Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught four balls for a season-high 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams. His 6 targets marked a team high but accounted for just 20% of Justin Herbert's targeted passes. Coming off the Week 7 bye probably gave us the healthiest version of McConkey we've gotten all season, though.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw for 257 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams, with no TDs, 2 INTs, and a fumble (though his team didn't lose it). That marked a discouraging return from the Week 7 bye for the NFL's only winless team.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. McConkey has posted 3-35-0 and 4-66-0 lines in his only two healthy games this season. Consider him a WR3 in Week 8 lineups. The Chargers will also get WR Tre Harris (hamstring) back this weekend.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he should be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. McConkey has registered a route rate north of 52% in just two games this season due to multiple injuries. He posted 3-35-0 and 4-66-0 lines in those two games. Consider him a volatile WR3 in Week 8 fantasy lineups. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday, giving him a shot to return for this weekend's game.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and won't return. It's his first documented concussion. McConkey gets a well-timed Week 7 bye and should be cleared in time for Week 8.

Chargers WRs Ladd McConkey (foot) and Quentin Johnston (chest) are off the final Week 6 injury report. Both guys will be back for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after missing last week. Kansas City has allowed the fewest fantasy points to outside WRs this season, compared to the 12th-fewest to slot receivers. The matchup is much better for McConkey, putting him in play as a WR3. Try to keep Johnston on fantasy benches. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) is out for Week 6.

Chargers WRs Ladd McConkey (foot) and Quentin Johnston (chest) were limited in Wednesday's practice. It's an upgrade for McConkey, who missed practice all last week before being active but not playing a single snap vs. Denver. Johnston got in 3 limited practices last week before missing the Broncos game. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, while WRs Brenen Thompson (quad), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (rib), and KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) were limited. We'll keep you updated on the league's most injured WR corps over the next few days.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. It’s a surprise after reports this morning had him unlikely to play. McConkey only got in a limited practice on Friday and won’t be at 100% today. He’d be a risky fantasy start.

Update: McConkey is "not expected to play meaningful snaps," ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Try to keep McConkey on fantasy benches.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is not expected to play vs. the Broncos today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's not a surprise after McConkey aggravated his foot injury last Sunday and missed practice all week. With WRs Quentin Johnston (chest) and WR Brenen Thompson (quad) also out, the Chargers are down to WRs Tre Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease. Harris is the only viable fantasy play among the group. TE Oronde Gadsden should play a significant role in the passing game today.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He didn’t practice all week, though, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of that questionable tag. WR Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out, and so has WR Brenen Thompson (quad). That leaves Tre Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Derius Davis as the only healthy WRs on the active roster. WRs Theo Wease and Gary Jennings are on the practice squad.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He dealt with this issue last week and then aggravated it in the loss to the Seahawks. We're tentatively projecting McConkey to miss this Sunday's game vs. the Broncos but will keep you updated on his status.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed that WR Ladd McConkey aggravated the foot injury that had him listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Harbaugh labeled McConkey "day to day," but don't be surprised if he misses at least one game with this issue. McConkey was ineffective before exiting, failing to catch either of his targets. We'll keep tabs on his status this week, but fantasy owners should make other plans for Week 5 lineups.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks with a foot injury. It's presumably an aggravation of the foot issue that had him questionable coming into this one. We'll update McConkey's status when we know more.

Update: McConkey has been ruled out.
