The Chargers remade their wide receivers group this offseason, and the rookie McConkey is emerging as Justin Herbert's trusted target.

With a bye week incoming the Los Angeles Chargers will get a chance to rest and return their injured players, and with the recent breakout of McConkey they should be in a good position to show off quite the potent offense come week 6 of the regular season.

McConkey showed excellent body control on his seven yard touchdown catch. McConkey, who was a second round pick in the 2024 NFL draft, had 10 receptions for 109 yards and a touchdown in his NFL career entering Sunday’s game against the Chiefs.

Justin Herbert faked a handoff and dropped back, delivering a throw as he was hit by Chiefs defender Malik Herring. At first, it looked like he was simply throwing the ball away in the direction of McConkey, but the rookie worked back to the ball in tight coverage and made a fantastic catch.
