A.J. Brown News
Friday, March 6, 5:44 AM
The Los Angeles Chargers are "another team keeping tabs on the situation" involving Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown this offseason, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The Eagles are "holding firm on their steep asking price," though, and Russini also reports that "no team has made an official offer" to the Eagles. The New England Patriots "have poked around on it," and the Baltimore Ravens have also been mentioned as a potential landing spot for Brown if the Eagles decide to deal him. The Buffalo Bills were another team that could be a fit for Brown, but that may not be the case after they agreed to trade for receiver DJ Moore on Thursday. Despite being unhappy with his role in the offense last year in Philly, Brown still managed 78 receptions for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns in 15 regular-season games to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the fourth straight year. A move out of Philly won't necessarily mean more production for fantasy football managers.

Ladd McConkey News
Tuesday, February 17, 4:35 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey had a frustrating second season in the NFL. He caught 66 passes for 789 yards and six touchdowns, ranking as the overall WR30. He wasn't a total bust, but he certainly failed to live up to the expectations he had established after finishing as the WR13 as a rookie in 2024. That same year, he had 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns. Justin Herbert continues to play at a very high level, so we can't blame his regression on poor quarterback play. The Chargers' bottom-tier offensive line could have been a contributing factor, but more likely than not, defenses just started to do a better job game-planning for the former second-round pick now that they had a full year's worth of film on him. Los Angeles replaced offensive coordinator Greg Roman with Mike McDaniel this offseason, which should benefit all of the Chargers' skill players in fantasy football. Additionally, there might be a few extra targets to go around, now that Keenan Allen is headed for free agency. All in all, managers absolutely should not panic about McConkey after the 2025 season. In fact, dynasty managers might be able to buy low on McConkey if his current manager is frustrated by how he played last year.
