Chargers No. 1 WR Ladd McConkey has reportedly strained his left hamstring, but he expects to be ready for training camp.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is officially the first Top-50 ADP fantasy asset to be injured during June workouts. McConkey minimized concerns regarding his hamstring strain, which was echoed by head coach Jim Harbaugh who said, “he is working through something” and it “isn’t a big concern.”

 

While the injury costs the sophomore receiver valuable training reps in Mike McDaniel’s new offensive scheme, he is facing a standard recovery window of weeks rather than months. Ironically, one of June’s highest ADP risers is the first to fall. Buy the dip on McConkey in all fantasy football formats and expect the target hog, who commanded a 21.3-percent Target Share to be fully functional by August.

The Los Angeles Chargers select WR Brenen Thompson with the 5th pick in the fourth round (#105) overall.

The Los Angeles Chargers just added wide receiver depth at No. 105 by drafting Brenen Thompson, a speed merchant whose scorched-earth 4.26-second 40-yard dash (100th-percentile) makes him the ultimate vertical threat in an offense designed to maximize explosive plays. Thompson earned a 23.1% Target Share (64th-percentile) while averaging a massive 17.9 Yards Per Reception at Mississippi State, proving he can dominate as a field-stretcher despite a late 22.1 Breakout Age.

 

In Dynasty, he joins a crowded WR room behind Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris, but can carve out a role as that field stretcher, with a top speed of nearly 24 mph.  He should be considered a late round rookie pick.
