Who Should I Start? Ladd McConkey or RJ Harvey

Friday, November 14, 5:38 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is good to go for Week 11 after practicing fully on Friday, despite dealing with an ankle issue earlier in the week. McConkey proved himself as the Chargers' WR1 last week with four catches for a team-high 107 yards and a touchdown, including a notable 58-yard chunk play. He now faces a Jacksonville Jaguars secondary that has been struggling lately, giving up the ninth-most passing yards, the fourth-most receiving touchdowns, and 31 receptions of 20 or more yards. Although McConkey will face a difficult slot matchup against Jaguars DB Jarrian Jones (allowing 3.6 yards/target), his volume and recent performance make him a valuable option. With WR Quentin Johnston (shin) listed as questionable heading into Sunday, RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR14 this week. He is expected to be a high-end WR2 with potential WR1 upside if Johnston misses.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said that rookie second-round running back RJ Harvey will "have a bigger role this week," according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "He'll have more opportunities in this game. He's built to last, and that's important," McVay added. Lead back J.K. Dobbins suffered a foot injury late in last Thursday's 10-7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Broncos are considering placing him on Injured Reserve, which would sideline him for at least four games. Denver doesn't have a great matchup against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming off their bye, this Sunday, but Harvey's increased volume alone will give him RB2 upside in fantasy football in Week 11. With Dobbins likely out this weekend, Tyler Badie should jump up into the RB2 role, with Jaleel McLaughlin probably being active as the No. 3.
