Ladd McConkey questionable for LAC vs SEA: if he sits, Tre' Harris gains the most (7.5 to 9.2); play probability about 56%
AI-assisted. Written automatically from our model's own numbers with fixed templates; nothing is invented, and no language model adds facts. How this works.
At Oct 5, 2026, 12:58 PM CT the injury feeds we track showed a change for the Los Angeles Chargers, so the model re-simulated their game against SEA:
- Ladd McConkey (WR) was listed as questionable (our model still has him playing); he now projects for 8.9 half-PPR points (median 7.5)
Fantasy outlook
- Ladd McConkey (WR, questionable): 8.9 → 8.9 half-PPR, WR26 → WR26. Verdict: flex only.
Half-PPR projection (mean of 10,000 sims) and weekly positional rank before and after this change. Verdicts use the same tiers as our start/sit page: top 12 QB/TE and top 24 RB/WR are starts, then flex range (QB 13-16, RB 25-32, WR 25-36, TE 13-16), otherwise bench. Rest-of-season impact not shown: our model projects one week at a time.
Who benefits
If he sits this week: (play probability about 56%) Half-PPR projection change vs the with-him baseline from our injury redistribution sims.
- Tre' Harris (WR): 7.5 → 9.2 half-PPR (+1.7). Usage: targets 5.2→6.5; catches 3.4→4.2; receiving yards 44.5→54.8; target share 17%→20%.
- Quentin Johnston (WR): 7.5 → 9.0 half-PPR (+1.5). Usage: targets 6.7→8.1; catches 3.4→4.1; receiving yards 45.1→54.2; target share 21%→26%.
- Oronde Gadsden II (TE): 5.4 → 6.3 half-PPR (+0.9). Usage: targets 3.5→4.3; catches 2.4→2.9; receiving yards 29.4→35.7; target share 11%→13%.
- Omarion Hampton (RB): 9.3 → 9.8 half-PPR (+0.5). Usage: targets 1.7→2.2; catches 1.4→1.8; target share 6%→7%.
Rest of season
This looks like a short-term / one-week designation, so the rest-of-season impact is minimal.
