Ladd McConkey Week 5 Outlook - Broncos at Chargers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Sun, Oct 11th 2026, 11:35am EDT

Ladd McConkey hasn't practiced all week as he's dealing with a foot injury. He has been listed as questionable. I think he's closer to doubtful. I don't trust the Chargers injury reports at all, as we've seen too much goofy from them over the last two seasons. Even if McConkey is active (I doubt it), I'd expect him to be a limited-snap player with a bad matchup. Even without Patrick Surtain and Riley Moss, the Denver secondary is talented, and the Chargers don't have a healthy offensive line to hold their pass rush back from Justin Herbert. Sit McConkey. Denver has allowed the seventh-fewest yards per target and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per opportunity to perimeter wide receivers. *McConkey is expected to be OUT now. (Sunday morning update)*
