Summary
Ladd McConkey carries a 90.0 dynasty score, ranking 17 at WR. McConkey’s production declined in 2025 with a 73rd percentile production grade and 60th percentile efficiency grade, but he remains a valuable asset heading into 2026 at age 24 with 3 years remaining on his contract.
Projection Rationale
McConkey’s 789 receiving yards and 66/106 targets in 2025 indicate a stable production trajectory, but his efficiency grade is a concern. His Verdict efficiency grade at the 60th percentile suggests room for improvement. McConkey has 3 years remaining on his contract with an APY of $2,498,797, providing stability for his role.
Injury Risk
No injury entries in 2025. McConkey’s Verdict durability grade at the 94th percentile suggests he is relatively durable, but his age and increasing usage may raise concerns for the future.
Opportunity Notes
McConkey’s snap share trended down in 2025, averaging 79.7% compared to previous seasons. His role is secure, but his reduced playing time may impact his production.
Scheme Fit Analysis
Mike McDaniel coordinates a Shanahan-tree offense with a 71.1% shotgun rate and 52.6% pass rate, which should benefit McConkey’s receiving production. The scheme’s emphasis on zone runs and quick passes may limit McConkey’s ceiling, but his usage and efficiency should remain stable.
Trend Assessment
Declining. McConkey’s trend direction is declining due to his production grade, which declined compared to the previous season.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling: WR2-WR4. McConkey’s ceiling is a top-4 wide receiver finish, contingent on his efficiency and usage remaining stable. Floor: WR5-WR7. McConkey’s floor is a mid-tier wide receiver finish, referencing his trade value of 8,775.
