Ladd McConkey News
Wednesday, August 26, 6:25 AM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey disappointed in 2025 following an electric rookie season that saw him finish as the WR12, but he could be primed for a major bounce-back in Mike McDaniel's offense. Recently appearing with Ari Meirov for a 2026 Chargers breakdown, The Athletic's Daniel Popper says that he envisions a "huge season" for McConkey if he can stay healthy. Reflecting on the way that five-time All-Pro Tyreek Hill was used by McDaniel in Miami, Popper believes McConkey will benefit from pre-snap motion and creative manipulation, allowing him to leverage defenses while taking advantage of his 4.3 speed. With veteran Keenan Allen no longer on the team, McConkey should see something close to an every-down role, and as RotoBaller's WR14, the 24-year-old is well-positioned to return to his rookie form.

Carnell Tate News
Sunday, August 23, 7:45 PM
Tennessee Titans head coach Robert Saleh is not concerned about the lack of targets for wide receiver Carnell Tate. Tate has been held without a catch on five targets through two preseason games, which is concerning given the Titans' passing production in recent seasons. Saleh brushed off the concerns, saying, "When it's time to scheme, we'll get the guys the rock." The fourth-overall pick played on 16 of quarterback Cam Ward's 22 offensive snaps and was used across the formation. With offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's history with star receivers, including Malik Nabers and Stefon Diggs, the Titans should have no trouble scheming targets for Tate this season.
