Ladd McConkey, WR, Los Angeles Chargers (at DAL)
What a disaster this season has been for Ladd McConkey. He had an elite stretch from about Weeks 5-10. That was fun. Beyond that, it’s been miserable and he’s been mostly unstartable.
Over the past two weeks, McConkey has a total of three catches for 32 yards. He hasn’t exceeded six targets in a game since Week 8. The Chargers’ passing attack just isn’t functioning as well as it was last season.
If you’ve somehow made the semis with McConkey, though, this could be the week. The Cowboys allow the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. McConkey has to get going this week. Simply put, if not now, when?
Jayden Reed, WR, Green Bay Packers (at CHI)
It is incredibly risky putting any Packers wide receiver in fantasy lineups. You just never know what to expect.
Since returning from IR, Jayden Reed has had two solid games of 9.3 and 10.5 fantasy points. He’s never going to be an every-down player, but there’s clear intent to get him the ball.
With the perennially injured Christian Watson back on the shelf, Jordan Love needs playmakers. Love is easily the best one he’s got outside of Josh Jacobs.
Reed has seen six opportunities in each of his first two games back. He could be in line for increased usage against a Bears defense allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
