Who Are the Best Players to Start This Week?
Ladd McConkey, WR, Chargers
I’m not sure it’s possible to be more impressed with how stable Ladd McConkey’s game is with him being still two months shy of his 24th birthday.
Sure, we’ve seen prospects come into the pros and offer more immediately in the way of per target upside, but McConkey plays as if he’s been identifying defenses and exposing pros for a decade.
As a rookie, he earned a 23.4% on-field target share with an average depth of look of 10.2 yards.
In Week 1, he earned a 23.7% on-field target share with an average depth of 10.3 yards.
That’s amazing consistency at face value, but when you consider that his slot rate shrunk from 66% last season to 48.1% against the Chiefs, it’s borderline mind-boggling.
His route tree is far beyond his years and it seems like the best is yet to come. McConkey totaled 13.4 PPR points on Friday night and maybe that’s not exactly what you were looking for given that the Bolts scored 27 points, but if Justin Herbert puts a little more air on a slant-and-go late in the second quarter, you’re looking at a 31-yard touchdown and a top-10 day at the office.
He pulled in five balls in both meetings with Vegas last season, but they were able to bottle him up to some degree. In those contests, six of his 10 catches gained no more than 10 yards, a rate that was well above his rate against the rest of the league as a rookie (41.7%).
Consider me not worried.
He was effectively just running to the sticks in those games. I’m expecting for him to showcase his growth and impress again. If you have McConkey on your roster and can keep your matchup reasonably close through the weekend, I think you’re going to have every chance to get across the finish line in the second game of the Monday Night double-header.
CeeDee Lamb, WR, Cowboys
The drops led off every highlight show last Friday, and they should have. Those lapses in concentration from a player like this in an offense that is going to rely on him are unacceptable.
But let’s take it down a notch in the fantasy world. Lamb was featured from the jump and finished with a 39.4% target share. He had more catches (seven) than any of his teammates had targets and posted a 13.8-yard average depth of target, higher than any single game from a year ago.
On Thursday, Lamb became the second-youngest player to reach 500 career receptions (bar trivia answer: Larry Fitzgerald sits atop that list) and also drew a pair of impactful pass interference calls to help keep the ‘Boys competitive.
Based on target expectations, Lamb underachieved projections by 14.3% and still flirted with 20 PPR points. This was always a strong first-round pick, and he remains a real threat to lead the position in scoring every time he laces ’em up (18.1 PPR PPG career vs. NYG with over 80 receiving yards in four of five home games against the divisional rival).
