Should I Start DJ Chark?

Monday, July 21, 2:23 PM

Free agent wide receiver DJ Chark recently visited with the Chicago Bears, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. NFL.com's Christian Gonzales also mentions the Los Angeles Chargers as a possibility for Chark after the recent retirement of veteran wideout Mike Williams. The 28-year-old Chark played in seven games for the Chargers in 2024, logging just four catches for 31 yards and one touchdown. A hip injury forced him to miss 10 games. Chark has been a reliable downfield and big-play threat at certain points in his career, and he'd likely be called upon to play a part-time role in Chicago. There's familiarity between Chark and Bears head coach/play-caller Ben Johnson, who coached Chark back in 2022 when both were members of the Detroit Lions. Even if he does sign with Chicago, Chark is not a fantasy-relevant receiver at this point in his career.
