Ladd McConkey

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Chargers are “optimistic” Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) will play in Week 15 against the Bucs.

McConkey missed last week’s game with the pair of injuries. He practiced in a limited capacity three times before being listed as questionable but was ultimately held out of the game. McConkey got the same practice regimen this week and was also listed as questionable, making him a true game-time call. Per Rapoport, the plan is for McConkey to workout before the game before making a final determination on his status. Fantasy managers can cautiously treat the rookie as a WR2, though a backup plan is still recommended.
