The different is that last year the offense was stunted because they lacked vertical threats. This year, the Chargers have options that can attack defenses vertically from various alignments, which will open up short and intermediate areas for McConkey. Rookie wideout Tre&#8217; Harris and rookie tight end <a class=\"rbPlayer nfl\" data-id=\"25876\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/nfl\/player\/25876\/Oronde+Gadsden\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Oronde  Gadsden<\/a> both have the ability to make plays down the field for the Bolts and take attention away from McConkey. McConkey was a fantasy stud in his first year in the NFL with 82 catches on 112 targets for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (14 starts). The Chargers will remain a run-first offense, but McConkey should still be in play as a low-end WR1\/high-end WR2 in fantasy.&#8211;<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rotoballer.com\/author\/keithghernandezgmail-com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Keith Hernandez<\/a><br \/>Source: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/6442020\/2025\/06\/23\/nfl-offseason-2025-workouts-practice-observations-rookies\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Athletic &#8211; Daniel Popper<\/a>                <\/p>\n<p>        <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ladd McConkey Should be More Dangerous in 2025 Share: Link copied to clipboard!
