Latest news

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.

Ladd McConkey misses Wednesday practice with foot injury

Ladd McConkey did not practice Wednesday because of his foot injury, according to the Chargers’ official report. Quentin Johnston was limited with a chest injury, leaving both WRs’ participation worth watching ahead of Sunday’s game against Denver.

Related Players: Justin Herbert, Tre' Harris, Oronde Gadsden, Derius Davis

Fantasy Impact:

Wednesday’s absence supports keeping a contingency plan for McConkey. Harris and Gadsden would benefit from additional opportunities if he misses Sunday, with Johnston also positioned for more work if his chest injury does not interfere.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) day to day

RT Joe Alt (neck), WR Ladd McConkey (foot) and Donte Jackson (hamstring) are day to day.

Fantasy Impact:

McConkey had to leave Week 3's game with the foot injury, so owners are again risking another zero if things don't improve heading into Week 4. McConkey was limited on last Wednesday, didn't practice last Thursday and then returned for a limited Friday practice. McConkey saw two targets before not returning. Owners will need to see much more improvement in his practice time this week.

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.
