WR D.J. Chark, ATL (2 Viewers)

I drafted Chark in multiple leagues with the thinking that we'd see a lot of games like today: a solid to good game turns into a really good FF day thanks to garbage time stats.

 
1-4-0 through the first half.

Got a PI call on a likely touchdown, but his targets are few and far between.

Minshew looks awful today, but Houston did that to him last year, too. 

 
Chark being ignored again and Jags losing to 0-4 Houston. There is no excuse for this. It's obvious Gruden is bad at his job at this point. 

 
Any current news on this? I have seen...... not a peep today anywhere.

I own him in at least 2 spots, I'm not so much worried about that (hes a bench WR3) but I am moreso concerned if some of us desperate can pick up and snag Keelan Cole as a fill in for a week or so.

In fact, as a Chark owner, I actually HOPE HE SITS for a week or so. Get him fresh for some late season usage if needed.

So when did he get hurt in the game? I don't recall seeing him in the 2nd half but I never saw or heard about the injury. I was watching on RZ.

He limped off with like six left. I saw it, but there was no real addressing of it other than to say he wasn't in the game.

Never understand this take or logic.

You dont even know what his injury really is, but you hope he sits? 😵

Who likes to see good players sit not even knowing the injury and its severity?

This really isn't that difficult.

 Actually, we DO know what the injury is, it is an ankle injury, and one that took him out of the game.  I would much rather know he is NOT 100%  , and let him sit for a week or two, than roll him out confidently when he is largely a decoy or in a situation where he can't be up to speed enough to be effective and perform. Let him  as a player heal up, and be in a better position to actually start and help the team.

 Maybe you should ask JULIO JONES about that this year.

It is not a "take" whatsoever.   Its pretty simple.

The main writer for the Jags website stated in his game report that Chark injured his ankle in the 4th quarter.  It may not be serious. Check and see if he practices tomorrow, or later in the week.

Thanks for answering my question as to who likes to see such things.

Since you know is it a HAS, an achilles, a calf was it just a cramp?  To be honest, the only place you know its an ankle injury is from a random blurb at Roto...

Thats all it says.I have seen no other reports as a Chark owner checking the internet and twitterspehere.

But sit out next week cuz you read that blurb? Its not that simple when your logic is based on that one blurb.

You are just stirring up bull#### for no reason.

 In fact, you sound eerily similar to a guy last year who accused me of wanting players to get hurt, (because I was high on holding handcuffs) and everyone scoffed at you then.

 Regardless, take your troll show to someone else moron.

 You are now muted.  I should have known had I looked at your post count.

D.J. Chark (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday.

Chark limped off in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss. The missed practice is a bad sign for his Week 6 status. Chark will need to get in at least a limited practice by Friday to have a chance to play this week.

D.J. Chark (ankle) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice. 

After struggling to get healthy before a breakout Week 4, Chark is now back on the shelf after only one good game. He struggled to a 3/16 before departing last week's loss to the Texans. We would not expect him to suit up for Sunday's likely shootout with the Lions, leaving Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole to dominate targets. Chark has the talent to be a high-end WR2, but 2020 is quickly shaping up to be a lost season for the third-year pro.

The ticker during the other games mentioned Chark left the game with an ankle so not sure what this drivel is about...

Frustration or a sort of jujitsu type of trolling, maybe? Either way, a surprise from the otherwise earnest Milky.

Just frustration. It's been 4 years straight like this. Gets old when the run bad just goes on and on. He's season is close to shot. Diontae has a little better shot but not much.

He's big on attention. He's gotta be all-in or all-out on someone.

 
Razors Edge said:
The drivel is why are people asking players to sit the day they find out about injury without knowing the severity.

Those who say such things are thinking about their own team, doesnt help the masses.

This is awfully left-fieldish. What concern is it of yours what TZ thinks is the right thing to do? It's not like he's a team doctor or has any influence over the situation. The situation is what it is -- it'll all come out in the wash eventually and we'll see what they do. Personalizing his desire to see him sit is what's a little weird here.

 
Just need this guy to get healthy. I'm worried he is going to keep coming back not 100% and reinjuring himself. Not looking forward to that repeating all season. 

