Camp reports earlier on were saying that Conley, Chark, and Westbrook were the clear top 3 in Jacksonville Its a bit surprising to see Cole get passed by Chark, and good news for Chark.

Yeah I've been reading the same but this gives a little credibility to the camp reports that are always positive.
Good news for us owners!
in some of my bestball10s and Draft bestballs I've been grabbing Chark in the last couple rounds. He's been connecting with Foles deep reportedly. It helps that the OC is super pass happy. I'm not too concerned about Conley - my reasoning is that if he didn't impress in Kansas City, I just can't get that excited about him. Dede IMO should be an excellent value this year, especially in PPR.
man what happened to Keelan Cole?

Yeah with Dede in the slot you might be right. Remember though in 2 wide sets Dede was on the sideline and Chark was in.
Chark was open deep several times last night. Hopefully he can get healthy and we'll see what happens.

Was just going to ask this question, and thought of you with your avatar. Amazing that has 3.3 BILLION views.

Would much rather have a piece of Dede but Chark is pretty much free at this point so worth a shot. Zero chance he outscores Dede. HOWEVER, there was a change of QB so there is the chance that Foles builds a lot of rapport with Chark and he ends up being his go to. I just find it unlikely.
Edit: Speaking of free - noticed he is $5 in the contest. I’ll buy for that.

What could have been...... Foles out kills Chark. Story of Charks career though.......

Did most of his stats come from Foles? I didn't see any of the game. Have Chark in a few leagues though.

Not sure about targets with Foles / Minshew but he looked pretty good "eye-test" wise imo. I just don't know about the opportunity / team / QB situation

Pretty good so far. I’m thinking of adding him cheap this week as he seems way under the radar.

B2B Double Digit in PPR to start the season...I don't want to pretend to know about a guy I don't know enough about.
-What is he doing to warrant the targets? Is he wide open, runs great routes, reliable hands, good size? What are you hitching your wagon to because if Minshew is the QB for the season he just might be the surprise guy here. I like Dede but he likely had great rapport with Foles, it's possible he hasn't caught that many balls form Minshew in practice.
Could he be a reliable 10-15 point guy in PPR leagues even if he doesn't have a high ceiling? Maybe his floor is higher than others.

From what I've seen, he gets separation pretty decently, has good size, is pretty athletic/fluid, does look a bit lanky though(probably why one poster is making the A.J. Green comps).
I've always been intrigued by guys who profile as deep threats/great athletes at WR and then work to round out their games to become a factor in the short/medium pass game as well.

Agreed it’s an intriguing profile.
He kind of reminds me of Robby Anderson, which is also the comp PlayerProfiler gives. Seems like he could have similar upside to that year where Anderson was a borderline WR1 amidst a dearth of other explosive options; he’s the type of WR you can have a decent chance chucking it up towards down the field

I still can't decide if going after him is simply chasing points or worth a grab to get on a trend that will continue.

I’m staying away personally but am pretty tempted. I just don’t see him continuing to thrive in this jags offense this year for whatever reason

Im so with the two posters above. Wondering if he is the next Allen Robinson or the next 1-2 game guy.

Would anyone drop MVS for Chalk? MVS is up against a bunch of good/great defenses, Chalk not as much. Dropoff at QB, but opportunity matters and Chalk is getting more than MVS. Whatcha think?

I did exactly that this morning. Dropped Dede for DJ.
I'm not 100% confident that it will prove to be the right decision going forward, but I can't ignore the fact that Chark is Top 10 in my league right now, even though 2 games is a small sample size.

I weighed going after Chark vs a potential longer term prospect in Tate. Lot of uncertainty around both situations in terms of sustainable (or provable) QB play, how targets might settle in, etc.
Love this sport because of all the quasi-educated guesses you need to make, but man I am struggling with uncertainty with Chark and overall this year. Seems to be a lot of moving pieces everywhere, and hard to know what's a trend in Week 2 or a deviation. You need to take risks sometimes as by Week 3, it may already be too late.
With Chark, and a favorable matchup already for me this weekend FF wise, I'll play the long game and see if I'm proven wrong about this guy and Minshew.

So you're one of the ones, like me, that sort of are either irrationally wrapped up in Minshew's story or just see competence from the backup QB position where it was previously thought lacking. Roundabout way of saying it could be the real deal for at least a spell. I had to cut Minshew in my main league today, but picked up Chark. Seven targets and then nine targets. Not bad.

I wish I knew that answer. Chark looks to be legit but it's tough dropping a known commodity for him. I am tempted to drop Curtis Samuel and get away from Cam and Carolina but Samuel really came alive last game. The bottom line is that Chark should be owned in all leagues and I wish I room to add him before someone else makes that add when waivers run this week.
