Quentin Johnston out; Ladd McConkey questionable against Denver

Eric Smith

Oct 09 · 6:38 PM EDT

Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quad) are out Sunday. Ladd McConkey (foot) is questionable after missing all three practices. The Chargers also ruled out Joe Alt and Trevor Penning and placed Rashawn Slater on injured reserve.

Fantasy Impact:

Harris becomes a viable WR3/FLEX and could reach WR2 volume if McConkey also sits. Gadsden gains streaming appeal, while Davis and Valdes-Scantling remain deeper-league options. Herbert’s missing receivers and depleted protection make him difficult to trust outside Superflex leagues. Hampton could receive more touches, but the offensive line injuries limit how confidently managers can chase that volume.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey misses Thursday practice, seen limping

Chargers

Oct 01 · 7:22 PM EDT

McConkey did not practice Thursday after being limited Wednesday by a foot injury. ESPN’s Kris Rhim also observed McConkey leaving the locker room with a noticeable limp, suggesting his downgrade was more than routine workload management.

Fantasy Impact:

The downgrade and visible limp make McConkey’s Friday participation especially important. If he cannot play, Johnston and Harris would become the Chargers’ primary WR options, while Davis would be a candidate for additional slot reps. Thompson has also missed both practices this week, leaving Los Angeles short on healthy depth. Johnston and Harris would enter the flex and DFS conversation, while Gadsden could receive additional short-area targets. McConkey managers should prepare a late-window replacement.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey misses second straight practice

Chargers

Sep 17 · 6:47 PM EDT

McConkey remained sidelined Thursday because of his rib injury, marking his second consecutive missed practice.

The Chargers have not indicated that McConkey is expected to miss Sunday’s game against Las Vegas, but he will likely need to practice Friday—or receive a particularly encouraging game designation—to avoid carrying substantial Week 2 uncertainty.

Related Players: Justin Herbert, Quentin Johnston, Tre’ Harris, Brenen Thompson, David Njoku, Oronde Gadsden

Fantasy Impact:

A third consecutive absence would leave McConkey genuinely questionable for Sunday. Johnston and Harris would become the Chargers’ leading wide receiver options if he cannot play, while Njoku could also benefit in the short and intermediate areas. Herbert’s projection would take a hit without his primary receiver.
