The Chargers are hosting the Broncos for Week 16’s edition of Thursday Night Football. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Los Angeles is favored by 2.5 points and this game’s total is set at 42 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Ladd McConkey prop to consider from this contest.

Best Ladd McConkey Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Ladd McConkey U 65.5 Receiving Yards (-120)

McConkey has had some strong performances as of late, but these were mostly results of great matchups. The rookie now finds himself in one of the worst possible spots, with an elite Broncos secondary on the other side. This season, Denver is allowing the third-fewest yards per pass in the NFL (6.0) and it is pressuring quarterbacks at the second-highest rate.

Additionally, the Broncos are limiting quarterbacks to the second-fewest yards per pass (6.5) and fourth-lowest completion percentage when targeting players in the slot (62%). That is bad news for McConkey, as 72.2% of his routes have come from the slot. When the Chargers faced the Broncos in October, McConkey only caught four passes for 43 yards.

This Thursday’s AFC West matchup carries a low 42-point total on DraftKings Sportsbook and McConkey should fall short of his 65.5-receiving yard line.
