| 0:00.0 | It's time to improve your fantasy team, and the best way to do that is by buying low on some of the best wide receivers in the game that haven't popped off just yet. And in this video, I believe I've identified the seven best wide receivers you should be trading for, not now, but right now, to help you win, your fantasy league. And beautiful people were starting off with the rookie for the Los Angeles Chargers, Ladd-McConkie, who look, he's not coming off of the greatest game. We could pull up his box score from this last week against Denver, which was a tough matchup, |
| 0:03.7 | although you did see Patrick Zertango down with a concussion in this game, but only eight fantasy points for Ladd McConkey. He does it on just four catches for 43 yards. Now, that's not great, but this definitely needs some more context because the underlying usage, once again for Ladd McConkey, the rookie, was good. And here's what I mean by that underlying usage. You can see right here on Fantasy Life in week six. We go down right here. |
| 0:21.3 | I'm highlighting it. underlying usage once again for Ladd-McConkie, the rookie, was good. And here's what I mean by that underlying usage. You can see right here on Fantasy Life in week six. We go down right here, |
| 0:41.1 | I'm highlighting it for you, a 25% target chair. That led the chargers in week six. And now let's look at every single week here. Look at the weeks and look at the target share. 28% target chair in week one led the team. |
| 0:34.6 | Week 3, 30% led the team. |
| 0:36.2 | Week 4, 27% and now week 6, he gets that 25%. |
| 0:40.1 | So what does that mean in four to five games this year? one led the team. Week 3, 30% led the team. Week 4, 27%. And now week 6, he gets that 25%. |
| 0:56.3 | So what does that mean? In four to five games this year, because the Chargers have already had their buy, he's been the number one receiver on the team. By far the season, it's him, not guys like Quentin Johnston. But in week six, he didn't have a great game because it was just four catches for 43 yards on these eight targets. He didn't find the end zone. He didn't have an |
| 0:53.6 | explosive play downfield. And honestly, it's because the Chargers got up by multiple scores. They got up by multiple scores. And in the second half, they didn't throw the ball all that much. Instead, they led on J.K. Dobbins for 25 carries, which he couldn't even break 100 yards. He wasn't all that good in this game. I think he could be a potential tradeaway option since he did find the end zone for 18 points, but it was the game where kind of what we expect from the charges. |
| 1:29.2 | Their offensive line got healthier. They played with a lead. Jim Harbaugh said, let's run the ball 25 plus times what are starting running back, which means your wide receivers probably aren't going to get there most weeks when that happens. But we already know now. |
| 1:24.4 | We already know through just six weeks of the season. |
| 1:26.1 | And it's great that we didn't have to wait until the midway point of the year, |
| 1:28.3 | that Ladd-McConkie is the number one receiver on this team. |
| 1:30.6 | Josh Palmer's been battling |
| 1:45.6 | injuries all year and he just doesn't look like that guy right now. And Quentin Johnston, remember when people thought Quentin Johnston was going to be the number one receiver on this team? Because early on in the year, he had multiple touchdown catches. A couple of those were on broken plays. Ladmokonky doesn't need broken plays. He gets open based on his route running, |
| 1:43.6 | just like he did in college and he's doing it right now. He's that good of a player. And I do |
| 1:46.8 | believe that we should also note that Justin Herbert, of course, had that foot injury, the planter fascia issue in the preseason and training camp, and it followed him into the NFL season where he re-injured it early on. And then the Chargers lost multiple pieces on their offensive lines to injuries. But now Herbert looks healthy and that offensive line is getting healthy. That's going to help the whole offense and McConkey. |
| 2:19.7 | Especially in games where they're forced to throw more, which could easily happen this week, where they go on the road to the Cardinals. The Cardinals is a nice match for McConkey, more on that in a second. And this Cardinals spot, I mean, it could turn into a sneaky shootout. We have a situation where Arizona does have playmakers, assuming they can get back Marvin Harrison from a concussion. |
| 2:18.2 | We'll see about that. |
| 2:19.0 | But also, Arizona ranks bottom three in the NFL right now in yards per play allowed, meaning this is a nice spot for Ladd-McConkey. And very quietly, the rookie McConkey, not only is he earning targets, but he's been highly efficient on them. As a rookie, he already ranks top 20 in yards per route run, which is a very sticky stat. It's your efficiency. |
| 2:51.8 | It shows how good you are. |
| 2:56.9 | And year to year, this is probably the best stat or one of the best stats we see for wide receivers to tell us how good they are. |
