D.J. Chark 2019 Outlook

[StevenSC400 693]

Why are you guys even worried about TDs? He's also got 485 receiving yards through 5 weeks. The TDs will probably drop off but his floor is still pretty high. There isn't a single WR in the NFL that will score a TD every single week so what exactly is your guys point? Thats your reason to trade him or to bench him? Sounds funny to me.

[Born Sinner 164]

I don’t understand the regression talks. He gets TDs because he has the ability to create separation as well as catch competitive throws. He already had a game without a TD, and then bounced back with a huge game like a WR1 does, so this isn’t some coincidence that he’s been playing that good and getting the targets. It’s not like the Jags will be like “alright he’s had enough, let’s use someone else now.” If he continues playing the way he has, why would they look elsewhere? He’s been their best receiver and through 5 weeks, so defenses have already been planning for him.

The problem with Chark's value going forward is not the TD's it's the volume. Most of his metrics are WR1 level but he ranks just 23rd in targets per game. That's barely WR2. Great player performing well, but his production will see a dip if his targets don't go up.

He’s had 8 and 11 the past two games...

Sat him last week and I’m starting him this week. Soooo, he will underwhelm because I’m usually wrong in these situations. You all have been warned.

That's been encouraging. He's still averaging 7.4 which is not going to sustain his current production.

i just don't see them benching foles already anyway they just gave him 88 mil 50 gtd to be a back up ?

unless they want to trade him i think he will start when healthy 

If Gardner stays the course and win about 50% of the games, he wont get benched. 

Gardner is a star!

He doesn't have the big name that the Rd1 or Rd2 wrs have. If those big name superstars had his stats so far this year he'd be a no-brainer start and you live and die with the results without regret. However because he's unknown he isn't a "rotoworld darling" yet so each week people will make excuses to not start him despite being top 6WR in 12 team 0.5ppr at the moment.

This is all I'm seeing.

T-I-G-E-R-S...TIGERS! My fearless forecast for Week 6: 7/120/1

[Nickmo 53]

There comes a point where you have to say it's not a fluke anymore, it's reality. Jacksonville's passing game has the right ability and right situation to sustain his production. They are 14th in pass attempts per game and 10th in yards per game. Nothing stellar, but in the top half no doubt.  Their defense isn't hard to score on and keeps them from run dominant game scripts (60/40% pass/run). Their offensive plays per game have gone up and they ran the 7th most plays per game the last 3 weeks.

The talent itself is also there. He can beat corners 1 on 1 and Minshew trusts him. Westbrook's reemergence should help take attention away and the better Fournette runs, the less teams can focus on the pass. The O'Shaunnessy injury is also a sneaky boosts to his stock, as O'Shaunnessy is the only jaguar with more looks inside the 20 than Chark. I'm buying ROS.

Is Lattimore shadowing Chark this week?

[esoomer 96]

There is the reality that Lattimore will most likely shadow Chark, remember Mike Evans and Cooper.....

Bunch of nervous nellies in this thread.

hopkins did pretty good 

i dont know if he was on lockett but he torched them too 

and kupp and cooks were decent im sure he was covering one of them as well 

[SyNdicateZ 661]

Starting Chark this week over Juju and Sutton.

[mjb 603]

We didn’t expect much today in a bad matchup (Mike Evans 0), stick with him as a set/forget.

[affliction 1,604]

Tried to warn people Gilmore is the only cb playing better than Lattimore. Better weeks ahead 

 

[affliction 1,604]

For us in return leagues I noticed he was back taking kicks. Is this something new?

[Brownsfan74 888]

He has a juicy schedule for the next 3 games.  Not sure how you can take him out of the lineup despite yesterday's effort.

Now, if he flops against the Bengals and Jets, you need to seriously re-evaluate him.

[euphonicjamz 41]

Feeling confident in Chark for the next few.  Elite secondaries will keep him in check, but barring injury I foresee significantly more booms than busts.  Can't ask for better in a WW pickup

Chark is not Hopkins or Evans.  When Chark has a Pro Bowl season, I'll give him the leeway that Hopkins and Evans get.  Until then, Chark is basically the same as McLaurin - two guys who, until further notice, should be in your lineup weekly but if they start to falter, you look for other options.  It would take a lot more to pull a Deandre Hopkins from my lineup than McLaurin or Chark.  These guys are rookies.
