DJ Chark Jr. Catches Two Passes In Loss To Saints

12 months ago

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. was held under 50 receiving yards for the ninth time in 11 games on Sunday in the 28-6 loss to the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Chark hauled in two of his four targets for 26 yards on a day in which rookie first-round quarterback Bryce Young put the ball in the air 36 times. Chark's 26 yards were second on the team behind Adam Thielen's 74. The 27-year-old just hasn't been a trustworthy receiving option for the Panthers or fantasy managers in his first year in Carolina in one of the worst offenses in the NFL. The former second-round pick in 2018 hasn't found the end zone since Week 9 and has just one game in 2023 where he has gone over three receptions, and that came all the way back in Week 3, when he had four catches for a season-high 86 yards and a score on a season-high 11 targets. Chark hasn't been targeted more than six times since.
