It looks like Ladd McConkey could avoid the late-summer Keenan Allen rug pull. It’s good news for McConkey as new Chargers OC Mike McDaniel plans to get the wideout more short-area looks in 2026 — targets Allen might have soaked up if he had returned to LA.

McConkey, who by many measures was unlucky in 2025, has WR1 upside in McDaniel’s offense.
