Who Should I Start? Ladd McConkey or Matthew Golden

Wednesday, December 10, 10:29 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice. This is a new injury for McConkey, so it bears monitoring, but it should be noted that he led all Chargers non-quarterback skill players with 64 offensive snaps in a Week 14 overtime win over the Eagles. The Chargers travel to Kansas City in Week 15, and with a banged-up offense coming off one of their sloppier performances of the season, it's reasonable to distrust most of Los Angeles' passing game against a Chiefs defense that has been stout across the board for most of the year. McConkey is currently RotoBaller's WR22, though that ranking could drop based on his practice availability.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Matthew Golden (wrist) was a limited participant again in Thursday's practice session, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN. Golden has been held back by a nagging wrist injury for a few weeks now, and it contributed to him barely playing on Sunday against the Chicago Bears. The rookie first-rounder played just 9.4% of the offensive snaps and saw one target. It was by far his lowest snap share of the season, with his previous low being the last game he played in Week 11 against the New York Giants. It's difficult to see Golden's role ticking back up with Jayden Reed returning from injury in Week 14, and the Texas product can't be trusted by fantasy managers in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos on the road.
