00:03 - I think this next player is going to put a huge smile
00:06 on Joe's face because you have talked about
00:08 the perfect storm, you were mentioning that earlier.
00:11 Well, it seems to be something brewing in Los Angeles
00:15 and this new face might be a vital part of it.
00:18 Your thoughts?
00:19 - Yeah, Lad McConkie ended up in a great spot.
00:21 And of course I was throwing things
00:23 when the Patriots didn't take him
00:24 because why would you wanna take a bright, young,
00:29 wide receiver who could make a huge impact?
00:30 Why would you wanna do that?
00:32 Anyway, Lad McConkie ends up with the Chargers.
00:35 And I know people are in one camp saying,
00:37 "Well, the Chargers are gonna run the hell out of football
00:39 and it's gonna be a very grinding Harbaugh kind of offense."
00:41 Yeah, but they gotta throw at some point.
00:43 And Harbaugh has a great young quarterback
00:46 in Justin Herbert here, where they have the opportunity
00:50 where now Keenan Allen's gone, Mike Williams is gone,
00:53 not that he was there when he was there,
00:55 but Lad McConkie kind of ends up being the guy.
00:56 And I know everyone keeps waiting for the,
00:58 "Who's the next Puka Nakua conversation?"
01:01 I don't know if there is one,
01:03 but if there's one that kind of feels like it,
01:05 it's Lad McConkie.
01:06 Because Lad McConkie will probably go late
01:08 in a lot of your drafts,
01:10 if even drafted at all in some shallow leagues.
01:12 I think that's a huge mistake
01:14 and maybe the fantasy community in the next couple months,
01:16 we're gonna educate people so much
01:18 where it's possible Lad McConkie goes
01:20 from being in a tremendous value to being overdrafted.
01:24 But if you look at these projections,
01:25 they're very conservative.
01:26 64 receptions, 818 yards, five touchdowns.
01:31 If he becomes the target guy in PPR leagues,
01:34 Lad McConkie is gonna smash.
01:35 He could go for well over a thousand yards.
01:37 He could approach a hundred receptions.
01:39 That's how good Lad McConkie could be.
01:41 And I think it's worth noting the upside that he has
01:44 and take advantage of the conservative ADP
01:46 when it comes to Lad McConkie.
