. Ladd could get you a 100 catches just running crossers and comebacks if the offense allowed it. He was Herberts security blanket as a rookie, I would wager they are even better together this year. This is the kind of receiver you grow old with and build an exorbitant amount of trust with. Thinking Manning/Harrison type relationship.

I like him too, but I still have that injury worry with him for now. He looks kind of frail to me. Hope the rumors of getting stronger are true.

Have not seen those rumors, do you have a link? If you watch him play, he really does a pretty good job of getting down. He is aware of it as well

There have been a number of reports that he has added 5+ pounds of muscle this offseason. Not earth shattering but he has demonstrated he is a hard worker, and I believe he has worked hard throughout this offseason to prepare his body for this season.

There’s no amount of bulking up that’s going to make a material difference to his game. The key for him will be learning to avoid unnecessary contact. Think Edelman. Every tackle this past season looked like a murder. Catch the ball, get your yards and get down.
