2022 Fantasy Outlook
Chark's 2019 accounts for about half of his career receiving totals, though he's now played four seasons and 43 games. He had only 174 yards in 2018 as a rookie second-round pick, before
exploding in 2019 for a 73-1,008-8 receiving line on 118 targets. The next year, Chark dropped
to 53-706-5 on 93 targets in 13 games, and then last year he had 154 yards and two TDs before
suffering a season-ending ankle fracture Week 4. The 25-year-old now heads to Detroit on a
one-year, $10 million contract, and with plenty of time to work his way back from the ankle
injury. The problem, at least for Chark's fantasy value, is that rookie No. 12 pick Jameson
Williams might simply be better as the team's downfield threat once he completes his recovery
from an ACL tear suffered in January. The timing makes Williams uncertain for Week 1,
whereas Chark said in May that he didn't have any limitations at spring practices. Read Past Outlooks

Lands with Panthers
The Panthers have agreed to a one-year deal with Chark, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Chark caught 30 passes on 52 targets for 502 yards and three TDs in 11 games for Detroit in 2022, his lone campaign with the team. As long as he can stay healthy, the 26-year-old projects to be a key pass-catching target for the Panthers in 2023 alongside fellow newcomer Adam Thielen. Veteran signal-caller Andy Dalton currently tops the team's QB depth chart, but it's assumed that Carolina will bolster the position via the top pick in next month's NFL Draft, with Chark's early-season fantasy prospects in 2023 hinging on how well he meshes with the franchise's Week 1 starter.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
After his breakout 2019, a combination of rib, shin and ankle injuries cost Chark three games last year, and he never found any consistency with the Jaguars’ carousel of subpar quarterbacks. But help is on the way. The Jaguars drew the first pick in the draft, with which they selected uber-prospect Trevor Lawrence, who should provide an immediate and significant upgrade. At 6-4, 198, with blazing 4.34 speed, a 40-inch vertical and a 129-inch broad jump, Chark’s athletic profile jumps off the page. And he’s already put up a 1,000-yard, eight-TD season with Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles. Chark won’t just have a new quarterback, but also a new offensive coordinator (Darrell Bevell) and new coach (Urban Meyer). Bevell has directed some run-heavy offenses, but Meyer’s teams have usually had more wide-open attacks, and with Lawrence under center, we have to imagine the Jaguars will be throwing it. Chark should be the top target, but second-year man Laviska Shenault showed promise as the rookie, and the team signed veteran Marvin Jones this offseason.
