Who Should I Start? DJ Chark or Quentin Johnston

Monday, August 18, 11:19 AM

The Atlanta Falcons have released veteran wide receiver DJ Chark, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The team signed Chark in late July after wide receiver Darnell Mooney (shoulder) went down with a shoulder injury early in training camp. While Mooney has yet to return to the field, Chark's release could be an indication that Atlanta is confident that Mooney will not miss significant time. It could also simply mean that Chark was not part of the team's 53-man roster plans, regardless of Mooney's status. With Chark no longer in Atlanta, veteran KhaDarel Hodge looks like the top candidate to receive more playing time while Mooney is sidelined.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Johnston was a late addition to the injury report on Friday this week with a groin injury and will now sit out this weekend. The 24-year-old will try to get right for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys in Dallas next Sunday. With Johnston sidelined, there will be more targets to go around for Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, and rookie Oronde Gadsden. Rookie receiver Tre' Harris will also have an expanded role in the Chargers' passing game as the WR3 against a tough Chiefs defense. Johnston got off to a roaring start in 2025 with four touchdowns in the first four games, but he has only scored twice since Nov. 2 and has gone over 50 receiving yards just once since Sept. 28.
