By Cole Hartwell

Ladd McConkey is being evaluated for a head injury on Sunday, according to Underdog NFL and Adam Schefter.

What happened

The Chargers wide receiver was being evaluated for a head injury during the Week 6 game at the Kansas City Chiefs.

Context

McConkey entered Sunday with 36.3 PPR points, 17 targets, 12 receptions, 183 receiving yards and 1 touchdown through four games this season. Sleeper projected 11.3 PPR points for the Week 6 matchup.

Depth chart

Quentin Johnston is next on the Chargers’ wide receiver depth chart behind McConkey. Johnston has 18.1 PPR points, 19 targets, 7 receptions and 108 receiving yards through four games. Theo Wease has 2.6 PPR points on 1 reception, Marquez Valdes-Scantling has 4.2 PPR points on 2 receptions, Brenen Thompson has 2.3 PPR points on 1 reception, and Derius Davis has -0.4 PPR points on 1 reception this season.

Timeline

On Oct. 1, McConkey was not seen participating in Thursday’s practice and appeared likely to be listed as a limited participant, according to a report. On Oct. 4, he was likely to play in Week 4 despite battling a foot injury all week, according to a source.

Status alert: Ladd McConkey is being evaluated for a head injury on Sunday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

McConkey’s status is uncertain after being evaluated for a head injury. If he misses time, Johnston would be the primary beneficiary, but he has been inefficient with only 7 catches on 19 targets for 108 yards. None of the other Chargers wide receivers has proven to be a reliable fantasy option this season. Fantasy managers should monitor McConkey’s status following the game.
