Ladd McConkey News
Wednesday, September 30, 3:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. McConkey suffered a rib injury in the season-opening loss to the Arizona Cardinals and was questionable for Week 2 before ultimately suiting up. The 24-year-old is now on the injury report with a foot injury as the Bolts prepare to face the Seattle Seahawks on the road in Week 4. Through the first three games of the 2026 season, the former second-rounder from Georgia has 12 receptions for 183 yards and a touchdown on 15 targets. McConkey remains a key piece of the Chargers' passing attack, but the offense has yet to hit its stride under new coordinator Mike McDaniel through a tough early portion of their schedule. It will not get any easier for McConkey and the Chargers this weekend against Seattle's strong defense, but as long as he is cleared to play on Sunday, he should be kept in most starting fantasy lineups as one of quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite targets.

Matthew Golden News
Wednesday, September 30, 5:11 AM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden has been in the midst of a breakout season in 2026. In three games, the second-year receiver has hauled in 15 of 30 targets for 253 yards and a touchdown, averaging just under 13 half-PPR fantasy points per game. After struggling mightily in his rookie season, Golden has turned the corner, with the Packers using him more frequently and implementing the second-most pass-heavy offense in the NFL this season. While Christian Watson will remain a key part of this passing game, there's no reason he and Golden can't both produce in this pass-heavy offense, with running back Josh Jacobs on the commissioner's exempt list. As they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4, Golden is a must-start wide receiver as he looks to build on his hot start.
