Who Should I Start? DJ Chark or Jalin Hyatt

Friday, July 25, 5:09 PM

Veteran free-agent wide receiver DJ Chark, who spent the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Chargers, is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons on Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Chark, who has also played with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Carolina Panthers, will now head to the NFC South after going on several visits. The 28-year-old former second-rounder (61st overall) by the Jags in 2018 out of LSU spent most of last year with the Bolts injured and only managed to catch four of 10 targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in seven games (no starts). Chark's only 1,000-yard season in his seven years in the NFL came back in 2019 with Jacksonville in his second year in the league. He will give the Falcons receiver depth but will be fighting for a 53-man roster spot, so he can remain off the fantasy radar mostly everywhere for now.

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt (undisclosed) didn't travel with the team for their preseason game against the Buffalo Bills on Saturday. Head coach Brian Daboll said Hyatt is currently dealing with an undisclosed injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, so hopefully fantasy managers will get more information soon. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to see if Hyatt returns to practice early next week. The 23-year-old is currently competing for a depth spot behind Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, and Darius Slayton.
