DJ Chark Jr. Fantasy

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught just one pass for 19 yards in Week 2's 23-13 loss at the hands of the Denver Broncos. Chark's Week 2 dud comes on the heels of a Week 1 performance in which he dominated targets and found the end zone. The young wide receiver was partially a victim of circumstance in this one, as the entire offense struggled against a tough Broncos defense, but this was clearly a step in the wrong direction. Chark is still very fantasy viable as a boom/bust WR4 with big week-to-week upside, but fantasy managers will have to be wary of the wideout's volatility within a shaky offense until further notice.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is an intriguing Week 2 fantasy option after he caught three balls for 86 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 while also leading the team in targets with 12. Chark, who had a massive 16.3 aDOT in Week 1, is the clear deep threat in Jacksonville, and it appears that he will get the volume necessary to convert some of those deep shots into fantasy production against the Broncos in Week 2. Denver is strong upfront, but middling on the back end, and they allowed Giants receivers to score the ninth most fantasy points among NFL teams in Week 1. Chark should be started in most leagues, though his potential volatility should still be a consideration for managers with plenty of strong options.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught three passes for 86 yards and a touchdown in the team's 37-21 Week 1 defeat against the Houston Texans. The bulk of Chark's production came on a beautiful 41-yard touchdown reception towards the end of the third quarter. Outside of that play, Chark only caught two other passes despite racking up a massive 12 targets on the day. The relative per target inefficiency is understandable when you consider that Chark and Trevor Lawrence had little practice time to build chemistry due to the wideout's preseason finger surgery. Chark's performance was very positive overall and he looks like a WR3 with plenty of big-play and volume-based upside going forward.
