• Chargers' DJ Chark: Injuries derail season

  02/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Chark appeared in seven regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, making four catches (on 10 targets) for 31 yards and a touchdown. Chark signed a one-year deal in the spring and likely was pegged to take over the deep-threat role in the Chargers offense left behind by the departure of Mike Williams. However, a hip injury and then a groin injury to follow delayed the LSU product's team debut. The missed time left Chark unable to catch up, as he also missed a game as a healthy scratch. Set to be an unrestricted free agent this spring, the 28-year-old could be a candidate for a second opportunity, or he may have to look elsewhere to be on an NFL sideline in 2025.

• Chargers' DJ Chark: Wraps regular season with one catch

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Chark secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders. Chark's inaugural season with the Chargers was disastrous, as he compiled just four grabs for 41 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets across seven regular-season appearances. Hip and groin injuries resulted in Chark's 2024 debut being delayed until Week 10. He has drawn seven combined targets in his last two appearances however, as he finally gets a chance to establish some chemistry with Justin Herbert. Chark will try to make an impact in the playoffs, beginning with Saturday's wild-card round game against Houston, prior to hitting free agency this offseason.

• Chargers' DJ Chark: Moving into No. 3 role Sunday

  01/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  Chark is projected to operate as the Chargers' No. 3 receiver in Sunday's Week 18 game against the Raiders due to Joshua Palmer (toe) being designated as inactive for the contest. Chark has been a virtual afterthought in his debut Chargers campaign due to both injury and ineffectiveness. The veteran wideout enters the regular-season finale against the Raiders with just three receptions for 25 yards on seven targets across six games, but at least by depth-chart slotting, he'd be the next man up behind Palmer. It remains to be seen how long head coach Jim Harbaugh will keep his starting offense in Sunday, but Chark is one player who could potentially see action in all four quarters.

• Chargers' DJ Chark: Modest production against Tampa Bay

  12/18/2024 • By RotoWire

  Chark caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-17 loss to the Buccaneers. Chark played just nine of the Chargers' 52 offensive snaps in the contest, well behind fellow receivers Ladd McConkey (46), Joshua Palmer (39) and Quentin Johnston (38). The veteran's two receptions, two targets and 16 yards were season highs in each category, highlighting what has been a disappointing season for the 28-year-old. Chark has appeared in just four games for Los Angeles and is clearly not a priority option in the Chargers' passing attack. He should be ignored for fantasy purposes when the Chargers host the Broncos in Week 16.

• Chargers' DJ Chark: Active for Sunday's game

  12/01/2024 • By RotoWire

  Chark is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Chark is back in the Chargers' wideout mix Sunday, but with Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer also on hand, Chark will remain a speculative fantasy option until he turns in a full and productive game.
