Now, McConkey and the Chargers face a Buccaneers defense that allows the most receptions per game in the NFL (25.3). With Herbert back to full health and the Bucs' pass defense ranked among the league's worst, there is significant potential for the Chargers to have a big game through the air.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wideout Ladd McConkey has enjoyed a breakout season en route to being an obvious No. 1 target for Justin Herbert. Despite this, it isn’t enough just yet for McConkey to win over onlookers on a national scale.

Ladd McConkey missed the team's Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs and could be on the shelf for this game too. According to the team's final injury report, McConkey is questionable after practicing in a limited fashion this week while dealing with knee and shoulder injuries.
