DJ Chark Fantasy

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark caught three of his four targets for just 14 yards in the 20-16 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 18. Chark did catch a game-sealing pass of fourth down late in the fourth quarter, but he didn't deliver as a boom-or-bust option in what could've been his last game as a Lion. Chark only signed a one-year deal with Detroit, seemingly as a placeholder for rookie wideout Jameson Williams, who will be all the way back from his ACL tear in 2023. There's a chance he's still a Detroit Lion in 2023, but it's far from a certainty. Either way, he could be on the fantasy radar next season depending on the landing spot.

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark is perfect for DFS contests, as he's usually under-owned in contests, but has real upside with big-play, touchdown upside. Chark has posted at least 94 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and is averaging 18.1 yards per reception on the season. Chark can rack up 100 yards and a touchdown in just one or two plays. However, he's also had plenty of down performances with just a handful of catches for fewer than 60 yards. Green Bay has allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers, but in DFS, the floor is of no concern. It's worth noting If the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams before this game kicks off, Detroit will already be eliminated from playoff contention, so there's also a risk the motivation could be lacking for this one.

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark caught just two of his four targets in the 41-10 blowout win over the Chicago Bears in Week 17. Chark has been a boom-or-bust fantasy play for most of his career, so it's not a surprise when he doesn't deliver in fantasy. Since Detroit had the game under control early in the second half, there wasn't a ton of passing volume to go around. Chark will continue to be a solid DFS dart throw against the Green Bay Packers next week with his big-play upside.
