Chargers Have No Plans To Get DJ Chark Involved

Tuesday, December 3, 2:15 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark has been active for just two games this season, and he has not recorded a target. The former 1,000-yard receiver has reportedly struggled to make an impact with his fourth NFL team and is unlikely to see an upgrade in his role down the stretch. "Some guys are playing better than him," head coach Jim Harbaugh said. "It's a meritocracy out there." Chark was a second-round pick by the Jaguars in 2018 and has recorded at least 500 yards in each season of his career in which he played at least five games. However, any deep-league fantasy managers holding onto him can let him go, though he might be worth holding in dynasty setups since he will be a 28-year-old free agent this offseason.

Quentin Johnston Plays An Insignificant Role In Week 16 Win

Friday, December 20, 12:37 AM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston played an insignificant role in a Thursday Night Football win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16. Johnston tied for the team lead with six targets but made just three catches for a total of 18 yards. The biggest play of the game for Johnston was a dropped pass when he was absolutely wide open and given a perfect pass from his quarterback Justin Herbert. The same drop issues that plagued him throughout his rookie year clearly remain this season despite marked improvement in his overall game. He'll look to bounce back rather than have the ball bounce off his hands in Week 17 against the New England Patriots.
