Who Should I Start? D.J. Chark or Terry McLaurin

Sunday, January 7, 5:40 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught two of his four targets for 46 yards in a 9-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Chark wound up leading the team in receiving in the loss. He was quiet for most of the season but finished the year on a high note as he went for nine catches, 162 yards, and two touchdowns over his final three games. Chark will look to catch on with another team this offseason as he will be an unrestricted free-agent.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six of eight targets for 56 yards during Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Another year, another what-if season for McLaurin. Although the fifth-year receiver had his fourth-straight 1,000-yard season, middling quarterback play still held him back for most of the year. Nothing exemplified this more than quarterback Sam Howell underthrowing a wide-open McLaurin for what would've been a 51-yard touchdown on Washington's first possession of Week 18. There is light at the end of the tunnel for this offense, as the Commanders are locked into the second pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. If the team selects one of the blue-chip quarterback prospects, McLaurin's fortunes could finally take a turn for the better next season.
