Chark has struggled with injuries throughout his five-year career and has yet to play a complete season. However, in 2019, he played 15 games and thrived, hauling in 73 receptions for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Chark hasn't done much since then and recorded just 30 receptions for 502 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games last season for the Lions. His injuries have been a major factor, but he was signed to Carolina this offseason and they're hoping he returns to his 2019 form. He'll be competing with Thielen for the WR1 spot and should be locked into a starting role, but unlike Thielen, age isn't a concern.
If he can stay healthy, the nearly 27-year-old (Sept. 23) has the potential for a 2019 repeat on a team that lacks receiver talent but that feels like his ceiling. He'll likely be drafted around the same time as Thielen in the later rounds or perhaps go undrafted in shallow leagues.

 D.J. Chark Out for Week 1, Adam Thielen Questionable
Carolina thin at receiver
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Sep 8, 12:32 pm
|  | D.J. Chark returned to practice as a limited participant Friday in his first day back since sustaining a hamstring injury, but he was ruled out for the season opener. Adam Thielen also returned to practice as a limited participant Friday after missing Thursday with an ankle injury. He's listed as questionable for Carolina's season opener, leaving the door open for him to play. (Panthers.com)
FFToday's Take: With Chark out and Thielen Questionable, the Panthers are a bit thin at receiver to start the season. We should see a lot of rookie Jonathan Mingo and Terrace Marshall Jr. (back) against the Falcons. Mingo is on the Flex radar for Week 1.
