The Los Angeles Chargers (5-3) will visit the Tennessee Titans (1-7) in Week 9. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Ladd McConkey.

Should You Start or Sit McConkey in Week 9?
We are so back.
It was delayed, but you’re now in a position to get what you paid for this summer in Ladd McConkey, as he’s seen double-digit targets in consecutive weeks and has scored in three of his past four.
Over his past three games, 40.9% of his receptions have come on balls thrown past the sticks, a nice spike from the 23.8% rate he had prior and a path to real upside as he absorbs some of the role that the ghost of Quentin Johnston has left behind.
I’m not ready to call him a top 10 receiver the rest of the way just yet. I still worry about a little skill repetition with Keenan Allen, but he’s the Bolt WR I want, and he’s a no-brainer starter in all formats.