 
D.J. Chark (ankle) is questionable for Week 6 against the Lions.

This questionable tag comes after Chark did very little in practice this week. Chark looks headed for a game-time decision. Laviska Shenault and Keelan Cole would see a bump in targets if Chark sits.

This made my head hurt. 😵

My concern is a called discussion? Why is it your concern why I asked him? Remember your answer can be my answer too.

My concern is someone they day of an injury and before any news is out is calling for a player to sit, that can mislead other posters as if other more severe news came out that hasnt been posted here. I wanted to know why while asserting we dont know what his injury is yet. Isnt discussion the point? When as you stated he isnt a doctor and knows nothing more than any limp off the field news at that point. And since he isnt a team doctor, why is he calling for players to sit? lol none of it matters but thats the weird part. Why is it ok for opinions and statements like that to go unchecked? Thats why we are here to discuss and why I joined.

Call it "weird" all you want but people saying someone should sit when no news but "ankle" is out at the time is a little "odd" to me hence me questioning it. 

Ankle: NP, NP, LP with a Q tag. Expected by most of us, most likely wont play against a bad Lions team...but we need to hope players play not hope they sit. Never understood the logic as the only people who say that are selfish people who dont need them that said week. 

All trivial really, but discussion is discussion. I dont want Chark to sit, if he can walk, play...this was the 80s, he would play. I never want good players to sit.

TL;DR. And now the thread is getting mucked up.

Let's keep it on Chark. 

 
Chark was DROPPED this week and no one has rushed to pick him up. Sitting as a FA to scoop. No one is biting yet. He looks like he's also could be out and a game time decision. Not a whole lot of confidence here. Short benches and other injuries coupled with Chark's drop in rankings everywhere - even FBG's have him as WR #38 overall in our scoring projections for the ROS. That means nothing more then a WR #3/4. Wow. Now, granted he could heal soon and become a WR #2 right? I'm not rushing out to pull the trigger because I've got too many other upside WR's like Jefferson, Claypool, and Ruggs to start as WR 3's or this week Claypool in the Flex.

I’d stash him for sure.

WR12 before last weeks mess in PPG in PPR with a 17.8, more than TerryMac and OBJ at that point.

He is a WR1 when healthy with some good ceiling.

Do you think he will out perform Jefferson and/or Claypool over the rest of the season. Those two are probably safer bets for today, given Shefter's comments.

 
Razors Edge said:
Yeah Im not playing Chark unless I get reports he looks fine from the pregame. 

But still, glad its not a HAS cuz if it was he wouldnt be Q I dont think and they may have IRd him already.

Tea leaves is all we have, but when he plays, I love his upside always.

I’m 50/50 on Chark vs Hardman. Hopefully we get some pregame reports on how he looks. Good point that it is positive that he’s not on IR though.

In the same spot...the fact Watkins is not playing makes me feel better about the Hardman option...hopefully we get some more info pre-kickoff.

Same but the Lions D is a bad that I’m not sure Chark needs 2 ankles to have a big game. Hardman is like a ghost. He only seems to show up when you aren’t looking for him.

Could not agree more...he is on my Dynasty team and pretty far down the depth chart but between byes and injuries I may have to go with him...definitely not what I was looking to do this year.

 
I’d go Chark over Hardman fairly easily. We’re assuming he just rolled the ankle at this point. Playing a week later rules out HAS. Tape that sucker and roll. I’m leaning him over Deebo.

 
(RotoWire) Chark (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, is being viewed by the Jaguars as a game-time decision, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Pelissero's report paints a less rosier picture of Chark's health than one issued late Saturday by Adam Schefter of ESPN, who indicated the wideout was likely to play. In any case, Chark's status will come down to how he fares in a pregame workout, with a final word on his availability (or lack thereof) coming when the Jaguars release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET.

 
Since I'm a Lions homer and will be watching the game, I am certain Chark will go off and make me regret this, but I am sitting him for D.Henderson, T.Fulgham, and P.Williams as of right now.  I've got 3 hours to swing back and forth wildly on this however. 

 
Sitting him with Julio, AJB and Robby A starting.  Hate to do it as I love his game and matchup though.
