Ladd McConkey a Bright Spot Before Injuring his Chest

Sunday, September 13, 7:48 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wideout Ladd McConkey (chest) caught five of his seven targets for 82 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's shocking 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey quickly cemented himself as the team's WR1 and became Justin Herbert's favorite target over the middle. Unfortunately, his performance was cut short after taking a big hit late in the third quarter. He was immediately taken back to the locker room and did not return to the field. His status for Week 2 is up in the air, and we will get more information about his availability as the week goes on. If he can play, McConkey will have a favorable matchup at home against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jalen Coker a Must-Add After Week 1

Monday, September 14, 5:42 AM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker hauled in eight of nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns in the 59-37 loss to the Chicago Bears. While trailing for most of this game, the Panthers' passing offense was on center stage in Week 1, and Coker led the way. He played 57 of 61 snaps (93%) and had nine targets, the most among skill players. Despite talk of second-year receiver Tetairoa McMillan playing more in the slot, Coker was used there more often, playing 40% of snaps in the slot compared to McMillan's 21%. Over his last seven outings, he's had 36 receptions for 516 yards and six touchdowns, averaging 15 half-PPR fantasy points per game. As one of Carolina's top weapons, Coker is a must-add after Week 1 and could be a mid-WR3 option moving forward.
