No. 25 (offense) – WR D.J. Chark Jr.
D.J. Chark is a few seasons removed from his 2019 campaign, that saw him catch a career-high 73 passes for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns and earned him a Pro Bowl selection. Since then he has appeared in just 17 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his 2020 season was cut short due to a fractured ankle.
However, Chark is another prototyical X receiver in this free agent class, with the size, speed and release game to operate on the boundary and be effective in the downfield passing game.
…
His injury history might soften the market a bit, but as we have seen receivers that can win on the outside against press and without the benefit of the two-way go from the slot are valued heavily, so Chark’s skill-set might still open some doors should he hit the open market.
Though Touchdown Wire says he was hurt during the 2020 season, it was actually this past season in 2021. He was considered a breakout candidate with rookie quarterback Trevor Lawrence coming to town, but he only played in the first four games.
His contract expires this offseason, but many expect that the Jaguars will bring him back. The team has among the most cap space in the league this offseason, and it can’t afford to lose contributors at receiver. If Chark hits the open market, though, he will certainly have a number of suitors.
